I have read parts of Carson’s book. At times he sounded like a Democrat at heart. Maybe a moderate Democrat who is now considered a conservative because the Democrats have moved so far to a hardline leftist position on so many issues.

It is time to look for politicians who are not lawyers.

Mitt Romney is a lawyer.

I never liked Romney. He was at bottom of my list in 2012. Not because he is a lawyer but because he is a nice guy country club republican who can’t counter-punch in debates and on the stump.

I liked Newt because he is a very good counter-puncher although I do not agree with all his ideas such as the moon colony. In 2016 I like counter punchers like Cruz, Christy etc. Winning is paramount in politics and Football. Coach Vincent Lombardi is my idol.

When you lose elections, you got zero power to change any laws. Ask McCain, Palin, Romney, Ryan, Angle, O’Donnell, Mourdock and others who lost elections how many laws they have vetoed or changed.

I think we have too many laws and too many regulations and too many ball&chains on feet of people who want to start new businesses. We have 10 times lawyers per person compared to China, German, Japan. No wonder our economy sucks. China is accumulating huge trade surpluses while we are going in more debt. China is buying up business properties all over the world while we are frittering away treasure in middle-east wars.

It will a be quite a choice in 2016, Hillary Rodham Schmuck versus Mitt Putz.

When I finally recall my Jewish linguistic knowledge, I will suddenly realize what they both are and what they will both do to this country if elected.

If those 2 are our choices in 2016, it will indeed be a sad day in history of this country. We are forgetting what made this country great. It was wealth creation, not wealth distribution.

So you knew that the despicable man and pathological liar, and pro-abortion. pro-gay radical failed politician, Mitt Romney who has only won a single election in his decades of running, had also been a lawyer?

As bad as Romney is in my opinion, Obummer is 100 times worse.
If you can’t understand how much damage Obummer has done, then you are a hopeless case.

I can go issue by issue on which Obummer is 100 times worse but it will be a waste of time based on your posts.

How irrelevant, in your desire to constantly defend Romney you seem ready to go to any lengths.

Why does learning that he was a lawyer upset you so much that you are going to these lengths?
