Yeah, you keep posting that. We get it, you have a real problem with ageism. Obviously from the percentage of Paul supporters being under 35 yrs. of age others do not share your bias and look beyond the surface to the substance.
Now that is just damn funny right there..Disrespectful to our current president? How about Obama & Libs bringing up, and blaming ex presidents from the last 200 years.
The reason for the disrespect is the pandering and nothing is lower than sucking up to an electorate just to score points. If a candidate has something to offer they do not need to focus on bashing the currect POTUS. I know that it is done more often than not, but Bachmann is not runnung against Obama yet and she very likely will never be. The most impressive thing she had to offer the public was light bulb legislation.
Are you serious? She actually had a concert in return for voting for her? Unethical right out of the gate!
The concert was for her and her staff and supporters. Other candidates had BBQs and stuff for their people too. She did not say the concert was in return for voting for her but rather a campaign event for her supporters. If you are paying for food and entertainment, do you want your opponent's people coming and eating and dancing at your party? Of course not! And NO I am NOT a supporter of Bachman.
1. Apparently Iowans, after seeing the damage Obama has done, being a candidate with no applicable experience now running our country, are willing to turn around and vote for another person with no applicable experience just because she yells louder than everyone else when she talks making her seem more decisive than their mailman who probably also has good ideas, shares their ideology and is just as qualified as Bachmann to be President.
2. Don't give up, Tim Pawlenty. If you have the money to keep plugging along, keep plugging along. You are right about Bachmann. I suspect now, however, both Mitt Romney and Rick Perry will have to sing your tune. She is NOT qualified for the job.
3. Re Ron Paul and the media: Never underestimate the enthusiasm of a politician's fans. He came pretty close although no one ever remembers the person who finished second, in any contest, no matter how close they come. He gave a great afternoon speech on the sanctity of life on Straw Poll Saturday.
4. Iowans, expect to see more of Mitt Romney in your state. Yes, I know he didn't campaign in Iowa but he was actually on the ballot and finished lower than Perry who wasn't on the ballot, who hasn't participated in a single debate and just declared on straw poll day. That's got to give Romney and his organization the heebie jeebies, so I think you will be seeing more of him up close and personal.
5. Next year, should we actually expect a different primary/caucus winner in the first three states up? What would that mean? Would it make Florida (a big state) more important?
6. Mike Huckabee should not be used by Fox News as an impartial analyst/panelist for the 2012 presidential race. He's ticked off at Rick Perry for failing to endorse him in 2008 and who could forget Huckabee and McCain ganging up on Mitt Romney in 2007/2008? Put Huckabee back on the shelf, strumming his tunes, on his own show. He's not impartial.

Don't be so sure of yourself.
The media and the neocon gatekeepers have been ignoring Ron for years and years however he refuses to go away - as a matter of fact he comes back stronger every time!
Hasn't it occurred to anyone that she has a French first name: Michelle. Is she one of those cheese eating monkeys? Would America feel comfortable with a president that has a French name? I don't think so.
So what. Ever stop to think what kind of name the current POTUS has?

enthusiastic political fan = vote
Memorable 1st runner ups in history:
I guess you've never watched American Idol
I consider the man to be too old for the job since I am just over 1 year older than he is.
Lets just watch the Obama speeches once he really starts to campaign and see if we see all those young women screaming and fainting all over the place.
Ron Paul has a very young crowd. The followers
at Dr. Paul's tent in Iowa had quite a few folks 30 years younger than many of the other opponent's followers ...
He attracts the young for a reason. He does not have
stale thought processes
You'll still see the young women screaming and fainting
for Obama - they had been bused in before and they'll
do it again. You must be old enough to know
that old trick - they used it when Frank Sinatra
played the Paramount in '42
You may be one year older, but not necessarily wiser
