Doesn't matter. Most of the people in the GOP aren't all that smarter than the people who support the Dims. For the most part, they are voting for celebrity candidates like Rudy McRomney, whoever they've heard of on national TV. If LBJ came back to life and put an R next to his name they'd vote for him ( and of course, they already did, his name was Lyndon Baines Bush, another big spender from Texas ).

Hate to be pessimistic, but look what the GOP "leadership" has done to Tancredo and Hunter: gone out of their way to villify them. That's because they threaten the spending, which the GOP leaders have promised to their clients.

Ron Paul was right: he said that the current government is just two gangs having a fight over who gets to spend the people's money. The ideology that the parties supposedly support are just marketing positions, pieced together to try to corral enough votes so that their guys end up with the money.

Honest guys like Tancredo, Hunter, even Paul are homeless in this party. The Republican party is now back to its form of the latter part of the 19th century: a party of large corporations whose market is primarily government - corporations that cannot compete in open markets, because no one wants what they sell. So they need a government to shove their junk down our throats.

The other guys are just the front men for those corporations.

Sorry for being negative - but what can you say when Hunter and Tancredo are in the single digits, even now?

Don’t forget, Congressman Hunter is not just a Presidential Candidate. He is saying no from the Homeland Security Committee. Unlike the other candidates who’s nos are only lip service at this point, Hunter has power and will continue to use it.

Rudy McRomney is the “Front Runner” and most people are too delicate to vote for anyone who doesn’t have a chance of “winning”, even though the “winner” will ...

1) raise the national debt
2) leave the borders open
3) abandon the unborn

Voting for a “front runner” because “he can win” will ultimately turn you into a loser.

Note my tagline ...

Exactly...
