Isolationism has never been a good idea. I have no issue with most of Mr. Paul’s ideas, except (and it’s too big an exception to ignore) his foreign policy. I wouldn’t even care about that but for the fact that we can’t simply crawl in a hole and pull it in after us. It is, however, my nature to do so, but it’s just not possible.
I favor a flat tax, but I’m told it is regressive. I suppose that’s only because it would require everyone to pay taxes which we’ve been reticent to do.

I like Gingrich...
How could you not? [hint: this is where you lost some credibility]

I would watch the governors. The current budget situation is providing an opportunity for them to prove themselves as cutters of spending. Someone like NJ gov Christie has taken on the unions and is looking to reduce spending significantly. Also, NJ is a high beta state (revenues grow more quickly in recovery and decline more quickly in recession). If the national recovery takes hold, he could see a significant bump. However, 2012 may be too early for a run.

I like Bobby Jindal and Michele Bachmann. We need brains, courage, faith and good strong family values, to topple the current dark administration.

Loaded question...
you see - the kind of person it would take to “win back our nation” is deemed unelectable by the Republican Party (and many here on FR). The capitulators say we have to have a “middle of the road” candidate that has broad appeal. Unfortunately, as has been proven over-and-over - that kind of candidate becomes yet another of our big-government problems.

The problem isn't the election, it's the primary circuit. That's where we get killed.
Last time through we lost all of the good folks (Duncan Hunter, Fred Thompson, etc.) on the Conservative end and wound up with turds like McCain, Romney and Huckabee duking it out for the coming 'tard fight. None of them was any good and we had already lost in the primaries.
And dont discount the threat of a third party. Yeah, Id rather see a Tea Party contender in 2012 but if we have T, R and D then the right will be split and Obama will coast to reelection. Just look what happened in 1992 when Clinton ran against a Republican and a right-wing independent (Perot) and won with 43% of the vote! Perot again played the spoiler in 1996 with nearly 10% of the vote and Clinton becoming Americas first two-term minority president with 49.2% of the vote.
Fortunately Nader was nice enough to give us 2000 (and the dimocrats blame it on the SCOTUS! LOL) but thats not the payback we need.
If the right cant unite in 2012 were going to have four more years of Obama, guaranteed.

A LOT can happen between now and the 2012 election cycle. All polls, press and prognastication are just spinning your wheels until the fall of 2011. Let’s concentrate on winning congress THIS YEAR and hold the new guys’ feet to the fire. Re-visit the POTUS issue in about a year and a half.

I have heard over the years Ron Paul was a nutcase. So...I did a little research and he is NOT a 9/11 truther. Your thoughtful and dispassionate search for the truth led you to the ineluctable conclusion ....
RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT!!!

I am not really excited by any of the choices be put forward by the media. After the 2010 elections are over, the field will fill out.

I agree with you. I did not like Ron Paul in 2008 and I never thought I would vote for him, but I really think we need someone like that at this point. Congress can approve spending, but that doesn’t mean the executive branch has to spend it. Ultimately, the president is the CEO of every federal department. I don’t mind that he is an isolationist, but I would need assurances that he would not hang us out to dry if we are truly threatened. Hopefully, he is taken seriously this time by the moderators and other candidates and gets a real chance to defend his positions on forign policy.
To: NoObamaFightForConservatives
We have at least a year to even try and figure out who is going to be our nominee.
Meanwhile, we should eliminate the real losers.
Mike Huckabee tops my list.

Paul will be 77 in 2012. A little long in the tooth, don't you think?
