  1. President Bush: To talk about the part faith has in America
    Hilary Clinton: As a sacrifice to get her out of America

    That is soooo easy, yet extremely tough!

    Nationally known Republican: Ron Paul – he understands the principles and economic system upon which our own nation was founded.

    Nationally known Democrat: Joe Lieberman – he understands the principle of national security and a strong defense.

    The tough part: neither of them are female, and I cannot think of a nationally known female of either party to whom I would be attracted to in order to propogate the species. So, us three strandees better be awfully innovative in the area of emergency signalling and survival, which I suspect we are, or damned good swimmers.

    Ronald Regan and Harry Truman because I really would like to get to know both of them better. They both came from “untraditional” backgrounds and were thrust into the Presidency at very difficult times in America’s history. They both seemed to be stong in their positions, fair, and people oriented. I would just like to get to know them both better.

    Republican: Newt Gingrich (second – Fred Thompson)
    Democrat: Do I have to? (second – Joe Lieberman)

    No comment needed.

    Republican: Fred Thompson, to talk him in to running for President! What a guy!
    Democrat: One of the Clinton, any one of them, so I can kick them in the butt for making a laughing stock of the white house and to boot them off the island!

    Can I be stranded with more than one Republican? This is tough, but easy. As far a Democrat goes, I would like to be stranded with Joe Liberman or Zell Miller. As far as Republicans, I would enjoy being stranded with (not in any special order): Fred Thompson, Secretary of State Colin Powell, Secretary of State Dr. Rice, Dr. Henry Kissenger, Mitt Romney, Tod Olsen, Supreme Court Judge Sandra Day O’Conner, Michael Reagan, Vice President Cheney, Mrs. Cheney, Tony Snow, and of course, President GW Bush and the First Lady. It might also be fun to be stranded with Ann Coulter.

    If I had to be stranded on an island with only one Republican, I would want to be stranded with Colin Powell or Dr. Rice. My first choice would be Colin Powell because he is ethical, intelligent, resourceful, kind, and a “no nonsense” guy. If it could not be Colin Powell, I would want to be stranded wtih Dr. Rice because she is very intelligent, confident, focused, respectful, diverse, and loyal. She is also very interesting and possesses many talents, such as playing classical piano.

    I do have an idea. I will volunteer to be stranded on an island with the Clinton’s, Nancy P., Ted Kenndy, John Edwards, John Kerry, Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson for at least 3 years or more. Thus, they would not be in Washington DC wasting tax payers money, raising taxes, fighting President Busy, etc… Hey, we may even have a chance on winning the war on terrorism too. Hey, it is just a thought.

    Hilary! After all, she is the smartest woman in America. She must know a lot about survival on an island. Besides, if she is stranded with me, she cannot run for public office.
    Dick Cheney because of his wisdom and knowledge of hunting. We will need to eat to survive.

    I asked my Mom, who is live-long, dedicated Republican,this question. She stated she would like to be stranded with Colin Powell and Bubba – President Bill Clinton. Why? Believe me, I wanted to know too. Simply, Colin Powell would know how to survive. More important, Colin Powell and Bill would not be able to stay on the island together. As such, both being intelligent men, they would get off the island somehow. Meanwhile, because Clinton cannot stay away from the media and loves attention, he may tell many interesting facts that are not common knowledge. So, she decided she will take a tape recorder with extra tapes and batteries. You know how Bill loves to talk. Also, Hilary would have to act concerned about her husband and would have less time to campaign.

    Nancy Pelosi to keep her busy and away from causing normal hard working Americans from suffering from her politics.

    Cheney for his hunting/survival skills and the media would find him so no worries. on being found. I think it would be fun to learn from such an interesting statesman…

    Anthony Kennedy and Sandra Day O’Connor so I could quiz them relentlessly on their logically and legally flawed arguments in Planned Parenthood v. Casey upholding Roe v. Wade, essentially on the grounds that (1) stare decisis means you can’t change even bad law; (2) people have come to rely on it; and (3) that moral relativism is not just bad philosophy but the law of the land (the famous mystery language “at the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and the mystery of human life”).

    I know they were both appointed by Reagan, but hey, nobody’s perfect. I think together the two judges constitute about 1 Republican and 1 Democrat.
