Who would you rather have? Romney or Huckabee?

[NHSparky]

I don't care if R. Paul is a liberal, conservative, republican or Democrat, he can't possibly be taken seriously as a potential presidential candidate, its like saying Al Sharpton would be a possible candidate, they are both crazy, bottom line.

Uh, sweetheart?  Al Sharpton DID run for president in 2004.  And of course, the Democrats have such other sundry and powerhouse candidates such as Kucinich, Larouche, McKinney (although she ended up running as the Green Party candidate), to name a few.

Hi,

Oh really, go back on my meds.....  Guess you did not see the poll that scrolled on Fox.  As I recall his name was on it.  He is screaming for an audit of the fed and a few other popular issues.  I am not necessarily a Paul fan but his name may still be in the mix.

5412

Sorry, it's not.  He was exposed for what he is.  The only thing he's good for is to eff up the primaries, which is about all he did in 2008.

Personally I would love to see someone who is not a career politician in the mix also.  I notice the media made a big deal out of Tommy Franks prostate surgery, I think the libs are more concerned about him or one of the other popular military folks running.

Yeah back on the Meds now..........and I give a rats ass what some poll says.

Romney strikes me as a bit of a RINO.  I think he would have done better than McLame did in 2008.  I simply cannot get excited about anyone currently in the mix.  I certainly hope someone comes along before too long.  I fear that the current idiot's popularity will turn around, in large part thanks to the slobbering media, and that he will have four more in years in 2012.  I hope not, but I see no real challenger to him.  Hopefully the idiot continues to alienate Americans and the Repubs find someone that hits a stride with the majority of Americans.  

On the topic of Ron Paul, I can align myself with a lot of his positions but he is too far out there on others to make him plausible.  The media would have a field day with him.  What I fear is another rehash of 1992 where a third party candidate comes along and steals votes from the Republicans.  A Ron Paul, running as a Libertarian could take enough votes from a Republican candidate.  Believe it or not, there are still lots of Ron Paul signs out in Montana where I live.  He is wildly popular and most people see him as a brilliant.

Not popular issues, populist.  There is a difference, mostly a big guy v. little guy angle.  It got Huey Long elected, among others

Believe it or not, there are still lots of Ron Paul signs out in Montana where I live.  He is wildly popular here and most people who support him see him as a brilliant; everyone else thinks he's a nut. 

Given the recent influx of Ronulans here, we believe you.  Oh, and I fixed your last sentence.

Do explain the reasoning why a person who defends COTUS is crazy.

It would be "The COTUS"

Ummm... okay... You're technically correct.

But you didn't answer the request...

[rich_t]

Actually, in the sentence it was used in, it would be "the COTUS".  It is not proper to capitalize the word 'the' in the middle of a sentence.  If I were you, I wouldn't suddenly start trying to correct the spelling or grammer of others.

In a nation of over 300 million people, there has to be someone out there that can take down Obama. 2012 is an eternity in politics. Anything can happen between now and then. What I hope for is a candidate who is the polar opposite of Obama and not on the radar.
We may or may not get a super conservative. Unless we are living in an early primary state, we have no power over it.
Is Mitt Romney a RINO? Hell no. Does he have a couple political mistakes on his record, that he recognizes? yes .
But if properly advised, reorganized, and administrated, I can see Mitt Romney running a powerful campaign and become a pretty damn good President.  

[atruevoice]

What is nice about Romney is that he can probably carry many blue state, like for example... Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Ohio. He is charismatic, intelligent and a good speaker. He is also a Northern Republican. He is probably more moderate than most republicans would like but he does have the potential to beat Obama, if white people get fed up enough and republicans can run a solid grassroots campaign backing Romney I think he really does have a chance, especially if he were to pick a minority for Vice President. Now I do know that you have to be a natural born citizen to run for president, but can you have an immigrant as your vice president, obviously he or she wouldn't be able to take office should something happen to the president, I was think Arnold with Romney the electoral votes from California and Massachusetts alone could possible give them the ability to win. Maybe even Maria Shriever as VP, she is a Kennedy, Mass loves them, she is widely popular in California, she just doesn't have the political background, anyone know anything about her as far as foreign affairs?

I believe, An article (the) is capitlaized when it is part of the name, it is proper. The Constitution not the Constitution.

....and doesn't mention Michigan.

Just show your tits already. Isn't there a New Orleans trip and GGW in the future?


As for me, I choose neither. I voted for Romney in the primary, but damnit, the Republicans need to do better. I like Palin, but this nation is so Damn dumb and conditioned they'll never vote for a true leader. They want the f'n winner of American Idol. Sarah would at least LISTEN to the American people.

I believe "An" isn't capitalized when it doesn't start the sentence.

Do you really want to go down this path with the grammar Nazi shit? How about your misspelling of "capitalized"?

[atruevoice]

That was because I originally started my sentence with "An", but to be polite I added "I believe" sorry for the typo but I wasn't the one who started the attacks.

If I hadn't made that slight typo, I take it you wouldn't have said anything. You would have stayed in your little closet singing.

The Used Car Salesman has a couple of political mistakes he does not recognize either. RomneyCare for one is a killer.

...

Just a couple of questions -

Do you mean to imply that only white people vote republican or that non-white people will automatically vote for Obama (or any other democrat candidate ) ?

Do you think that republicans will care that the VP is a "minority" over and above any other qualifications (or lack thereof as the case may be) that they possess ?
 

[atruevoice]

I'm not implying that only white people are republicans, but the vast majority of minorities, especially african americans do tend to vote for the democratic candidate. Since only a fraction of the population actually votes if you get enough of any group to notice that they are being opressed and get them out to vote it could sway an election, white people are being opressed now, its as if we still feel guilty for what a few rich plantation owners did well over 100 years ago, despite the fact that most caucasian americans are decendants of european immigrants after the turn of the century. I think the qualifications are important but apparently people didn't care that Obama was unqualified, I think the best way to beat him though would be to find someone who is qualified but is also a minority to take the edge off of the "Black President". What I find odd about our "First Black President" is that in fact he really doesn't come close to the mainstream African American and he is in fact not a decendant of slaves and was raised by white people, he used his race to win.

How's that worked out for them since they switched from Republicans?
