ALL the candidates have flaws and positions I find distressing. With that said, after studying all their positions, I easily concluded that only one candidate of the four has the will, the platform and the experience to turn our Republic towards Liberty. That person is Newt. Mitt and Paul are non-starters.
Rick is a laughable lightweight -- two unspectacular terms in the senate; a platform that until recently (2mo) was very light on specifics; and very little charisma. He was just one of 100 Senators -- whop-de-do. He's trained as a lawyer -- big negative in my book.
After two minutes of hearing him speak, you get a funny feeling that Rick is trying to impress everyone with his "purity" and his Conservative credentials. He doesn't have the focus on taking on D.C, Rick is more of "look what a great Conservative I am."
