Potential (Sane) Candidate(s) for GOP in 2012

[AlBell]

Krauthammer recently mentioned 'draft Paul Ryan'.

ps. I apologise if Ryan was brought up previously in this thread.

Kind of interesting that they don't like the Republican, they loved his Democratic predecessor. But then again, they're not "partisan" so much as "obsessed about a single issue".

And, honestly, the NRA is supposed to be exactly that.

Excuse me, but if you look again at the topic line on this thread, it says "sane" candidtates.

 

[BenBurch]

"daft Paul Ryan"? Sounds about right to me.

And you make a fine candidate for being the one to decide who is or is not "sane".

Idiot boy Ryan is still trying to tell us that piddle-down ecconomics is the route to prosperity. How sane is it to go down the same rabbit hole and expect it to be the addit of a gold mine this time?

I already did. Piddle down doesn't work. It transfers wealth onlly in one direction, and that is upward.

Anything that causes any redistribution of wealth art the lower levels, any stimulus or regulation that allows workers to eventually own their own businesses, opens up possibilities for working people to advance.

When corporations are allowed to pay less than a living wage, expect small businesses to starve.

Not any more.

ETA: But I don't believe Trump ever was a viable candidate either.

Or sane.

As they say, in the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

Romney and Huckabee only seem sane and moderate by contrast to the raving lunatics that form the rest of the field.

ETA: Not-as-nutty-as-Trump is an exceptionally low standard!

Totally correct Joe but on the sliding scale of lunacy I put the MittBot ahead of the Huckster. Saw Huckleberry on the Daily Show going on with his endorsment of David Barton as Americas greatest historian.
Havent seen Mitty sink to that level yet.

Isn't there a debate in 4 days?

I don't disagree with your assessment. Indeed my comment is on the very fact that it seems acceptable (or at least unavoidable) to evaluate potential presidential candidates on a sliding scale of lunacy rather than on an objective standard of competence!

Howzabout New Jersey's governor, Chris Christie?

Christie would be awesome, but doesn't seem to want to run.
