I value your opinions.....that's why I'm asking.
The one person who really ought to be on that stage is quietly watching this slow motion train wreck, while millions wish she’d reconsider her decision.
Cain, Bachmann, and Santorum are all good.
Cain
His economic plan, his empowerment instead of entitlement attitude, his ability to see a problem and attack it are why he still has my vote.
I think a Cain/Bachmann ticket would be ideal.
Mix their fiscal and domestic strengths with Bachmann’s foreign policy prowess and they’d be great.
I personally think Bachmann should top the ticket but I don’t think she can be.
Newt.
Let's rip your guys/gal a new a$$ before I tell you who I like.
(I'm kidding)
People are really being over sensitive. We debate because we all believe in what is best for the nation. We are all on the same side with differing opinions. It's ok to disagree.
Avoid arguments of feeling. State positions, reasons and logic. Provide links when necessary. Avoid name calling and denigration of fellow FReepers (unless they say something really, really ignorant about support for Romney or Paul).
Eventually, we need to all line up, support and defend the nominee that wins the primaries.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Now let's get ready to ruuuummmmbbbbbllllllle.
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the chicken....errrrr, kitchen.
Speaker Gingrich is standing even more strongly on my list. Perry and Cain are there too.
Thats clear from the way you phrased your question.
I’d like to put Newt, Cain, Bachmann and yes, Huntsman in a blender and take out the good parts from each and discard the detritus.
Can I do that?
"In the next three weeks, I predict to you we will have all sorts of questions about me. And it's fine. You can not ask the people of the United States to loan you the most powerful governmental job in the world, particularly in a campaign that's promising very dramatic change, and not have them vet you carefully and thoroughly," Gingrich said.
I wanted Sarah Palin, I will support Herman Cain and Michelle Bachmann. None of the rest give me any feeling of enthusiasm. I will say that I will not support Mr. Romney, I’ll still vote but I will not vote for President at that point.
Romney is a liberal - NO
Hunstman is a liberal with a softer voice - NO
Paul is an anti-Semitic isolationist - NO
Cain - ?
Perry - ?
Santorum - I like the guy but no
Bachman - Great qualities she just rubs me raw - probably not
Gingrich - ?
Today Nove 23, 2011 at 640 AM PST - who knows what tomorrow will bring.
The crucifixions that you speak of are the reason I don’t come here (FR)much anymore.
While we might not agree with every candidates opinion, we whould all agree that it’s better than what we have now.
This is our chance to show the candidates that we’re not going to take any of their carp when he or she becomes our President.
I would support Mickey Mouse against Obama if he was the nominee. Inasmuch as the nominee will most likely be decided before my states Primary, I will support that nominee whoever he or she is. Those of you voting in States that may decide the nominee I would advise to answer the question”who has the best chance of beating Obama” and that is where your vote ought to go. This is one year where for the sake of the Nation, beating Obama is more important than ideology.
I am supporting Rick Perry because, out of all the GOP candidates, he has the most executive branch experience (12+ years), has governed one of the largest states in the union, Texas has created more jobs than any state in the union combined, supported the Tea Party before there was a Tea Party, is solidly socially conservative, has an amazing economic plan, basically wants to apply the Texas model of government to Washington DC (works in Texas, would work in DC!), can deliver fiery speeches and is JUST PLAIN AWESOME!
FREEDOM, PROSPERITY, RESPONSIBILITY: RICK PERRY, 2012!
Huge point you made there. NOW is the chance, before Iowa, to coalesce. If we don’t make dang sure that Iowa and SC bring out one strong non-Romney, we have to send a ton of money to him or her now. Or soon. Seriously.
We don’t have a Perfect Candidate. They don’t exist, and a lot of good people don’t want the job.
One of this pack is strong, conservative, and a refreshing outsider, and that is Herman Cain. He is bold enough to stand up to the media, and he’s proved that. He can do what we want, which is to tell and show Americans that constitutional conservatism works best for all Americans to have a chance at a good life.
Perry and gingrich have too much pity for bad guys. According to their stance on illegals, if they find a terrorist who’s had a family, or who’s been here a long time, why, it would be cruel to remove him from his family. Good thing they weren’t at osama’s compound with seal team 6.
Seriously, Cain could beat Obama. He is more real and likable than Obama. There is the same race so that becomes moot for all but liberals. And it’s the apolitical ( better term than independents) whom we need to convince. A lot of them have been hurt by Obama.
I think Cain is our best shot at besting Obama.
