I don’t want to admit he makes me laugh. I’m trying to be polite (but THAT’S never worked around here).

I’ve made up my mind on issues and I realize that no one is going to be able to pull off my or his wish list. I want someone who can SELL IT, BABY, SELL IT. While I basically support Bush on his Iraqi war and the Middle East, and while I do believe we need to address a failing within the U.S. on immigration (and I’m not entirely sold on a fence, but like so much else in this topsy-turvy world, it seems to make folks FEEL better), BUSH CAN’T SELL SPACE HEATERS TO ESKIMOS. I’m tired of his inability to articulate and take on the liberal left. I want another Reagan. Now, THERE’S a guy who could deliver the medicine and make you think it was freakin’ orange sherbet.

NO MORE SPENDING, NO MORE BUFFOONS, NO MORE PANDERING, NO MORE TRUSTING SOMEONE BY LOOKING INTO HIS EYES (EVERY SCHOOL GIRL IN HISTORY HAS MADE THAT MISTAKE). Let’s all act like adults now.

WHOEVER all you pollsters, rocket scientists appoint, I’ll be voting for YOUR candidate, yes, even if it’s Ron Paul, because I’d rather have to put the mute on and read the subtitles during the State of the Union Address than have four years of Hillary and Bill back in the White House.

Whatever others say about him here, Ron Paul is a good champion of small-government.

After the spending orgies of the Bush years and the GOP majority, it was pretty hard for economic conservatives and small-government libertarian types to get excited over the GOP.

The party has neglected the entire small-government agenda. And, at least in part, our losses in '06 were a result of that.

I'm hoping other GOP candidates will again pick up the smaller-government agenda. That's what won for us with Reagan. That's what won for us with Gingrinch in '94.

Aw, go ahead. Laugh. It'll make you feel better. And like you said, don't worry about politeness around here when it comes to having a good laugh.

I feel your pain about Bush, the border problem, etc. But I have a few more exceptions than you with this current crop of candidates. NO on Rudy G, McCain and Paul. No ifs, ands nor buts about that, either. A smaller no on Romney and Huckabee. And since I don't believe Hunter and Tancredo have a chance in hell, that's not an issue. So, that leaves Fred. But, that doesn't mean he'll get the nod. And it may mean I'll be voting for someone while holding my nose. BUT! It will NOT be for those on my big NO list. I'll writ-in before I do that.
