...I thought Huntsman would be my ideal candidate. And indeed, his tax reform proposals--modeled on Bowles-Simpson--are dead-on....
On foreign policy, Huntsman also favors a more realist correction to neocon excess, and would build on Obama's remarkable successes.... And his sanity on climate change--certainty that it is man-made but real skepticism about how to tackle it--is, in my view, the conservative position. And, almost alone among the Republicans, he acknowledges that gay people exist and that our committed relationships merit recognition in the law.
So why not Huntsman? The sad truth is: he simply hasn't connected with the voters, generates little enthusiasm, and has run a mediocre campaign....
Which brings me to Ron Paul. Let me immediately say I do not support many of his nuttier policy proposals. I am not a doctrinaire libertarian. Paul's campaign for greater oversight of the Fed is great, but abolition of it is utopian and dangerous.... There are times when he is rightly described as a crank....
But all this is why a conservative like me is for Obama. What we are talking about here is who to support in a primary dominated by extremes, resentment, absence of ideas and Obama-hatred.
And I see in Paul none of the resentment that burns in Gingrich or the fakeness that defines Romney or the fascistic strains in Perry's buffoonery.... He has now gone through two primary elections without compromising an inch of his character or his philosophy.... He is, in other words, a decent fellow, and that's an adjective I don't use lightly. We need more decency among Republicans.
The constant refrain on Fox News that this man has "zero chance" of being the nominee is a propagandistic lie....

Famous last words........(Well, last words anyway)

Excuse me?
What planet are you living on?
Guns to Mexican drug cartels to kill our own agents
Support for the mulsim brotherhood to take over huge parts of the Arab world thus endangering America
Turning down Canada’s oil
Civility? Sorry Obama is an idiot and is damaging my Country. Now is NOT the time for civility.......
Andrews was for `Hunts man` because he thought that was a description of the ambassador`s personal life. Then he saw those hot daughters, sniffed `Breeder!` and is now supporting the only gay ticket—`Ron and Paul.`
OOOH...Roasted troll on Christmas morning! Some traditions never get old!
Is that a pic of Ron Paul, or have you found a picture of the Crypt Keeper, pre-death?

This is an article by a homosexual leftist who falsely identifies himself as a conservative. The author is a long time , enthusiastic Obama supporter. He regularly attacks conservatives particularly Sarah Palin about which he spread the most vile and vicious lies. He wants Obama to be reelected.
This is the typical phony conservative who supports Ron Paul. He wants Obama to win. He thinks Ron Paul will help him win.

This is how Christmas day is spent zotting?I am no fan of Ron Pauls but if zotting is the cool thing on Christmas day why not zot all of the people that started threads of lies back in the beginning of the primary?The ones that bashed Perry saying Perry was jealous of Palin and stopped her from speaking at a governors convention?Or the ones that bashed Bachmann’s personal looks and called her a witch then called JR to zot someone because they called Palin a broad?
How about spending this Christmas day banding together to get Obama out of the WH instead of acting like brown noser juveniles?
“he has an excellent point about the need for decency — integrity and civility have been distressingly rare in the GOP of late.”
Here is an example of the author’s so called civility.
I didn’t zot the poster, Admin did.
For me, I’m glad to see a deliberate disruptor gone in our Christmas Day quest to insure the bamsters defeat.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
