John Bolton will never get the nomination

[Ter]

Some people are actually worried about this guy in 2012? He can't win the nomination for three very important reasons.

1) He has a mustache. The last person to get a major party's nomination was Tom Dewey in 1948. The last one to win was William Howard Taft in 1908. 2012 will mark 104 years. It ain't gonna happen.

2) No only is he a neo-con, but he is an open globalists. Tea Baggers DESPISE him. Some Freepers may like him, but they are left-over neo-cons, and not the future of the party.

3) He's Jewish. A Jew winning the republican nomination nationwide? No.

1. Teabaggers are not of one mind on foreign policy

You have the neo-con globalist/trimuphalists like Jim DeMint and the isolationists like Rand and Ron Paul.

2. DeMint isn't a neo-con

After Rand Paul and Mike Lee, he's the third most conservative. Not exactly a paleo-con (Pat Buchanan) or paleo-libertarian (Ron Paul), but he is no neo-con globalist either. He is not nearly as pro war as the Kristal/Bush/Cheney crowd.

3. I think Yosemite Sam's bucking for a Cabinet post.

So he's trying to get his name in lights. He'll bow out because he's so abrasive that even the Rethugs won't accept him, but he'll get himself further up the food chain.

Let's hope we don't see John Bolton, Secretary of State... :scared:

4. He will never beat Palin. You are also right about the mustache! nt
