What say you? Presidential Candidates for 2012

[Twana Blevins]

The Steele led GOP and main stream media are already trying to run the same crap they have been for years. We The People need to run who we want. So lets get to work.

List men we should vett for POTUS candidates. I would also suggest we should not have a CIC that has never served in our military.

Add facts (not hearsay) with reliable linked url references so information can be verified. Add what your opinions are, based on facts, on people as Presidential candidates for 2012.

My first choice right now is Allan West. I make note West may not run. He has never said he would. I along with many others will be observing his work in DC. We have had someone posting hearsay on here about West, which has not been proven factually.

Also this post is not for starting a battle amongst ourselves. This is a way for us to work together to vett POTUS candidates

Huckabee has already been through the vetting "mill" and come up clean. Trump on the other hand may be a problem...

[Twana Blevins]

Reliable url reference for the vetting mil info?

[Gail Hartel]

could not find anything reliable, just a lot of articles about the McCain vetting of VPs and that Huckabee was vetted after others

[Twana Blevins]

thanks for searching Gail.

I like Trump too, my only concern is that he is not very diplomatic. He is a tough negotiator though and won't take any bull. Very much the individual thinker and would surround himself with the right people and not just friends and cronies.

Here is a view of Trump in Scotland (where his mother came from). He is trying to build a golf course/luxury housing development in a coastal area and is trying to evict local residents - but now is angry to find a windfarm offshore will spoil the view:

The last thing we need is some who is on the side of the rich and wealthy Trump is out he will always side with the rich and forget the little man on the totem pole.

[Richard E. Nygaard]

I am getting sick and tired of the rich vs poor argument. There is no rich vs poor battle except that perpetrated by the Democratic Socialist Party of America with Pelosi and Reid and Obama at its head. Together they have continued to propound the myth of rich vs the poor. The simple economic reality is that without the rich investing their money in factories, business and other money making endeavors there would be no jobs for the poor except those created by small business owners who indeed are not rich but classed as so by this increasingly stupid administration. So stop with the stupidity about class warfare and get with the program. The rich pay fifty percent of all the taxes in this country anyway so what is your beef? As for Trump, how many people does he employ? How large are his payrolls? Think about it, he is successful in what he does and for my money he should stay right there doing what he does because he is in no way Presidential material.

Sarah Palin is not only Presidential material, she is honest, has integrity and has the cahonas to do the right thing at the right time to the right people. In other words she would put a stop to the routine and would clean up all that falls within her perview. No one can clean up the Congress, not the President, not the Judiciary, no one but We the People. We do that by throwing them out and imposing term limits on all Period.

If you are looking for a Good Conservative Candidate for President, there are plenty around. While I personally have all the respect in the world for a candidate with a strong military background, I favor at the moment my own Governor of the State of Virginia. His name is MacDonald and he is a straight arrow. He needs a couple years of seasoning but is clearly a better choice than the old retreads that are going to come out of the woodwork come next presidential election. And for those of you who are Huckabee fans, I can see it now. If anything and I mean anything can be compromised Huckabee is your man....he is not my man and that is for certain. So indeed let us look to selecting a new strong candidate not only for President but let us stop the Republicans in their tracks by letting them know that the Tea Party is on board and since they cannot select anyone with cahonas, integrity, honesty and willing to follow the Constitution, the Tea Party will put the excitement back in their day and do so for them Period.

Now one last comment on the rich vs wealthy thing. lets stop perpetuating the myth that we need to reduce taxes on everyone but the wealthy. We need to change the entire tax structure and tax everyone fairly. But we do not need to increase taxes, we need to reduce spending especially for pork and bribery of the politicians. Remember we cannot tax ourselves into prosperity, we can only tax ourselves into poverty....look at Odumbos health care if you need an example.

If we are smart enough to see what this government is doing, then you know Trump is. He has not been active with the tea party or any of our efforts. I want someone who is already in our corner, and already as mad as we are. I think Huckabee is making progress with informing the people, and I also love Alan West. I agree. Sarah would be GREAT, but create a lot of controversy.
If they continue to look as good as they are now,, West and Rubio would be a great pair, and surely have most of the bases covered.

[James D. Burke]

Why not Rubio and Palin? Looks good to me.

[Katy]

How about Col Terry Lakin and Col Alan West? Palin for chairman

[Gary Swartz]

There was a post, (I can't find it now. Might have been on another site.) that stated Rubios' parents were not citizens when he was born. That would make him ineligible.
