...I thought Huntsman would be my ideal candidate. And indeed, his tax reform proposals--modeled on Bowles-Simpson--are dead-on....
On foreign policy, Huntsman also favors a more realist correction to neocon excess, and would build on Obama's remarkable successes.... And his sanity on climate change--certainty that it is man-made but real skepticism about how to tackle it--is, in my view, the conservative position. And, almost alone among the Republicans, he acknowledges that gay people exist and that our committed relationships merit recognition in the law.
So why not Huntsman? The sad truth is: he simply hasn't connected with the voters, generates little enthusiasm, and has run a mediocre campaign....
Which brings me to Ron Paul. Let me immediately say I do not support many of his nuttier policy proposals. I am not a doctrinaire libertarian. Paul's campaign for greater oversight of the Fed is great, but abolition of it is utopian and dangerous.... There are times when he is rightly described as a crank....
But all this is why a conservative like me is for Obama. What we are talking about here is who to support in a primary dominated by extremes, resentment, absence of ideas and Obama-hatred.
And I see in Paul none of the resentment that burns in Gingrich or the fakeness that defines Romney or the fascistic strains in Perry's buffoonery.... He has now gone through two primary elections without compromising an inch of his character or his philosophy.... He is, in other words, a decent fellow, and that's an adjective I don't use lightly. We need more decency among Republicans.
The constant refrain on Fox News that this man has "zero chance" of being the nominee is a propagandistic lie....

Merry Zotmas, lemming. Go check your emails for your next marching orders...
What did you or anyone expect?
The Democrats and Republicans have been riding in the same limo for years, lining their own pockets.
You missed it?
What did you expect when both beltway parties stand down at the border handing out coupons and rolling out the red carpet for millions to enter illegally? All this during wartime no less, while the political sluts force the tax payers to fund and subsidize their greedy big biz dirt cheap labor, as big biz bankrolls the sluts campaigns?
What did you expect when the U.S. borrows trillions from Communist China, prints and floods the country with all but counterfeit trillions, as the dollar becomes worth less and less. Send hundreds of thousands of jobs to Communist Red China, while at the same time flood the U.S. with millions of low wage labor illegals? More Muslims were imported under Bush than any president...While were at war with them?
Divide the united and control...It's what both beltway party's and the government does.
20 plus years of this, while playing global cop, looting the American treasure, have left America busted, broke and nearly dead on the floor.
Ya think everyone in the hinterlands is blind and can't see our strength, treasure and standard of living cartwheeling down range out of sight?
Come on people..
Civility?
Shut up, I win the debate.
Sweet indeed!
When you get ready to do some shootin', you and hubby must do a video for those of us who like gun porn.
I hate you and I’m jealous. /S
Want/Need.
Merry Christmas!
Oh, come on. Dr. Paul's already advised us that not only would he legalize them, but that the government's engaged in a disinformation campaign about crack cocaine!
Ron Paul! Before the orderlies secure his leather straps again!
Oh, I forgot to wish you the official Ron Paul "look under your bed for Trilateralists" Merry Christmas.
.
I'm nuts!
Pretty good picture of me though I look better when not scowling.
Did you see my PS90? It’s on my home page, if you want some nice gun porn.
My wife says I’ll shoot my eye out......No dice this year.
Still to this day shooting the Carcano that’s older than my father....
But enough about that.....
ZOT! ZOT! ZOT! ZOT! ZOT!....
Merry Christmas, Markos!
I love guns and ammo. The magazine, too.
Anyway, this was a righteous ZOT!!!
Nice weapon.
I bought a M4A3 Carbine back around late October or early November.
Bushmaster? Very nice rifle.
If you read my “review,” you know how I feel about the PS90, LOL! My heart’s on my sleeve. But I’m going to need some weightlifting to handle the M4. I can be in shape in two weeks, but I’m not sure my shoulder will take the kick of a 12-gauge at my age. We’ll see.
