There is no Republican candidate to date that makes my blood run-even slightly! I look at the field of candidates and see…nothing! Is this the best Conservative America has to offer? With a population in excess of 300 million people, what’s this, leftovers? Every Republican candidate has something wrong with them. If it isn’t immorality, it’s the wrong faith! Can they run on looks, supposed brilliance, political savvy, and leadership abilities? Of all current Republican candidates, only one has the best credentials, and that’s Mitt Romney. Oh, you could argue for Guiliani, but what’s New York City? Anyway! We are talking about the governance of an entire country here!
What has triggered this post can be clearly seen in one potential candidate that was presented as a possible contender. And: I like this guy myself. He’s conservative, serious minded and has proven himself beneficial to America in times past. Here’s what one newspaper had to say about someone of interest to me; and other real conservatives.
Run, Fred, Run

“Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson is by all accounts doing extremely well in yet another phase of his career: a regular TV gig on Law and Order, and an ABC radio gig subbing for Paul Harvey. Thompson chose not to seek a third term in the Senate back in 2002, but his combination of star power, common-sense approach to policy and issues, and gravitas has placed him -- along with Jeb Bush -- on a conservative wish list for those not happy with the current crop of Republican presidential candidates in 2008…Thompson in fact was a successful prosecutor as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, and his work during Watergate and the Clinton impeachment was highly regarded, but Thompson clearly represents the kind of candidate that threatens the left: likable, solidly conservative, and perhaps most important, electable.”
So; who’s really running? McCain; bitter adulterous has been. Romney, Mormon President; hardly! Here are the Republican candidates that have entered the presidential race so far. Now; read their names, find out what they stand for and then do a personal background for the skeletons. Then tell me which one of these has always taken the high moral ground? The one who has been the most consistent? Like I said, nothing in this race so far has even remotely moved me! If this is the best we can do…?
