Best replacement for Charlton Heston?

[xjer]

I like the previous suggestions of Fred Thompson and
Rick Schroeder. Rick might appeal to the younger generation.
I have heard a few comments about Heston from teenagers
"isint that Moses"

We need someone who will support the Whole constitution
not just the 2nd. As I have read here, the 9th and 10th
amendments are already gone.

How could I have forgotten Ben Stein?

James Earl Jones would be ideal. Fred Thompson would be good.

Ben Stein? Now that'd be weird, but possibly very effective!

Condi Rice would be great, 'cept we still need her in politics. She'll make a great VP and possibly Prez one day. As VP she'll just detonate the ongoing Dem claims of "racist Republicans". She's more valuable to us in the public sector.

What about P.J. O'Rourke?

 

[six 4 sure]

I always seem to get to these discussions late.

I know I'm not going to spell his name right, I heard that JIM SCOUTTEN, the host of American Shooter, is considering running for Pres.

Unless Charlton Heston's health has deteriorated over the holiday, isn't this discussion a little premature? I would hate to have him think we're all counting the days until he is replaced.

If you really want to get people upset,,,

How about Dr. Laura


Or Rush??

 

[Jim March]

Please GOD no not Dr. Laura. Yes, she's actually turned around on guns. But on other personal freedom issues? (SHUDDER!)

Roadrunner: I assume you're aware that Mr. Heston has come down with Altzheimers? He's already said he's going to serve out his current one-year term and then retire as NRA Prez. So that's only 3 or 4 more months he'll be in office.

This discussion is NOT premature.

 

[Jim March]

As to Rush, there's nothing "wrong" with him, except that in order to unify the gun-rights movement, the NRA cannot get publicly involved in too many other issues. The President of the NRA *is* the NRA, to a large degree. And Rush has his nose involved in more or less EVERY issue, therefore it wouldn't work out.

This isn't a slam on Rush, it's simply the nature of what he does. It doesn't fit with the mission of NRA Prez.

Same thinking applied to Dr. Laura, 'cept in her case I think the situation is far worse.

Rush is useful where he is now. So is Dr. Laura, come to think: her audience is actually quite "sheeple-ish" and whatever else I may think of her, she actually does dribble some pro-gun stuff at that audience in small doses (about all they can take).

Selleck. The women still drool over him!

I seem to recall that James Earl Jones has a stuttering problem when he's not acting from a script a' la Mel Tillis. This might pose a problem on Sunday Morning Talk Show give and take. There's JC Watts? Or, Stormin' Norman Schwartzkopf (sp) ? Or better yet, Eric Cartmann?

 

[moa]

How about former Congressman from Georgia, Bob Barr. I think he was also a former Federal prosecutor. He was one of the leading, conservative Republican Congressional spokespersons.

He is big on the 2nd Amendment and the rest of the BOR.

He is well spoken and a good debater. I have seen him many times on TV debating some leftie politician or newsperson. He can more than hold his own.

 

[moa]

Viking6, as far as I can tell, James Earl Jones long ago defeated his stammering problem. I just saw him in a TV interview last Saturday. He also has pretty good sense of humor.

 

[Viking6]

Point taken, moa. He does have that presence both visual and audio.

pizzaguy,

Isn't McRainey a flaming anti gun liberal in real life? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
