Possible Candidates for a Conservative Leadership

Good place to start. Thanks.

.....I would add Sarah Paulin Alaska and Tom Inhofe Okla ...

.....Paulin has filed suit to challenge the Polar Bear status and Inhofe has called Global Warming a hoax ...my kind of people .....COLOSSUS

Interesting!
Could you perhaps tell us some more about them, what their records are, what kind of leadership they exhibit?
We not only are looking for Presidential candidates, but as your comment title suggests, potential leaders in the conservative movement.
Thanks!

I have long considered Dr. Thomas Sowell and Dr. Walter Williams to be among the very best potential presidential candidates conservatives and libertarians could possibly consider. I saw Dr. Sowell utterly destroy liberal debaters on tv many years ago during a Public Television series concerning economic theories and their consequences. It was such a massive slaughter that I almost felt sorry for the poor confused liberals. Obama and Clinton would quickly go down in flames to oblivian were they to attempt to debate him on any subject whatsoever on which they disagree. I'm sure Dr. Walter Williams could do much the same thing but without the booming voice with which to nail shut their coffins.

I, too, am an admirer of Dr. Sowell and, to a somewhat lesser extent, of Dr. Williams.

A slate with either of them on it could be qutie interesting--age issues aside (at least for Dr. Sowell).

I think that for 2008, the Libertarian Party is a good bet. The collapse of the GOP is not a long-shot any more. They have rebranded themselves as "liberalism-lite," and that simply won't "sell." Why go "lite" and vote for a damaged "R" brand, when you can get the real thing by voting "D"?

Any thoughts you might have on the LP or any of the other Third Party candidates would be warmly appreciated, of course!

Thanks!

Both of them have on numerous occasions stated that they will never consider running for political office for the reason that they are philosophers, not administrators.

That said, they stand as the preeminent philosophers of the conservative and libertarian movements, the wise old men who guide us through the tangles of what we are trying to accomplish.

They define, analyze, and provide real-life applications of conservative and libertarian principles, much as Ben Franklin and Thomas Paine did in the American Revolution.

The politicians we want are those who listen and learn from these two philosophers.
