Well, if he really is a Statesman, he'll simply point out where and how he is the best man to be President.

Time will tell I guess.

Huckabee is a problem for Cruz,Walker,Paul, and a few others.
Huck is a good candidate and will appeal to many social conservatives. He will be one of the few standing late in the game.

I sure wish Ted Cruz would step up and make American jobs his biggest issue.

Build up America.

Strong and true. Build up America, right here in America. Bring back manufacturing from Beijing and elsewhere, bring it right back here, and build up America.

Ted, we know you are all for some things.

How about standing up strong, right now, 100% pro-American. Stand up, and say “bring back jobs right here to America.”

How about it Ted?

Grow American jobs. Grow American employment. Right here at home.

That is an agenda I could strongly support.

How about it Ted?

Yep. Couldn’t agree more. I think I’m going to have to change my preference to Jeb! Let’s all be reasonable here. Jeb offers a sane and compassionate immigration policy. Only a moderate number of abortions of useless eaters. Common sense gun control. And favored by your Chamber of Commerce.

Jeb! Is John Boehner tested, Mitch McConnell approved. Note new tag line.

Look...I am going to first support Ted Cruz because I think he is the best overall choice. However, I have supported Huckabee in the past, and could do so again if Ted wasn’t in the race.

Now what I want to know is what part of “slave to their libidos” is NOT true? IF speaking the truth is being “out touch” then Ted Cruz is a lost cause as well. He has said a lot of things just as “out of touch” but absolutely true.

To say someone is a “drag on the party” for speaking truth is just silly.

Ted Cruz has the right idea and attitude. The competition is not a bad thing. He is not worried by it, and I won’t be either.

The only candidate I consider to be a “drag on the party” is Rand Paul. He is NOT a Republican but a Libertarian that should be running under that parties banner. He is a real drag on the party, not Huckabee, et. al.

I welcome Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, and Gov. Mike Huckabee into the race.

I don't. They're vanity candidates who have no chance of winning and will just clog up the early debates. But you're a good guy for welcoming them, Ted. :)

The pubbies “drill here drill now” energy policy is just about out of date. The frackers don’t need government land to pull growing records of oil out of the ground. They just need the feds to get out of the way. Obama has been a nuisance to the frackers but he has not seriously interfered with their work.

For the last couple of years guys have been posting articles more or less continuously at FreeRepublic about 4th generation nuclear reactors that burn waste nuclear fuel or thorium. These reactors are walk away safe and create energy for 1/2 the cost of cheapest coal/natural gas. They promise further to collapse the cost of energy even further when they go into production. The Chinese —having got the designs from the USA —are now going full speed ahead with the these msr reactors. The US energy department is even helping them along.

Really the stakes are so high. This is not an issue that can be safely ignored. For all kinds of reasons—not least of which is that cheap energy enables cheap water desalination—and water for California from the pacific.

The pubbies need to trump the dems clean renewable energy policy with a policy to kill the cost of electricity. That’s what will make a successful 21st century in any case. Further, its going to happen anyway. The question is who gets the credit. The question is whether the pubbies will get to put their imprimatur/stamp/brand on too cheap to meter energy like the dems have put their imprimtur/stamp/brand on renewable energy.

There is one other thing.

Limited government requires unlimited resources.

The way you get to unlimited resources is byo cheap energy and water.

Vomit? I am not supporting Huckabee by any means. The problem is that he will take a lot of energy away from real conservative candidates. The sooner we conservatives realize that the better.

I’m a fan of reactors and water desalinization, so you don’t have to talk me into it.

My only fear with these small reactors, is the massive importation of Islamic dregs to our shores.

These sub-humans are just insane enough to break into these reactors or blow them up, to cause a dirty mess.

Seems you’re approaching from the angle that Ted doesn’t care much about American jobs.

Well...

I believe Ted should stand up clearly, and firmly for American jobs.

America is currently running a (massive) trade deficit with China, and other countries.

I am looking to our leadership, to do something about this, to improve America’s trade position. This topic matters to me.

I want to vote for someone, who is clearly supporting what I care about.

Donald Trump actually, seems to be the only person at the moment, concerned about this.

Donald Trump.

Hate to say it, but he’s right about this important consideration.
