The congress is so whacked right now i cant see anything meaningful get done. this is not always a bad thing and the founders intended it this way for a reason

The two choices we really have are Newt, Mitt or the big O. Newt is a really smart guy and has some good ideas but the pandering to the Right makes me swallow vomit every time i hear it. what do you consider "pandering to the right"?...just curious...my problem with Newt is that he displays a lot of the narcissistic qualities that we see in the current occupant...people like that shouldn't be trusted with a lot of power...they never think they are wrong

Mitt does not show confidence, he looks nervous to me. I have a hard time believing what he says. He doesn't just pander to the right, he just panders. show me a politician that doesn't "pander"

He seems like a moderate at times that takes huge turns to the right but then comes back to the middle. As a business man i dont really know if he was that successful or not. Running the Olympics is running a country, its not even in the same ball park, it aint even the same game. tougher than "community organizing" though


Ron Paul is a whack who i respect. I like a lot of his ideas, but if they were all put in place i shutter to think what would actually happen. so he's a whack with good ideas and you respect him but you shutter to think what would happen....I'm lost Isolationism isn't a bad thing. I think he is the only one who think Israel should be on their own. well, probably also Iran, Syria, Egypt etc...

On the social issues... Do they really matter at all right now? or ever? Isn't getting the economy back on track more important than abortion etc. gotta fund it somehow

I didn't lose my guns when Obama got elected like it was warned by so many. Gay marriage, whatever... I think his position on this is still "evolving"...that's how the White House describes it...but it's fine if you are him.... The only issue i really care about and its not really a social issue is Social Security. I have been paying into it for a long time, and damn it i better get mine when i retire and i don't mean when i am 87 years old.you will not be getting "YOURS" ...you will be getting the sum of several of your kids and grandkids contributions...you should thank them

When it comes to fidelity in office i really don't care. Clinton did a good job and had his on the side, Newt on the side, JFK, lots on the side. When you are a person in power no matter what the job the opportunities with women present themselves. I don't care if you take advantage of the situation, it shouldn't come out in public. If it does just admit to it. Its not usually that big of a deal unless you are John Edwards, he really botched it up. and his hair never moved throughout the entire ordeal

I usually stay out of the political forum but im bored and bitter that im not at the rod building class right now. Friggin snow...
you are right....it's a tough one
