Pete King for President

Some rumormongering from Newsmax:

“In a recent political development that could only be called surprising, Newsmax has learned that U.S. Rep. Peter King, past chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, is being encouraged by friends in and outside the Empire State to seek the GOP nomination for president in 2016 …”

Why?  He’s an old, Northeastern RINO with limited national exposure.

“… “Peter can speak to and assemble the old Ronald Reagan Democrats — and he’s a world-renowned expert on global terrorism and national defense,” former Rep. Vito Fosella, a New York Republican and close friend of King’s, told Newsmax. “He has broad appeal and that’s why he keeps winning in the Northeast when other Republicans come and go.” …”

Yes, he can speak intelligently on terrorism and defense.  As to the later statement, I’m not so sure.  King’s continued re-election has as much to do with the inter- and intra-party cronyism and collusion Republicans and Democrats engage in as it does with any genuine public backing.

  1. Thats just great. How many times do we make the same mistake before it is no longer a mistake, but rather, down right stupidity? We have lost with one old boring RINO after another. Bob Dole, John McCain, Mitt Romney, and now this RINO ahole, who is less known, less appealing, and even more boring than any of them. This guy against Hillary – what a joke! Andre the Giant vs. Pee Wee Herman. Not to mention that he WILL totally fuck us first thing on his agenda. So we, along with all the other real freedom loving Americans will just STAY HOME. Yeah thats right Repubics, we DO have someplace else to go. HOME!! This is DOA – a non starter, and they better know it.
