“My Dinner with Savage:” Michael Savage had to bow out of the third hour of his Friday show to have dinner with a potential POTUS candidate. He refused to divulge any details, save for the fact that (s)he will likely be a major contender for the top job in 2010. Any speculation as to who the mystery person was? His low opinion of Palin rules her out. Pawlenty? Name recognition among possible GOP candidates falls quickly after those two (I doubt Jindal will run).

2010?
If you’re talking about 2012, my bet would be Jim DeMint
Himself. He’s bluffing, as he always like to do. Did I mention he’s still banned in Britain?
Hehehe…good one jmyrlefuller!
My guess is Lyndon LaRouche
2012. My bad. DeMint is a good possibility. LaRouche? Sure, Savage loves Socialists. I suppose the question goes to a bigger picture of a fractured party with few front runners who have widespread name recognition. Yes, it’s early, but if you look at the people who appear to be posturing, who stands out? Romney? His faith should be an irrelevant issue. His health insurance plan in Massachusetts, however, should not be. Giuliani is relegated to being a player within the friendly (!) confines of NY. Eric Cantor seems to have all but disappeared since earlier this year. Huckabee has Dukakisised himself with the Clemmons rampage. I enjoy any suggestions as to why you think a certain conservative might be a likely choice.
This is no real Conservative other than Savage – just ask him..
So true. The lone conservative voice in the wilderness…at least whenever Kuhner isn’t filling in.
I’ve fallen behind on my LaRouche trivia…. current news is he supports government single payer health care – and thinks Barack Obama’s health care proposal is Hitler-like and is intended to set the stage for rounding up people in extermination camps.
My guess is that it was our old friend, Ron Paul. He is firmly in favor of strict border controls and of devolving our military interventions overseas. He also has taken a stand against business globalization.
Ron Paul is a good thought, although since Congress is currently is session the logistics of that seem unlikely. I don’t remember Savage ever mentioning going outside of the Bay Area for trips, industry events, tea parties…. – which makes the U.K. ban issue all the more silly.
Immigration is going to be a tough issue – since most Libertarians see immigration laws as a restriction of personal freedom. Economic liberty means people should be free to move and work wherever it is in their own self-interest. To deny a Mexican the ability to come to the United States to work is government interference in their rights.
While I am generally libertarian, the philosophy has several fatal flaws. It’s fine to say that government should not be involved in who has sex with whom, but years later when someone dies and its time to divide up property, people want the government to make those decisions based on a law and the facts. People want to be individuals for their freedom but collectivists for the consequences of their individualt actions (HIV/AIDS funding comes to mind)…. That doesn’t work. If you want the government to do something for you, that means you are giving up your liberty in return.
