GOP Debate
This should be interesting...didn't even know Newt was still running.
Already, Bachmann is showing to be a dope.

Bachmann isnt going to be going far. She is hyped up, better than Palin by a bit i think, but she would be a disaster for the country.

this is hilarious...the greatest, smartest, cleanest and most articulate President ever (ready to be chiseled out on Mt Rushmore) is an ACTUAL disaster but some are claiming to be able to predict which candidate will be a "worse?" disaster for this country?
Spence supported Joe Biden last time around and continues to support everything that the current disaster does...Spence you have no business referring to any candidate as a dope given your track record
do I need to relist the roll of dem candidates from the last presidential election?
how about just the top 3.....
John Edwards.....that would have been great fun...huh?
Hillary...apparently the current focus of buyers remorse ridden dem voters
Obama....the only guy that can make the Carter presidency look good

First impressions:
Newht- sharpest tack in the room, would kill Obama in any debate.
Bachman-determined and wouldn't waiver from her consevative agenda.
Romney-typical politician,promise ya everything and give ya Arpege.
Paul- Paul is Paul
Cain-(sp?) common sense guy.
The others- no real impression.
Looking forward to Perry as I know nothing about him.
Juliani maybe close to running, that imho,would be good

Guess we are up for an expensive unimpressive ride. The current occupant of the WH has been unimpressive as well.

Should have at least watched the first half of the Patriots, instead of them jackels behind a podium.  |

YOU NAILED IT.
Gingrich is a genius, with actual ideas that address actual problems, and he can explain why his solution has worked in the past, and why the liberal alternative has always been a disaster.
I would pay anything to see Gingrich debate Obama. Anything. It would be an absolute bloodbath. Because not only is Gingrich smarter than Obama, he's not afraid to take off the gloves.
Sadly, while I believe Gingrich would do the best job, he has very little chance to win the primary, and less of a chance in the general election...too much historical baggage. Which is too bad, because IMHO, he is exactly what we need.
In 2008, I was the first person to predict that Palin would be the VP choice. For the last year, I have been saying that Marco Rubio would be the VP choice for 2012, if he was elected US Senator from FL, which he was. Rubio is the most important Republican in the country right now...he gives the GOP a shot at Florida (which will be a key state in 2012), he gives them Catholics, he placates the tea party (very important to get them energized), and MOST IMPORTANT, he gives them a shot at the Hispanic vote (Rubio is Cuban-American). He is the GOP's ticket for the next decade.
If Hispanics start voting for the GOP, you watch how fast liberals change their tune on immigration. In the next nanosecond, liberals will build a one-way, high-speed train to the Mexican border, and stick anyone with brown skin on that train... |

He is smarter and surely better but he can screw up too and I think we can do better. But he would wreck O in a debate.

Selective and manipulative just like our current media. They will decide the next election. Just like they did the last one. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

Bachmann just won the Iowa straw poll.
It's interesting...growing up in Iowa I never really knew many real Liberals and never knew anyone was bat#^&#^&#^&#^& crazy enough to vote for her.
The idea that it's either going to be Perry or Romney for the nomination is pretty depressing.
