The current announced crop of 2008 Republican presidential contenders is about as inspiring as Saturday's leftovers for Monday's lunch. John McCain. We've seen that movie. Do we have to watch the sequel? Rudy Giuliani. Great leader, hates terrorists, but farther to the left than a Blue Dog Democrat. Mitt Romney. Where does he stand on the issues today? ............................Tiger will be 40 years old in 2016. The Republican Party should begin grooming him now for a run at the White House. His personal attributes and accomplishments on the golf course point to a candidate who will be a problem solver, not a politician.
The few big potatoes in Congress deserve our recognition and support. In the Senate, they include Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), the lead sponsor of the FairTax, which would replace the income tax code with a national consumption tax. Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) is a passionate advocate for responsible federal spending and protection of our tax dollars. Senator John Sununu (R-NH) is a leading sponsor of legislation to restructure the Social Security program by giving younger workers the option of contributing to personal retirement accounts, similar to the accounts all members of Congress enjoy.
Herman Cain won't be taken seriously as a presidential candidate until he actually gets elected to something. as I see it. It isn't easy to make money selling pizzas, but being a president might require a different skill set.
