Ok my preference is Rand Paul. I could possibly support any of these candidates. I prefer it not be Huckabee, Pawlenty, or Newt.
The bottom line for me is that I want divided government.
In 2012 the GOP will retain control of the House and gain a small majority in the Senate. I do not want another situation like we had under Bush where the GOP were the ones concocting new huge government programs. It would be better for Obama to stay in office and fight with the GOP Congress.

We are screwed regardless of who is in power. The corporations have the puppet strings of government in hand as we slip into fascism, and the rich will keep stealing the world blind until we all Walk like an Egyptian and the worldwide upheaval starts.
I would rather see President Obama than any of the Republicans doing this way too early lineup. I supported Ron Paul in the primaries last time and if he had won, I would have the same, 'better the asshole you know than the one you don't know yet' approach.
I sure don't like many of Obama's policies, but I like him on a personal level. He is a decent human being. I also don't want four more years of learning curve problems. I would rather see what this team has now it has had some experiance.

I was a big fan of Ron Paul as well in early 2008 and contributed to his campaign before he had raised his first million.
I've lost faith in him now though, I firmly believe that pushing for massive spending cuts now will serve to wreck what little momentum the economy has. The answer to the deficit is modest cuts, higher taxes, and a policy that encourages growth, not slash and burn cuts that at the end of the day will leave the deficit where it is now (and maybe even worse) because they will weaken the economy and drive down tax revenues. Paul had the right views before the crash, his views implemented now would make recovery impossible.
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.

IMO it would be similar to Bush's second lame duck term. Burn down the house and the party, with the opposing party going along to use as a campaign issue in the forthcoming election. So the Republicans would help hObama destroy America so they could campaign against "the evil Democrats".
We're being played for suckers since this cycle has been going on for decades, if not centuries. Both parties are to blame, but mostly the voters for being suckers.

Here is my view. Make the big gigantic spending cuts. Say they cut 500 billion in spending. Then 1/3 of that should be tax reductions to keep the money in the economy.

Putting a million more out on the street while curtailing programs that support those already unemployed and cutting medical care for hundreds of thousands will not help the economy.

They also NEED to repeal NAFTA and GATT and similar deals.
I voted for Keyes in the 96 primaries. He is a great speaker and talks good on the constitution.
You also voted for that bastard in Arizona. Here we are, years later, knowing the SOB that you voted for also was a derelict towards government by begging the American People to further vote for his shit.
Its not all your fault that you were felled by John McCain and Sarah Palin. You are somewhat like Sarah's little guy, Trev.

Tariffs on imports.
There go the retail jobs.
You have the courage to tell the masses what no politician told them: you are inferior and all the improvements in your conditions which you simply take for granted you owe to the efforts of men who are better than you. Ludwig von Mises in a letter to Ayn Rand

There were retail jobs before NAFTA. There will be retail jobs if NAFTA is repealed. Ross Perot was right. It was a giant sucking sound of jobs leaving America.

So it is your position that we don't make anything anymore?
Anyhow. We still make lots of stuff. But not enough. If we repealed NAFTA GATT and other globullshitist crap. That would be an incentive for people to bring jobs back here.
I also support Tariffs, especially on Chinese goods.
If they are paying someone a dollar an hour. And we pay someone here 10 dollars an hour for the same job. Then there should be a 1000 percent tariff on that product minus the raw material cost.
I like Mitt- because he looks like my grandfather... :) BUT Huckabee is the only person on that list I would vote for. Honestly, I used to consider Mitt a good candidate-however, I have very recently been turned off by mormons, and can't get my head around voting for a mormon.
I don't like anyone associated with Ron Paul and if I am not overwhelmed by Herman Cain's experience and excited about voting for him, then there is someone better for me. :)
HE has actually had a REAL job and had to make a payroll.
But there is still a VERY long way to go.
Spoiled, stupid and ignorant, brain dead phuckwads, libTURD fools, tools, and idiots, are the real sickness; the messiah "king" obammy and his regime are only the symptoms.
