It's not just them tho! Look what Bush did to us!!! Are these candidates really that far from being like Bush? Unless you want Bush like...

Frankly, Ron Paul is a kook and most of his supporters are unhinged liberals. That said, I'd vote for him over Obama if Paul were the GOP nominee. Of course, I'd vote for Gumby over Obama.

Yeah, I thought that too until I really looked at him- watched his speeches and then read 'The Revolution: A Manifesto'.

Why would a real Republican vote for a RINO or Authoritarian-leaner? Sounds like a contradiction to the party that advocates smaller government.

I really don't get the obsession with the Constitution anyway, since no candidate truly knows what it means and entails.
You really wanted to let the whole world see your ignorance?

So you think a candidate with a voting record that violates our Constitution and thus his/her future oath of office is somehow better qualified? Really?

why wouldnt that 14 percent vote obama if they end up nominating somebody far right like a bachmann, or a democrat in romney?

obama is still a heavy favorite.
I am betting those 14% did not vote for McCain either, if they even voted. There ae more Democrats that voted for Obama who might switch over, than Republicans that voted for McCain would switch.

Because it is the lesser of 2 evils maybe, regardless. I most likely will vote for the Republican that gets the nomination, as I don't think any of them are as bad as what we are living with today.

That is for sure. I don't think this country could be in any worse shape. Anyone that is willing to vote for Obama after the past three years must be living in a cave or under a rock. Maybe they should go visit an Obamaville and see if they are still willing to vote for him.
