Who among the potential GOP candidates is, in your opinion?
The overwhelming majority of our Federal government (with the exception of the SCOTUS) is made up of self-serving appeasers whose sole purpose in life is staying in power. They are owned by those who supply them with the funds to stay in power.
All those people are slaves to the powers that put them in power, and driven by greed, not duty. There's a significant number of simply abysmally stupid people that keep getting re-elected by abysmally stupid people, and they will act as contrarians to anyone in power not in their party. Truth means very little to those people.
So you can scratch anyone already in DC.
Overall as a nation, we have been so dumbed down and divided that no one will be able to lead the people effectively, at least no one that I see anywhere in the political horizon, because of our disunity.
So, if the question is "who can lead this current Congress and this people into the kind of a war that
we're going to have to wage in order to defeat Islamofascism and save our flawed culture?" Then the answer is no one.
If the question however is changed to "who will be able to lead this Congress and this people into the kind of war that
we will be forced to wage once ISIS (or any ISIS-like group) begins their military campaign on US soil?" Then the answer is damned near anyone.
Right now (this comes as a complete surprise to me) I think that I will support Rick Perry, just because I think he's the individual most likely to act without giving a s#it about what Congress does or thinks.
Someone like that can wield real power.
Obama taught me that.
