None of them are solid conservatives of course.

Solid conservatives don’t want to run for these jobs.

We just have to get as close as we can.

None of them are solid conservatives of course.

Certainly not all the time.

Even George Washington couldn't satisfy everyone on his own side, let alone the other.

Anymore of this crap like this article and I wanna just get the attitude “who is going to crash us the quickest so we can get over this crap and start re-building”

Personally I want Newt or Santorum, but Ron Paul would be a better re-set button than Obama (it would be “quicker” ) and Romney would be a slow agonizing painful death by a thousand cuts as the car heading for the cliff is slowed down from 80mph to 40mph and we still end up going over the cliff we just end up screaming in agony LONGER....

Newt and Santorum “seem” better but as we all know politicians have the bad habit of changing their spots once they get sworn in. I think they need to check the bibile they swear Presidents and congresscritters in with, there is probably hidden needles that inject them with liberal looney juice.....

No! It means we have to draft someone. I would recommend SC Senator Jim DeMint, he's the only one that has a chance of getting Paul supporters, as he realizes the debt is the most serious issue, and believes in an affordable foreign policy.

It may not matter. I think the next congress is going to reassert control over the operation of the feral government. Romeny will do as he’s told (by Congress). I think Santorum might be far more of a principled conservative than he’s ever been in a position to demonstrate. I think Santorum has the most chance to be a Great President.

I thought it was interesting that Ron Paul is the most conservative member of congress. I had never seen that asserted before. The trouble with Paul, and I’m sorry to say it, but he lacks the personality that people want to see in the chief executive. He’s querulous.
