Gay marriage, DREAM Act, DADT repeal, doubling the national debt, suing Arizona, destroying NASA, skyrocketing gas prices, limpwristed foreign policy, chronic unemployment, Obamacare, Pigford reparations scam ...

I am SOLD on voting against Obama in 2012.

The real question is, will the Republicans nominate someone who is worth voting for with a strong brand that we can get behind, or will the establishment get their way and nominate another Dole or a Juan McCain (or even worse a W.) that will go down in flames.

I’m not voting for Haley Barbour, Newt Gingrich, Flip Romney, Huckster or Jeb Bush under any circumstances. David Brooks’ recent praise of Mitch Daniels in the NY Times has me leaning toward crossing him off my list too.

If Sarah Palin would run on a strong border security platform, she would get my vote. I don’t know what to make though of any of the other candidates.

Agree with you. I liked Herman Cain until today. Chris Christie is a terrific pro-lifer but his anti-gun, pro-Mosque and something else stance rules him out. I liked Pence but he’s smart and not running - the really smart ones never do. I love Michele Bachman but I don’t think she would have the stamina it would take though with West as her VP it might work. Jim DeMint would be a yes but he’s not running. Then there’s our Sarah, the ace in the hole, she’s so shrewd she’ll get nominated if that’s what she wants...our repub elite will hate it but since we had to put up with their McCains and Doles...it’s our turn. I would really would like some backbone and less of the diplomat.

I could vote for Haley Barbour just to see liberal panties in a major, genital pain inducing twist for four or eight years. They’d hate him for his accent alone. I agree 1,000% on the rest of them (might as well vote Dem), with the sorta, kinda exception of Jeb Bush. I could close my nose with two clothes pins, take a shot of Wild Turkey Rare Breed (108 proof) and vote for him (I’d have to do some cussin’ afterwards).

“David Brooks’ recent praise of Mitch Daniels in the NY Times has me leaning toward crossing him off my list too.”

How about the worm act he pulled this past week in stabbing the Indiana senate in the back as reason enough to cross him off the list?

Mitch Daniels and Chris Christie were never on my list. Right now I’m only interested in Bachman, Demint or Cain.
