What evidence do you have that even suggests Ridge, Jindal and Crist were ever "too liberal" to attract the conservative base?

Let's start with - Tom Ridge, the same one who was Bush's first Director of Homeland Security right? Yeah, there's a hard core lib right there. You think there may be another reason McCain didn't have a Bush Administration Appointee as his running mate? With the climate of 2008, it doesn't take a brain surgeon on this one. :roll:

As to Bobby Jindal, the only one who publicly speculated as to him being a running mate of McCain was Rush Limbaugh - and it was because he would identify with the Conservative base. Yeah, anyone who Rush Limbaugh puts out there must be far too liberal for the base. :roll: Beyond that, Jindal himself specifically said he "never talked to the senator [McCain] about the vice presidency or his thoughts on selecting the vice president."

As to Charlie Crist, I'm curious as to what you can point to in Crist's record that was liberal? His support of Capital Punishment, his attempts to ban gay marriage. Maybe it was his A+ rating from the National Rifle Association.

There is only one person who was "too liberal" for the conservative base in the last election. It was John McCain.

hey dennis i dont have anythign going on out there i do have a partner friend if you who is a wholesaler out that way and could put you in contact with shoot me an email and ya number,let me know exactly what you are looking for so i could help you out man

Kudos sir, it's pretty nice. The most important things to me were the additional forums to better target people.

Look and feel is good. I thought I was going to hate it at first, by the time I scrolled through the first time I was impressed.

The "look and feel" and hovering, colors I know you'll get it right. Conceptionally it is awesome.

McCain wanted to pick Joe Lieberman as his running mate.

absolutely it makes sense J.Scott.....

man, this is great info.

this house i'm talking about then gives me $430 cash flow with equity captured of realistically (since i do know the house across the street sold for $135K and it's pretty much the same as mine) of $40K ($90K + $5K rehab) still i'll need to factor in agent fees/closing costs.

when do i tell myself that i'm killing the goose that's laying the golden egg? (the golden egg being the cash flow)

my thinking is if i have that type of equity captured today, then wait 5 years and sell it then. i'll need to consider a make ready though (or intermittent make readies if i go thru several tenants in the meantime).

still i'll take these kinds of issues versus working everyday and pouring $$ aimlessly in a 401k and Roth IRA and hoping "it'll be there"when i retire.

this discussion is telling me i'm taking the right approach by taking more control of my money as it leaves my pocket.

every post that i've read by ya'll has made so much sense.
