Not my picks.
That said, I love this country, and I’ll vote for WHOEVER the GOP puts up against Obama.
I sincerely implore all FReepers to accept that there is no perfect candidate and that we must unite to defeat the current regime.
2012 is the most important election of our lifetimes.
We must put personal preferences aside and rise to the occasion.
You are indeed correct it is the most important election in our liftimes, if not in U.S. History.
No candidate will be perfect, but in no way should a RINO be accepted. That will be the death knell of our Republic.
If we elect a RINO type, they will just be a placeholder for four or eight years. Then likely another radical Dem will come into power and truly finish us off.
A very, very strong and very bold conservative must rise to the top and win the nomination. Only someone with a Warrior mindset, willing to smash the heads of the GOP leadership in Congress, can push through the necessary changes; slashing government spending and firing large numbers of Federal workers (parasites).
Obama cannot win any southern border state except CA. This is a pick up of 32 electoral votes with FL and NM. Obama has pretty much no chance to win reelection no matter who the Republicans choose. Being from MN and knowing Pawlenty he would not be my choice, he was a global warming guy when it seemed the political thing to be. The only way Obama wins is if he raises 6 billion and pays folks to vote for him. I hope many candidates will step up battle for the nomination and may the best woman with gonads win.
