President Material

[Awesome!]

Is John Boehner presidential material? Also, curious your thoughts on who would make great presidents? Palin? Condi? Hillary? Weiner? for starters etc.

I think he's far more qualified than Obama, Clinton - and many others.

None of the above. And who is Weiner, Michael Savage?

I could stomach Mitt Romney. Meh, strike that because of his health care baggage.

I haven't seen anything presidential about John Boehner so far. And, because of that, our nation's political machines would probably prefer him as a candidate.

 

[spud_meister]

He'd be better if his name was pronounced phonetically.

 

[niftydrifty]

dude! turn it up!

Boehner?

Is he the vain cry baby we have seen on TV over here? If so, he is a Sarkozy 2.0... which is bad.

 

[UtahBill]

Emotions too close to the surface is an indication of depression...if he was to become president, I would probably get emotional...

actually, from my very remote vantage, i believe that sarkozy actually has a certain (tho misguided) depth that is found lacking in boehner

I like Boehner but not for president
Alan West or someone who thinks like him is who we desperately need to lead us.

that fellow is certifiably crazy
the prefect teabagger candidate

his 'sterling' military career should offer some insights into what one could expect

Intelligent, articulate, driven, self motivated, courageous, successful...nah...he doesnt stand a chance. He challenges people to stand up, take control of their own lives, do for yourselves, and expect a government to promote not provide. Shockingly...many on the left will hate him.

Id vote for him.

Unfortunately too many pathetic crippled pets will see him as mean, oppressive, uncaring...in other words...he wont be their nanny and they will hates him!

If you are talking about his one time interrogation technique of wizzing a bullet past someone's head to get him to talk...I can live with that.

 

[VanceMack]

Id love to see a non-politician enter the fray. A Donald Trump type (not 'the Donald'...but someone from that world). Someone not party affiliated but with a proven track record of success in business. Someone that isnt afraid to tell party officials to kiss his or her ass. Strong, motivated, motivational, driven not by the approval of the people but the success of the country.

Someone like Suze Orman comes to mind. I dont know her personal politics. I dont care about her personal life. I dont expect the president to 'fix' the country but I do expect the president to expect the congress to do their job and to motivate them and hold their feet to the fire when they get wrapped up in their party politics bull****.

evidently the military couldn't.

But if you can use that type of an incident to discredit him then you can ignore his message of requiring the crippled and dependent pets to get off their ass and start providing for themselves.

Tragedy at Ft Hood
by Allen West
11/09/2009

Last Thursday, 13 American Soldiers were killed and another 30 wounded at a horrific mass shooting at US Army installation, Ft Hood Texas. As I watched in horror and then anger I recalled my two years of final service in the Army as a Battalion Commander at Ft Hood.

My wife and two daughters were stunned at the incident having lived on the post in family housing. A military installation, whether it is Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, or Coast Guard, is supposed to be a safe sanctuary for our warriors and their families. It is intended to provide a home whereby our “Band of Brothers and Sisters” can find solace and bond beyond just the foxhole but as family units.

A military installation is supposed to be a place where our warriors train for war, to serve and protect our nation. On Thursday, 5 November 2009 Ft Hood became a part of the battlefield in the war against Islamic totalitarianism and state sponsored terrorism. There may be those who feel threatened by my words and would even recommend they not be uttered. To those individuals I say step aside because now is not the time for cowardice. Our country has become so paralyzed by political correctness that we have allowed a vile and determined enemy to breach what should be the safest place in America, an Army post.

We have become so politically correct that our media is more concerned about the pre-shooting stress on the shooter, Major Nidal Malik Hasan. The misplaced benevolence intending to portray him as a victim is despicable. The fact that there are some who have now created an entire new classification called, “pre-virtual vicarious Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)” is unconscionable.

This is not a “man caused disaster”. It is what it is: an Islamic jihadist attack.We have seen this before in March 2003 when a SGT Hasan of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) threw hand grenades and opened fire into his Commanding Officer’s tent in Kuwait. We have seen the foiled attempt of Albanian Muslims who sought to attack Ft Dix, NJ.

Recently we saw a young convert to Islam named Carlos Bledsoe travel to Yemen, receive terrorist training, and return to gun down two US soldiers at a Little Rock, Arkansas Army recruiting station. We thwarted another Islamic terrorist plot in North Carolina which had US Marine Corps Base, Quantico as a target.

What have we seen done with all these prevalent trends? Nothing.
What we see are leaders paralyzed and refusing to confront the issue, Islamic terrorist infiltration into America, and possibly further into our Armed Services. Instead we have a multiculturalism and diversity syndrome on steroids.

Major Hasan should have never been transferred to Ft Hood. Moreover, he should have been administratively discharged from the Army. His previous statements, poor evaluation reports, and the fact that the FBI had him under investigation for jihadist website posting should have been sufficient proof. However, what we have is a typical liberal approach to find a victim, not the 13 and 30 but rather the poor shooter. A shooter who we hear was a great American, who loved the Army and serving his nation, and CAIR stating that his actions had nothing to do with religious belief.

We know that Major Hasan deliberately planned this episode; he did give away his possessions. He stood atop a table in the confined space of the Soldier Readiness Center shouting “Allahu Akhbar,” the same chant as the 9-11 terrorists and those we fight against overseas in the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters of operation.

No one in leadership seems willing to sound the alarm for the American people. Our Congress should suspend further action on the preposterous and unconstitutional healthcare bill and resolve the issue of “protecting the American people”.

The recent incidents in Dearborn Michigan, Boston Massachusetts, Dallas Texas, and Chicago Illinois should bear witness to the fact that we have an Islamic terrorism issue in America. And don’t have CAIR call me and try to issue a vanilla press statement: they are terrorist apologists, not a civil rights organization.

We have Saudi Arabia funding close to 80% of the mosques in the United States, one right here in South Florida, Pompano Beach. Are we building churches and synagogues in Saudi Arabia? Of course not. Because they aren’t allowed by the Saudi government. So much for peaceful coexistence.

Saudi Arabia is sponsoring radical Imams who enter into our prisons and convert young men into a virulent ideology….one resulting in four individuals wanting to destroy synagogues in New York with plastic explosives. Thank God the explosives were dummy. They are sponsoring textbooks which present Islamic centric revisionist history in our schools.
We must recognize that there is an urgent need to separate the theo-political radical Islamic ideology out of our American society. We must begin to demand surveillance of suspected Imams and mosques that are spreading hate and preaching the overthrow of our Constitutional Republic……that speech is not protected under First Amendment, it is sedition and if done by an American treason.

I make no apologies for these words, and anyone angered by them, please, go to Ft Hood and look into the eyes of the real victims. The tragedy at Ft Hood Texas did not have to happen. Consider now the feelings of those there and on every military installation in the world. Consider the feelings of the Warriors deployed into combat zones who now are concerned that their loved ones at home are in a combat zone.

Ft Hood suffered an Islamic jihadist attack, stop the denial and realize a simple point.

The reality of your enemy must become your own.

Steadfast and Loyal,
Lieutenant Colonel Allen B West (US Army, Ret)

please run him as your crazy candidate, teabaggers

Your use of "pathetic crippled pets", please identify those people. How are they pathetic, or crippled, or pets? Are you including all those children at the many children's hospitals in the USA? They are crippled, for sure....
Maybe you could find another derogatory term to use?
I use "able but unwilling to work"....it describes my brother, he lives (barely subsists) off the govt veterans disability teat, and yet he votes republican...he is living proof that LAZY is a disability....

Weve done this before-we can do it again if you like. I refer to the people too lazy to provide for themselves, too lacking in integrity to get off their ass and do for themselves...those that are only too willing to allow others to label them incompetent or 'disabled.' Cripppled dependent pets are far worse than those truly disabled. I dont refer to disabled folks as 'crippled,' nor dependent pets. I DO reserve that for the voting class that democrats rely on to keep them in power.

Irony alert...how many times have liberals cited Saudi Arabia's support for terrorism or the fact that the majority of terrorists on 9-11 came from Saudi Arabia...

Of the scammers and schemers I know personally, they tend to vote republican. They can't see THEIR actions as wrong, only the actions of others. Just within my own family I have 2 siblings who take undue advantage of funds that should be designated for the truly needy. In my SIL and DIL families, there are 5 bankruptcies in as many years, and they vote GOP.
OF course, they vote GOP because of issues like gun control, abortion, and gay marriage....
