Gary Johnson

Didn’t the media have the 2008 race being between Rudy Guliani and Hillary Clinton around this stage of that Presidential Debate?
She targeted romney from the jump. And she never said anything about perry that wasn’t true. She is not “part” of fox news. They don’t tell her what to say. And on her last appearance, she defended perry. So there is no one to blame for perry but perry. perry belongs in Texas. That is where his mindset is and it will not work for the rest of the country. That is it, pure simple.
Also, these kids voted for Obama expecting something positive to happen. Instead they watched their future being stolen from them. This time around they don’t need or want a politician. They need a vote they can be proud of. They need to know their second vote restores their future.

I am looking at the fence from my front yard. The border patrol thing it’s a great tool to corral people to where they need them to be. Perry is an idiot if he thinks the Hispanics will vote for him. Just as Bush was. He will never get any votes in my family. If he or Romney are the best the GOP can put up, I will stay home. There are many more reasons for it but that is my hot button.
I dont disagree with your last point. I just dont see any evidence that presidents have had any affect on abortion, specifically Roe v Wade, so for me, that is not something I use to judge a presidential candidate.
As I understand, Paul has always opposed fed funds for abortion. You are right that a law prohibiting the administration of any drug that could be an abortifacient could be written. I am guessing Paul’s view is that such a law would also prohibit use of such drugs without any such abortifacient intent. I haven’t been a Paul supporter, so I am just guessing here.
” I just have a problem trusting him to stay where he is now.”
That’s the trick, isn’t it? With all of these guys. If you sit and listen to any of these guys, they’ll tell you something you want to hear. But do you believe them? Hell, even Obama can talk like a conservative if he tries. I believe Cain will do what he says. You know Ron Paul is going to do what he says. Gingrich? Not so sure. He’d wipe out Obama in the debates though.
Thanks for the Drudge headline. Checkin’ it out now.
I love Herman Cain!
This guy is the real deal, IF he could get the plan implemented.
As a human being, I think this guy is the ticket.
From a political angle, I have reservations.
Most states do it that way. California is a notable exception.
Yep, she's jumping in last month.
********************
Smart choice on their part, Romney was on FOX still pretending like SS is A-OK, I suppose Romney only wants to be president of seniors. Young people are screwed with SS as is.
Agree. And I know why Mitt is going after him. I do have to wonder why Santorum is so fixated on Perry, though. Santorum fell a lot for me tonight.
What it means is that neither you nor Rick are suitable to be President of our country.
Like I said, you can’t separate them, illegal immigration is tied in with the debt.
My suggestion was just the opposite. They listen to her and she is the Kingmaker. If Sarah Palin does not support them, they will NOT be the nominee and if she supports them they will become the nominee. Kingmaker. Remember that.
Those are not my words.
