I could possibly support any of these candidates. I prefer it not be Huckabee, Pawlenty, or Newt.

The rest is a pretty sorry lot and has to make the Obama camp pretty giddy.
#14. To: go65 (#13) 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.
#16. To: Ferret Mike (#14) (Edited) 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 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.

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.
