| 8. in this country, the voters don't pick the candidates |
|
that happens in smoke filled rooms with party leadership. And the Republicans of today won't pick a candidate for the people. They have too many secrets to keep. They will pick the crookedest, most compromised one. The one who is surest to go along with their criminal plans without raising a fuss. IMO that's Rudy, but I could be wrong about that. Any one of those guys except Ron Paul is crooked enough to be a Republican president.

Mitt has cleverly condemned the "amnesty" bill--he ain't stupid. |
