In a perfect world, who should be the leader of a sane Republican Party?

[LLStarks]

Collin Powell? Chuck Hagel? Ron Paul?

[tridim]

1. Ron Paul, hehe

:rofl:

[LLStarks]

2. If you give the man an hour to speak, he eventually makes sense.

[tridim]

4. He's a complete idiot. nt

[Ikonoklast]

15. If you gave him an hour to speak

you'd figure out that he's batshit insane and has no real idea how a modern economy works.

3. In a perfect world the GOP doesnt exist

[LLStarks]

5. Perhaps, but one party rule sounds quite undemocratic...

[DJ13]

8. No, I meant a sane party would be there in their place

[Burma Jones]

6. Bill Clinton......

[rucky]

25. I'm glad you said it.

I was just thinking it.

[Taverner]

7. A taxophobe, and nothing less

Taxophobes make some valid arguments occasionally

But any other GOP argument falls falt

[HopeHoops]

9. "GOP" and "sane" are no longer compatible words.

The GOP is dominated by fascists. There is no sanity involved. Powell is kidding himself if he thinks the party still has hope. They are entrenched in fascism with FOX leading the charge.

On the plus side, the "GOP BASE" is mostly overweight fundamentalists who can't do much more than bring tea bags to an outdoor BBQ. (No offense to people with a few extra pounds, but I think that is a fair observation of the "base").

11. Joe the plumber

12. Goldwater....n/t

[Hippo_Tron]

13. Arnie Vinick

[Chemisse]

14. They should be begging Colin Powell to lead them to reason

[rurallib]

16. Not sure any one currently in that party would qualify

I can't think of anyone even at our state level that isn't kowtowing to the narrow leadership.

[Uncle Joe]

17. Howard Baker. n/t

[leftofthedial]

18. Richard Nixon

[Fuzz]

19. Don't care.

;)

[FSogol]

20. Warren Rudman, John Warner, or Richard Lugar?

:shrug:

Not bad people, but didn't speak up during the abuses and crimes of their party during Reagan, Bush, and Bush.

[damntexdem]

21. Some county official in rural Alabama.

Who'd be its only elected official in the country.

;-)

[AlinPA]

22. Jerry Falwell.

[Mme. Defarge]

23. Isn't it obvious

that the current leader of the Republican party is Dick Cheney? Good grief, the guy's running for president already -- wants his old job back.

[Mike 03]

24. Not Ron Paul.

Collin Powell or Chuck Hagel I could accept.

I used to really like a guy named Warren Rudman. At one time, when I was fresh out of college, I thought he was actually a Republican I could stand to vote for. Unfortunately, during the last leg of the Obama/McCain competition, he turned to shit (to be blunt). He accused Obama of relying on fake voters to support his run for Presidency.

He lost every bit of respect I had for him.

It's sad, because he actually, at one time, was a good man.

Sucks when that happens.

Fuck you, Warren Rudman.

[mitchum]

26. Lincoln?

[Libertyfirst]

27. Former Governor McKean of New Jersey. n/t

[spanone]

28. sane republican party? new millenia oxymoron

[BuyingThyme]

29. Hillary Clinton.

[New Dawn]

30. In a perfect world, the GOP would not even exist.

So, naturally, there would be no leader.

Son of William F. Buckley, Jr. and patron saint of the Republican Party, therefore heir to the title.
