Wow! What a list!
Wow! What a list!
I’ll vote for Newt over Mitt in the primary, but there is no way I’m voting for Mitt in November—even if he is the nominee.
Where’s Ron Paul’s column?
What can we do from here to get him on top? Any ideas other than throwing money at him?
> there is no way I’m voting for Mitt in November—even if he is the nominee.
Invest in a LOT of lead and brass, and be prepared to die for your country.
Fantastic chart.
It is going to leave a sting on all those RomneyBots who state that Romney is a conservative.
Romney and BHO are nearly identically politically.
Clarity and stark contrast.
Ron Paul's column surrendered to Hamas, was taken over by illegal aliens, and didn't show up because it was too stoned and sleeping with a bunch of hookers.
In your wet dreams
Ron Paul who?
Beat me to it, LOL!!!
And I've been ready to lay down my life for my country since I raised my hand and took my first enlistment oath back when I was 18.
But I am NOT voting for Romney. Ever.

Voting for Newt is a complete waste of time. He had his shot and he blew it!!! Newt is going nowhere fast!!! I wish he was, but...he isn’t. Get real!!! And.....please when Obama becomes the next “Hitler” after his upcoming re-election....please....no comments or complaints. You did your own self in!!! Remain quiet and suffer!!! Anybody But Obama!!!
I support Newt now that Santorum is out of the race, but unless Newt makes some fantastic headway and is able to force a brokered convention, there is little chance he can win the nomination.
Where’s Ron Paul’s column?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I guess since there were no questions regarding the support of legalized dope, and the betrayal of US service members - Paul didn’t make the cut.
Gotta give L. Ron Paul some credit though... He does make Obama look somewhat sane and credible.
It's like Lewis Black stated: Each Candidate is a befouled pail of ****, and our job is to choose which of the 2 will stink less 4 years from now.
And generally, the American people should faced with a choice that makes them should with glee when they fill out the ballot, not hold their nose.
This chart needs to be
