From The Fox Nation, accessed on August 24:
Fox Nation links to a WorldNetDaily article which claims that Hannity "would make a formidable candidate, with the likability of Reagan, good looks and strong convictions." From the article:
Talk-show host Sean Hannity, a vocal opponent of Barack Obama's policies, said today he would not rule out a bid for the presidency in 2012.
Egged on by radio colleague Bill Cunningham, Hannity said he would consider entering the front lines of the political fray if God directs him.
"I've never made a decision in my life without - whatever destiny God has you've got to fulfill it," he said. "I'm not sure that's my destiny."
Hannity would make a formidable candidate, with the likability of Reagan, good looks and strong convictions. He's also a polished communicator and knows the issues inside out.
And he can debate.
God wants you to keep your mouth shut and stop telling lies.
Is it possible we could have a president even dumber than Bush?
Ummm... no.
Since Vannity has no use for reality or facts, "debating" is quite simple.
Hannity would be a disastrous candidate. He is not electable by any stretch of the imagination.
Run Sean, Run!!!
The perfect candidate for those who thought Palin was a little to intellectual.
I have to say... I have a very hard time believing that Sean is religious in any true sense or form of the concept, and tend to believe that he uses his 'religion' as a bludgeon upon those that watch/listen to his puke-fest of a show in the hopes that those people would continue to remain blind to reality... ?!?!
I for one though would love to see InSanity and Caibu (or any Republican for that matter) run as a team... that would truly be the gift that would give for a long, long, long time!!
Other than the truly twisted (the right-wing fringe) among us in this country... I can't imagine anyone voting for this idiot!
It's like the frog in the water that's slowly brought to a boil, Bush, Huckabee and Palin were useful in gradually sliding the stoopidity scale to a point where a major cable "news" outlet can not only give Hannity a show, but discuss his viability as a candidate as anything but a joke.
Capt. Foster, I believe Hannity's religion is the type used by a small group of far right extremists (not the Christianity of real Christians) and it's a very streamlined theology based on the following;
1. the obsessive use of the abortion issue to get anti-abortion people to vote for the party that pretends they want to outlaw abortion, and
2. A very childlike excitement about saying the Pledge of Allegiance, especially the "Under God" part, very loudly and often.
"Sean Hannity, if he decides to run for President of the United States of American, has SOMEONE on his side that will guide him and protect him and show him which direction he must go. He said, "if God directs him". Sean has as much presidential credentials as any other president that has been in office. Look at our president now, he really deceived the American people. Sean is well known and has nothing in his background to hide."
These robots could double as comedians without trying,all they'd have to do is open their mouths. :-)
You have to love that the Foxnation poster feels sure that Hannity has the same credentials as any president in history, and they are somehow sure that he has nothing in his background to hide.
of course, we're talking about the same public that elected george bush.
I believe that if Hannity ran, it would have a terribly polarizing effect on the Republican Party. Best of all, after his loss (say, after two or three primaries), he would actually have to go on the air and admit defeat whenever the subject of the presidential race came up. I just can't see him admitting failure like that; he's much too proud.
Can anyone verify those attributes?
I can't handle even the thought that Hannity would even entertain the notion.
He can debate? Yeah, right. I know more about issues than he does.
Oh and Sean that will not be God talking to you.
And he can debate...I'm still cracking up over that one.
Does Mr. Hannity realize that, if he ever did run for a public office, his opponent would almost certainly prove a more formidable counterpart than punching bag Colmes?
