I would like a President that actually dismantles something in the government. Something!

The boss says it best and succinctly:

FURP!

No liberals, no way!

The only people asking for endorsements before anyone has announced are liberal republicans that want to clear the field.

AMEIN!!!!!!!!

I don’t trust the players in the game, however I think Rand will actually dismantle parts of the catastrophic mess that is our government. Who knows at this point....

So far I like Huckabee (yes I know he is hated by too many but this is about who I like), Cruz (hated, too, but by a different group), Perry (same).

I am not sure a consensus will be easy. The “big tent” is too big to have coherent and consistent principles any longer.

For me, I will only vote for a social conservative. Period. I also want all the classic conservative fiscal principles back — like the contract with America days. But I will overlook some of that before I will overlook certain social issues. Abortion and homosexual everything are points of no compromise. I cannot respect anyone not strong on those issues.

Too early for anyone to formally announce. The moment they do, the candidate better have a football field full of ready cash by the barrel. There will be intro ads to run, ads that answer competitors who are reacting to your ads. Then you must launch attack ads against those who have disrespected or challenged or ignored you.

And you don’t want to pin yourself down too early with cut and dry beliefs on certain topics. Female Gop candidates are strongly advised to keep any history of ‘dabbling in Witchcraft’ or Polyamory to themselves or totally off the internet. Male GOP candidates are strongly advised not to give any opinion on ‘the validity of rape charges’ if at all possible. Just say, “I’ll ask my wife about this one”. This is but one of the ‘quicksand’ black hole topics that can swiftly overwhelm and destroy the most clever campaign.

Not far enough to the right for me, but farther right than anyone I’ve had the opportunity to vote for in the general in my lifetime.

I think the Senate is a great place for him (and Cruz, and DeMint, and 60 or so like them).

Walker/West is my dream team right now. I’ll take any combination that includes them, Paul, Palin, Palin, or Cruz.

I will vote for any one if he/she is a fiscal conservative.
Walker, Perry, Cruz & Rand Paul are fiscal conservatives with courage to change the direction. Crony capitalism must be ended. Palin is the best but she may not run.

$18 Trillion recorded debt.
Debt will be $20 Trillion by the time Obummer leaves (if he does leave, do not count on it. He has no regard for the constitution)

Fiscal issues if not corrected soon will be the demise of this great country.

Same here. I’ve never endorsed anyone this early, but Cruz is the real deal.
