Considering the source (Fox and specifically Cameron), I’ll wait for independent verification.

If true, however, it gives me pretty much a good excuse to “check out” of politics for a while, considering that my #2 choice has been “none of the above” for some time now. I cannot bring myself to campaign for, or vote in the primaries for any of the following:

* Giuliani: A social liberal with a nasty authoritarian streak and the personal morals of an alleycat

* Romney: A northeastern liberal flip-flopper who thinks government has all the answers (he wants to “manage” the people of this country as if they were HIS employees, not vice-versa)

* McCain: Oddly enough, the most conservative (viable) candidate remaining, but when he goes off the reservation, he REALLY goes off

* Huckabee: No thanks to “big government for Jesus” and thinking that “love thine enemies” applies to foreign policy

* Paul: National security is issue #1, and Paul fails miserably

It was on radio news and Rush Limbaugh as well. Reportedly his mother is having failing health.

Right now, Paul is the best candidate on border security. The last time I looked, border security equals national security.

The words 'McCain' and 'conservative' shouldn't even be near each other. He should be running as a Dem.

“* Paul: National security is issue #1, and Paul fails miserably”

You think that only because you don’t understand his goals around National Security.
