Tim Pawlenty in 2012

[mriddick]

Whats your opinion of the guy, any negatives or positives you want to share? I keep hearing he's going to run, whats your opinion on the guy?

[CigarGuy]

I'm thinking, too, that the best Conservative candidates for 2012 will be Governors/ex-Governors? Pawlenty, Daniels, sadly too soon for the RIGHT Bush......
Let's hear it, Minnesota? How do "you" people elect Pawlenty AND Franken? ;)

Pawlenty was okay. Would I vote for him? Yes.

As for Franken AND Dayton, simply voter fraud in two big counties.

Affirmative election actions by Democrats.

Timmy is a R.I.N.O. and a tool there is no way I would vote for gov greenjeans, he supports ethanol with subsidies and look at the "state" of minnesota and ask yourself did he do all that he could have? I say hell NO.

Both state houses were controlled by the socialists but he could and should have done better taxes suck, the nannystate is alive and well, we import welfare recipients and export what few jobs we have left, the thought of him being P.O.T.U.S. will give me nightmares thanks but NO THANKS.

:pissin-chipmunk: T Pawlenty

Keyes, Paul, Huckabee, Jindal, Palin, in that order all are heads and shoulders over Pawlenty in my book.

Of all those I think Jindal would have the best chance in the general election- he's the least controversial and conservative enough. He also has been screwed by DC Democrats pretty much from the moment he took office so he knows what's he's dealing with.

We don't need Pawlenty, truthfully we don't even need another Reagan- we need someone who will fight Democrats and not cut deals with them. The truth is that now the biggest enemy to the traditional American way of life is right here at home.

This A-hole is going to hand the Great Zero a huge victory !

Huckabee is about the same IMO, the rest of them head and shoulders above Pawlenty and Huckabee

Nobody is perfect, the order I placed them in is just based on my bias and how much I agree with each of them on the major positions. I sould live with any of them but Keyes is still my first choice. At least you can bet he would salute the flag, not bow to tin horn dictators or be afraid of what his priest might say on TV that would be embarrassing.

Huckabee is a No-go, he pardoned too many prisoners ... so that they can kill again ( and they did kill again).

Jindal is a newcomer, and is still being tested.

I'm for Keyes, Palin, and Paul.

Something tells me that the Other POS (Romney) is going to led

the GOP to disaster !

The Tea Party should make it their mission for 2012 to sink Romney- they should start now.

[old Grump]

Huckabee didn't vet the pardons, his staff did that. He just signed the papers in front of him. No Executive is going to be able to read all the files on that kind of business or nothing else would ever get done. That is why there was a committee to do that for him. You are blaming the wrong horse.

Signing blindly isn't what I want to vote for as DC is already filled with them.

[mriddick]

Yeah claiming ignorance isn't what I'd call Presidential. Then you have his statements on illegals mixing religion with us "accepting" them.

[matshock]

Like I said- Jindal is the least controversial. I also don't subscribe to someone needing a long record of holding elected office in order to be an effective President.

Huckabee needs to man up on crime but beyond that he's more acceptable than Zero in a general election.

[old Grump]

Dumond's innocence was championed in Arkansas by Jay Cole, a Baptist minister, radio host and friend of the Huckabee family. It was also a cause for New York Post columnist Steve Dunleavy, who repeatedly argued for Dumond's release, calling his conviction "a travesty of justice." On Sept. 21, 1999, Dunleavy wrote a column headlined "Clinton's Biggest Crime - Left Innocent Man In Jail For 14 Years":

The parole board made the recommendation he signed their letter approving it. He made a mistake with bad consequences but still how much of his time does he have to investigate every case. He had a state to run.

Last man that didn't make a mistake got nailed to the cross.

How 'bout Mitch Daniels, our Indiana brothers........?

How 'bout Mitch Daniels, our Indiana brothers........?

He has been brought up in a similar thread already, I'll try and find it...

*edit*
Here is the thread, he seemed to get very little interest although that also means he didn't get many negatives :)

Thanks for the link.......
Probably still a little too "unknown"?
Did I hear that Newt was ramping it up?

[Warhog01]

Screw Newt he sat there with piglosi and pushed global warming, climate change or whatever they fu#%*&^ you want to call it, I call it a scam.

I'm with you there.. Keyes would be great. How about a Keyes Palin ticket? That's something I could actually get excited about as a Republican.

I wouldn't have a problem with Keyes. I've voted for him in the past. Palin has too much dirt clinging to her at the moment and she is best suited as a messenger or "John-the-Baptist" if you will for the time being. I like Jindal too. As of this moment he has more experience than Zero had when the media created him. Ron Paul is my ideal candidate, but he's unelectable. The Repugnican party and the leftists are afraid of him because they know he's upset their apple carts.

The more I here and see Allen West, the more I like him. He I think is electable.

Hopefully the the repugnican retread line up of usual suspects crash and burn early.

In the last election (Senate) Keyes ran against obama he lost by 43 points, that's 70 to 27... Talk about an underdog he's the record holder (seriously that margin of victory holds the record in the history of Senate races).
