(29 posts)Hutchinson is not pro-life..she says that she is choice,which is a code
word for abortion. She is not for choice when it comes to education
What is your "dream ticket?"

Mary Kochan - President - 2008We're likely to need name recognition for the Veep seat, but no one of the prodigious caliber of the lady leading the ticket comes to mind. Remember, I love you, too Through Christ, with Christ, in Christ, Pristinus Sapienter (wljewell @catholicexchange.com or ... yahoo.com)
Dream ticket:
Convert Barak Obama to Pro Life and I'd vote him in easily. Since that wont happen, I'd take:
James Caviezel & Ozzie Guillen (If Ozzie can't run due to nationalization issues, I'd alternate Colin Powell or my wife Mrs. Kloss)
GK - God is good!
I will vote for the Pro Life candidate -

It is my hope that Newt Gingrich will become a Republican Presidential candidate. We need a candidate who can stand decisively for the traditional values and principles of the future of the American people. Newt Gingrich has the intellectual gifts and fortitude to lead our country.
Like many Republican conservatives, I don’t feel certain that McCain, Giuliani, and Romney will sincerely champion my traditional values and principles."Barak Obama"I think he is not presidential material. His platform is tenuous and I would not trust him if he were to merely retreat from Federal regulation (facilitation) of abortion as I think he is entirely beholden to the liberal element in the country.
RE:
"Newt"I do not believe he can stage a comeback. The main thing to ask him before voting for him is what does he believe the main qualification for a federal judgeship should be.
RE: electability despite my reservations about Newt, I had intended that this just be a blue-sky venue. If you could put any US citizen in office, who would you select? (My follow-up was going to be, is there anyone on the Canadian scene of comparable stature? Sooner or later there will have to be elections again, )

In your first post you listed: Liberman & RiceLiberman & HUtchinsonWalter Williams & RiceWalter Williams & Hutchinson
In recent years Senators have not won Presidential elections.
…do not believe he (Newt) can stage a comeback.
A comeback will not be easy but it's possible. The mainstream media will oppose Newt Gingrich more vehemently than they opposed John Roberts and Samuel Alito.
The main thing to ask him before voting for him is what does he believe the main qualification for a federal judgeship should be.
This is also an important question for other candidates- Rodham-Clinton, Barack, McCain, Giuliani and Romney, etc. Nevertheless, I feel confident that Newt Gingrich would nominate a US Supreme Court candidate who will support our country’s traditional values and principles especially in regard to protecting the unborn and traditional marriage.
despite my reservations about Newt, I had intended that this just be a blue-sky venue. If you could put any US citizen in office, who would you select?
Mary Kochan
Mrs. Kloss
Here is where I'm sorely lacking in knowledge.
What does anyone know/think about Sen. Brownback?
All I know is one person that used to work on his team some years ago.
"What does anyone know/think about Sen. Brownback?"I think he is pro-life. If it is possible to generate a base, perhaps through an internet campaign, the missing name recognition might be generated.

"The question could be asked of those candidates but why would anyone believe the answer they gave? Who killed Vince Foster? Why? How can anyone profit on the Mercantile Exchange the way Hillary did? If it was her own expertise how is it that she didn't continue the investments to bail out the debt they had? Giuliani has an anti-life history, Romney is not consistent in his values positions, McCain is not pro-life but I suppose we could expect him to make reasonable nominations. Gotta run.The main thing to ask him before voting for him is what does he believe the main qualification for a federal judgeship should be.This is also an important question for other candidates- Rodham-Clinton, Barack, McCain, Giuliani and Romney, etc."

What about governor Richardson from New Mexico?
Anyone know his stance on abortion?
It is interesting that Gov Bill Richardson, NM, a Democrat, plans to announce his candidacy for President. The mainstream news media doesn’t give much information about Gov. Richardson. At this time only Hilary and Obama are getting a lot of media coverage.
I support Presidential candidate Sen. Sam Brownback because I feel that he will stand firm in his pro-life convictions.- Regards,

Newt Gingrich spoke with Dr. James Dobson - Focus on the Family online audio of March 9 Growing Threat of Radical Islam. In the second half of the talk, Gingrich talks about falling short of his moral standards in the past that disappointed his supporters. (I wish I could provide the online link to the talk.)
What news Old Sigma?
Here's the link to what AlvinaL was talking about:

Mary, thanks for the link. I was attempting the high-tech way to hide the link.
PS, I agree with your comments. Newt didn’t express sincere remorse in the audio. It serves as a prime example that our wrongdoing (sin) affects us, our family, community and nation.
What a shame. It’s too bad that a gifted, articulate man removes himself as possible presidential candidate. Gingrich could debate a Democratic “elitist candidate”. (The elitist theory is clear in the basic point that a minority, rather than the masses, controls things.)
His book, Rediscovering God in America: Reflect on the Role of Faith in Our Nation’s History and Future, is encouraging at a time when adversary groups threaten to remove God from public places.
Gingrich has positive ideas to keep citizens from becoming enslaved to government.
RE: "What news Old Sigma? Here's the link to what AlvinaL was talking about: http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=54617"That seems to be the story

Old Sigma,
Thank you for the link. It’s helpful to read the text.
It will be interesting if Newt Gingrich formally announces his candidacy for President. We’ll need a new thread for further discussion. Meanwhile other Republican candidates will have the opportunity to gain momentum in their campaign.
Have a wonderfully blessed day.
I met Senator Brownback in Washington DC at the Blogs for Life Conference, and posted on our meeting on my blog http://causa-nostrae-laetitiae.blogspot.com . He impressed me as completely committed to being a pro-life leader, and a leader on other unpopular issues as well, such as international human trafficking. He has reached accross the aisle to Ted Kennedy of all people to jointly sponsor a bill giving women who were pregnant with handicapped babies the full information about their child's condition, and future prospects. As the mother of a 5 year old with Down Syndrome, I can't believe this bill was defeated!
In short, Sam Brownback takes his newfound Catholicism seriously. (he converted in 2002 after reading Mother Teresa and John Paul II's writings as he recommended them for the Congressional Medal of Honor)
He stands where the Church stands on immigration(keep the borders secure, provide illegals a path for legalization) for example, though some conservatives won't vote for him because of that. I will!
My dream team is Brownback-Huckabee!
RE: "Thompson"I think he is an opportunist much in the same mold as "Slick Willie", just from the opposite side of the aisle. Research on his voting record and what stances he took on important issues (such as what characteristics would he look for in a judge), before he stepped forward as a possible contender, is critical.

What about Geb bush for president ( some good name recognition there and he has been a pretty fair gov here in florida)
For VP I say any consevative catholic bishop would be a wonderful choice ( while we are dreaming and all).
