Haley is running!

If J had to pick a woman who I would love to see as President I would pick Haley, maybe Condoleeza Rice, or perhaps Sarah Huckabee Sanders.  

Marsha Blackburn would be another good one IMO.  

What do you think about those picks?  

Next question, what chance do you think any of those Repub women, would stand a chance against the leftist press? 

Do you think Chuck Todd would be on board with any of them or do you think that they wouldn't spend any amount over at NBC News to make sure that ANY Repub woman doesn't get elected?  

How about Margaret Brennan who hosts Face the Nation every Sunday?  Do you think her staff over there isn't working night and day 24/7 to destroy Nicki Haley, while simultaneously Hoping beyond hope that Michelle Obama runs.  

But not to worry, because we in this nation have such wonderful news outlets that work to report on News rather than to push their Democrat candidates above all others.  

We sure do see this on the Sunday Shows and the PBS News hour. 

So objective all the time!   LOL 
Condoleezza Rice would be a dream candidate.  She has said she will not run.  I personally think Haley has more depth as a politician than Sanders.  I do agree that the D press will twist themselves into pretzels to find fault with any female R candidate, all while trying to appear feminist.  That will be entertaining if nothing else.  I think Haley could handle the heat.  I don't know much about the other potential candidates you mentioned.

Does that irritate you, that I answered the question that you asked me?

Perhaps your irritation arises from the fact that you came on here mocking the former President as needing a girdle because he's such a fat bastard, when you are apparently don't appear to be much thinner than he, so I pointed that out.    

If you're going to throw stones, then I suggest you don't live in a glass house.

Anything else you need cleared up?

Oh and no I wouldn't make any comments about your wife the way you did years back about my father attempting to denigrate his character, calling him a racist.  

I wouldn't do that because I don't know your wife and so I would not assume that she's anything but a very nice lady.

So when you come on here whining about my comments and engage in your self-pity party in an attempt to engender sympathy for yourself from others on the forum, I'd suggest that you remember that you've thrown stones at me and my family members whom you don't know.  smile
There is a lot of weirdness about you Richard.  I sure don't understand why you go so far out of your way to insult people.  But one of the weirdest things is the apparent fact that you have never posted a picture of yourself on line.  According to you at least.  BTW I think Jim and Ms. M. make a handsome couple!

71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit

14 have been arrested on drug related charges

8 have been arrested for shoplifting

21 are currently defendants in lawsuits

84 have been arrested for drunk driving

All this in the last year.....

So which do you think it is? NBA or NFL?

Neither..... this is all within the 435 members of Congress.....

Now that is something to ponder LOL

Now I have to wonder how that breaks down by which side of the aisle they sit on.....I have little doubt on both sides but I would bet the pecentage of which would be an interesting figure.
Hi Greg:

I was buying this until "all this in the last year."  It is semi-plausible "for all time" but no way in the last year.  Jim

First and foremost he's a little prick, that's just his nature.

Greg simply posted a joke about Donald Trump and the leftist news outlets, those same News outlets who will find any reason at all to criticize Donald Trump.  

That was all Greg did. 

Then Jim M., that guy you seem to want to defend all the time decided to make that joke personal towards both Me and Greg, with his usual smartass remark, saying "That's the way You guys see him", putting up an image of Donald Trump as Superman, just to be the little snide son of a bitch that IS Jim Moscheck's true nature.  

You see, he did that all on his own, Jim M. did, making sure to try his best to insult both Me and Greg, making the joke personal against Me and Greg.  Nobody prompted him to take the thread in that direction, making it personal as Jim M. did. 

Did you tell him to do that? No, you didn't.  Did James Lacey prompt him to do that?  Not that I know of.  No, Jim M. decided to do that all on his own.  It was HIS decision to do that wasn't it, to make it personal, trying to insult both Me and Greg at the same time.  He's a big boy as far as I know.  He dresses himself every day and makes decisions all on his own doesn't he. 

YOU may not take offense to some piece of crap making insults towards my name "Richard", a name that my Uncle was named, whom I'm named after, a person I happen to be proud to be named after,  but I DO take offense each and every time that son of a bitch Jim M. takes my name and my Uncle's name, that name that my Parents proudly named me, and he personally denigrates My name, with his smartass remarks about My name.

My name may not mean anything to you, but I take any disparaging remark about Me, my name, or any of my family members personally.

Perhaps you should consider that before you jump half cocked getting involved somewhere you don't belong, and where you don't need to be involved.

I wouldn't take your first name "James", nor your Surname "Brown" and mock it or disparage it ever, just because it may not bother you, regardless of whether you would be willing to blow it off, and not take offense.

Most people are proud of their name.  It may be a name that THEY are proud of, and a name of a person THEY were named after.  

And Just because YOU personally don't understand why something that may be seem so inconsequential to you, it doesn't mean it NOT consequential and offensive to another person.

Well you said you didn't understand why I went out of my way to insult him?? 

Hopefully, that makes it crystal clear why I did that. smile 

BTW, if you still don't get it, go read the words of the great song that was made a big hit by a guy whose name is James Croce, who went by the name "Jim" Croce.  

The song is called I Got a Name.  

Then perhaps you'll get it.  wink
Rich, I was talking to you, not Jim M.  I think it is weird that you go out of your way to insult people.  Whether or not Jim M. insults you back or first has nothing to do with my point.  I am not deluded into thinking you care what I think of course.  My ego is not that big!

Playing the race or woman card may not be something you or I find appealing but we are not the target audience.  If Haley is to get the nomination, and if she were to win, she is going to have to attract women voters, non-white voters, the youth, and other demographics that do not apply to you and me.  If she can subtly play race and gender cards then more power to her.  This is Politics after all!  I think she needs to project:

1. Extreme confidence
2. Extreme competence on all issues
3. Toughness.

If she can do that while also letting those who care know that she is a woman of color, then I am thrilled.

Let me put it this way, do you (Greg or Richard or anyone) think Kamala Harris is an unsuitable candidate because she is a black woman, or because you believe her to be incompetent?

Less than a week and already some of the dirt they will throw at Nikki Haley

This is simply the beginning of the next 2 years of sleazy dirt they will throw at the woman.

Let's get one thing clear.  The left has no shame, they have no principles, and they have no reason to stop because this IS their poltics, the politics of sliming anyone whom they don't like.  
Politics is a sleazy business. 

I am glad that Haley is in the race because she is relatively young, intelligent, she has a different life story (and being an Indian woman is part of that) and she appears to be extremely competent and tough.  Who knows how her campaign will turn out?  I am excited to watch it develop, even though I think DeSantis probably has a better chance of getting the R nomination. 

On the other hand, I think Haley has a better chance of beating Biden or Harris in the general election than DeSantis or Trump.  It would be really tough to motivate vast swaths of the D base to vote for grandpa Joe, if he were running against Nikki Haley.  

You and Greg appear to be pure policy voters.  In other words, you'll support the candidate in the primary who's views match yours the best.  There is nothing wrong with that!  I do think other considerations besides pure policy motivate other voters, and all of this becomes electability.
