Haley Barbour vs Obama in 2012 Presidential Election

vs.

The 61-year-old Barbour has had many incarnations: director of the Mississippi census at the age of 22, lawyer in the family law practice, failed Senate candidate, Reagan White House official. Now, after a successful lobbying stint at the BGR Group—started as Barbour, Griffith, and Rogers—and with a respected record as governor, Barbour is back on the Hill. He testifies on cap-and-trade legislation and chats about Russia with Sean Hannity. He rides the airwaves slamming the Obama administration’s spending habits, casting them exactly as he did the Clinton economic package in 1993—Obama, like Clinton, could “charm the skin off a snake.”

All of which prompts conservatives to cry, Haley’s comet is streaking! He’s a strong voice in a leaderless party, and as leading 2012 contenders self-destruct, flirt with fringe theories, and attack one another, there sits Mr. Fix-It, now a successful elected executive, conveniently term-limited in 2011. Even opponents are impressed, or at least they say they are. “He’s an unusual combination of someone who’s really good on policy, really good on politics, and really good on TV,” says Democratic lobbyist Anthony Podesta. “And everybody likes him.”

Here’s the problem. Over three decades in politics, Barbour may have accumulated too much baggage to withstand the scrutiny of a presidential campaign. Besides, he is way too good a vice presidential candidate to waste at the top of the ticket.

If Harry “stinky” Reid was a republican, would dems be calling for him to resign for his racists comments?

Obama Hood – Spread the Wealth asked:


Democrats on Sunday defended Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for his private remarks during the 2008 campaign describing then-Sen. Barack Obama as “light skinned” and “with no Negro dialect.”

Something similar happened to Trent Lott and you called for him to resign. Why the double standard?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100111/ap_on_go_co/us_obama_reid_32

Trent Lott’s:

Lott had cheered the 1948 presidential campaign of Strom Thurmond — a segregationist Democrat opposing President Harry Truman — during a 100th birthday tribute to Thurmond, by then a longtime Republican senator.

Lott, R-Miss., eventually apologized but resigned nearly two weeks later after a growing number of Republicans questioned his effectiveness, especially after he told Black Entertainment Television he supported affirmative action, no longer opposed the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, and would back programs aimed at minorities. He resigned from the Senate in 2007.

So why can Democrats make racist remarks and be forgiven but Republican’s cannot? Can someone explain this to me?

Sarah Palin wanted book about homosexuality removed from Wasilla library. What do you think about that?

Arthur Quick asked:


Ex campaign manager for Palin’s first run for mayor, Laura Chase, and former mayor of Wasilla, John Stein, says Palin wanted book removed.

excerpt from New York Times-article:

“But in 1995, Ms. Palin, then a city councilwoman, told colleagues that she had noticed the book “Daddy’s Roommate” on the shelves and that it did not belong there, according to Ms. Chase and Mr. Stein. Ms. Chase read the book, which helps children understand homosexuality, and said it was inoffensive; she suggested that Ms. Palin read it.

“Sarah said she didn’t need to read that stuff,” Ms. Chase said. “It was disturbing that someone would be willing to remove a book from the library and she didn’t even read it.”

second excerpt about when she was mayor of Wasilla:

Witnesses and contemporary news accounts say Ms. Palin asked the librarian about removing books from the shelves. The McCain-Palin presidential campaign says Ms. Palin never advocated censorship.”

No Obama 2012

Can Mitt Romney re-enter the Republican presidential nomination race?

SoCal Dude asked:


Let’s suppose that either…

1. The new accusations regarding John McCain and a female lobbyist cause his Presidential campaign to nosedive, or

2. McCain ends his Presidential campaign for whatever reason (health issues, scandal, etc.)

Can Mitt Romney jump back into the race? From what I recall, he technically “suspended” his campaign.

What would happen to McCain’s delegates if McCain ended his campaign?

If McCain did not end his campaign, could his delegates bail on him?

Mark Sanford

Clement Mark Sanford is a politician who belongs to the Republican Party. He is Governor of South Carolina and has been since 2003. He was in the gubernatorial vote of 2002. He first overcame in the Republican primary Lt. Gov. Bob Peeler and then went on to defeat the Democratic member, Jim Hodges, in the common vote, by an edge of 53% to turn out to be the 115th Governor of the state of South Carolina. In agreement with South Carolina regulation, Sanford was chosen independently from the state’s Republican deputy governor, Andre Bauer.
In 2006, previous to the midterm ballot, a number of people discussed the option of Mark Sanford running for President. He claimed not to run in it, and said that his re-election attempt would be his last ballot whether he won or lost. In 2008, subsequent to Super Tuesday, Governor Mark Sanford got some mention as a possible mate for John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential candidate. Mark Sanford openly allied with McCain in a piece in the Wall Street Journal on March 15, 2008.  Hr likened the presidential contest to a football game at halftime by saying that he had sat out the primary half, not supporting a candidate but now that he had stepped onto the ground and was going to exert to assist John McCain, it was vital that Conservative Party does the same.
Mark Sanford, for the presidential campaign against Obama in 2012, professes to be a definite follower of smaller governments, and many experts have portrayed his vision as being liberal in temperament. Most lately, he has gone on board on a determined preparation to modify means of backing the state’s community schooling organizations. This would comprise of processes such as school coupons that intend towards initiating more friendly competition into the education arrangement as a way to foster development. Mark Sanford’s plan would also permit more alternatives for parents who desire for their family to be educated in an independent or religious situation, therefore creating easier admission at doing so. This plan is known as “Put Parents in Charge,” and will offer about $2,500 per child to parents who choose to remove their children from the state’s community school organization and as an alternative send them to independent schools. Mark Sanford has outlined this plan as an essential market based improvement.
Recently, the state of South Carolina’s Governor Mark Sanford has been going on rounds in the media about which course the Republican Party requires to follow for expansion and values sake. He promises to battle and assist Constitutional adherence, to defend the free markets, and guard strong family principles. According to The Associated Press, South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford was elected the new Chair of the Republican Governors Association. For 2012, just like another prospective President libertarian beloved, Mark Sanford enjoys the campaigning. And against Obama, in 2012, he has a lot of chances if he selects a proper campaigning strategy and keeps his current rate of increase in ranks within the Republican Party.

Vote for Sanford in the 2012 Poll to be the next Republican candidate for President!

Bobby Jindal

Piyush Bobby Jindal is the present governor of Louisiana. He is a candidate for the Republican Party. Before his appointment as governor, he was an affiliate with the United States House of Representatives from the state of Louisiana’s 1st congressional region, to which he was designated in 2004 to follow present U.S. Senator David Vitter. He was re-nominated to Congress in the 2006 election where he got 88 percent of the ballot.
Bobby Jindal was selected governor of Louisiana on October 20, 2007. He won a four-way competition and got 54% of the ballot. Bobby Jindal became the youngest existing governor in the United States at the age of 32. He also turned out to be the first non-white to act as governor of Louisiana ever since P. B. S. Pinchbeck for the period of Reconstruction, the initial non-white chosen governor of the state, and the original Indian American voted to state-wide organization in the history of the U.S.
Republicans are already discussing about who their presidential candidate in 2012 will be. As accepted, they are talking about Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin as potential candidates. However, Bobby Jindal may be a powerful candidate as he is a fresh face to emerge in the Republican Party.
Bobby  Jindal  has  by  now  been  questioned  by  the media on running  for  President in  2012  from the time when Senator John McCain was defeated. His reply was that campaigning for President in 2012 was not even considered by him and his team. He faces a Congress re-election in 2012 and that is his primary aim as of now. Whether or not he discusses the situation, there is no escape from his current rising star eminence. He is current post election choice of many traditional critics, constantly portrayed as such on the major networks and papers. Jindal would bring an affluence of familiarity and knowledge to a presidential campaign. He is known for his methodical ways to accomplish his goals. He proposes a directly self-assured agenda, and he executes it.
For his 2012 campaign, Bobby Jindal has the opportunity to run against President Obama using his total belief in the pro-life issues. He ardently opposes abortion with no exceptions. He does not denounce remedial practices meant to save the life of an expectant woman that would ultimately cause the cessation of the pregnancy. Embryonic stem cell research is also opposed by him, as is same sex marriage for which he has voted positively on a constitutional amendment. He supports the patriot act and does not denounce it as an instrument to convert the nation into a police state. Medicaid also enjoys his support especially in the co payment issues. Bobby Jindal has also chosen against letting the federal government authority to assist local law forces with hatred brutality based on gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, and disability.
In 2012, Bobby Jindal may have his chance at the presidential campaigns though his aim is 2016. Whether he succeeds or not depends on his actions and the experience he gains in the upcoming years.
