Thune in 2012?

[pbrower2a]

Hmm, a Bush-loyalist evangelical fundamentalist warmonger from South Dakota? Sure sounds like a recipe for success...

So can anyone please elaborate on how Thune is "not a nutjob"?

Not a nutjob, but simply holding beliefs that economic reality and rational science discredit.

I can almost see the negative ads forming in my mind: "John Thune believes in....

(right wingtalking point , trombone glissando, his image morphing into George W. Bush)

... just like George W. Bush!

Or has any credibility whatsoever on fiscal issues.

I really don't get these people who like to promote career politicians for God knows what reason. I mean what makes someone like Thune stand out?

I care about finding candidates who will do what is best for the country, not whether so-and-so politician has been grooming himself for the presidency since he took office. I don't care about his career or his chances of winning.

So again, why is this Bush mentee getting attention as some sort of GOP savior for 2012? This is a guy who claimed he had to support the Iraq war because he was told to by his god.

I really feel like Thune will run in 2012. He use his conservative principles, values and he can relate to people as a "regular guy".

I think he may run. Anyone else?

He should be voting smarter....

How can anyone oppose any measure that can protect people from rape on the job? Rape is not an inherent part of any job description except in prostitution.

Employers -- especially government contractors --  have a reasonable responsibility to deter rape with reasonable policies. Rape is not a fringe benefit for male employees, and certainly no responsibility for female employees.

Stupidity is a bad idea in partisan politics.
