Let me know when you have something to actually add to any discussions, until then save your childish behavior for someone that thinks you're "stuff" is cute or worth any further replies.
Only a handful of candidates have the executive experience needed to run a country. Obama didn't have it in 2008 and neither did John McCain. Bachmann, Paul, Gingrich and Santorum don't have it now.
And, there is a reason why no Congressman has gone directly from the House of Reps to the White House since Garfield (not the cat).
Well then you'd be a great supporter of Palin - you
must be heartbroken she's not going to run
Food for thought: JFK had no executive experience.
If one has "executive" experience in securing the Status quo that obviously isn't working - does that make you feel more secure about the direction leadership would take in the future. For me, it would have the opposite effect.
We've had quite a few military general types leading us:
To war again and again. Isn't that comforting.
How many bumblers have we elected to date.
Quit searching for something that isn't there...
I'm a Paul supporter. We don't have an identity crisis
Problem is he will not get the GOP nom. Romney will, do you actually think the GOP is smart enough to back Paul, did they do it in 2008? Will you support Romney even though he is the polar opposite of Paul?

Really, Tell me what is so different in Romney, Obama and Bush???
Heck ya, they are the total opposite of Paul.
You want to continue on the path to hell?
The anti-establishment will prevail this time around. The People are fed up.

Well, let me tell you - we have this little thing called
campaigning Folks actually go out and talk to other folks
about what the candidates - in particular - our candidate,
Dr. Paul, and what he stands for. We encourage folks to register
to vote in their Republican primary and we want them to vote for Ron Paul.
That would be one way Paul can get the nomination.
If we continually think we "have no control" over the
political machine and/or Status quo - are we not
individually to blame for it?
I have always thought George Bush Jr. was our worst
President. But, I have had to eat those words on more
occasions that I want to count... I don't like the taste
of crow Obama is by far, the worst President this
country has had. I actually welcome an argument with
Obama supporters as to why that isn't true, but they
never have a legitimate one...
IF, Romney would be the nominee of the GOP - I would have to
balance my convictions like I did in the last election
and vote third party (Libertarian) or weigh in the
damage that I think Obama/his administration has
done to this country fiscally and philosophically.
That might, if I was dragged - choke, choke -
vote for Romney(GOP).
It would be a protest vote, just the same.
The difference between now and anytime before, is, if
Obama is allowed to continue on the path he has taken,
I will be so disillusioned with the country...
Watching "Wheel of Fortune"leadership for the next
four years is frightening to me

And the alternative IS? See that is the problem, the right says he is not qualified and does not have the ideas to and ability to run this nation, but then they present people that are even less qualified for us to select from. I would rather stick with a known bumbler than replace him with an unknown bumbler that would probaly just makes things even worse. I voted for Bush in his re-election bid for exactly that reason and I am sick of it, I blame the GOP for their lack of quality when it comes to candidates and the Dems are not helping much either.
I dont really understand this line of thinking. There is pretty much every type of republican being offered right now. Who else would you suggest?

Well thanks for the in-depth and well thought out reply, and civil except that little opening jab, cute. Anyway. As I have said many times, Paul is the ONLY GOP candidate I am willing to give a second thought. I do not like what I have been hearing him say lately but there haven't been any show stoppers, Yet. So, while you may be convinced that Paul is the man, I am not totally on board yet. Let's see if he gets the nomination, I cannot help ya there, I am an Independent and have no say in Primaries, so pick wisely. I do no vote hird Parties since they have no chance of winning, just the reality of things as they are today, maybe that will change one day. IF Paul get the nomination, I think he Will stand a chance of winning, Romney, I doubt it, we already did Bush, and it was recent enough for voters to say NO THANKS, especially Indes. Oh and to add, OBAMA is not the cause of all the problems this nation is facing nor is he or any other leader the cure. Can they do some things to help, sure, but the cure lies with Us and the Business world. So don't count on the world changing even if Paul gets into office, it simply won't happen. I will say this much I will have a lot more respect for the GOP if they do nominate Paul, it shows there are still rational minds running the show there.

Who else ya got? Paul is not done yet, so he is ok, but I have concerns when it comes to the GOP leadership even being willing to pick him. Romney: ya might as well stick with Obama. Perry: Dead man walking, and not someone I would want running the Nation, I live in Texas and sure a heck know what he is about. Cain: not gonna get the nomination, pointless to discuss further. Newt: leaves a slime trail morally and will never get the nomination, too much of a liabilty for the GOP. Bachmann, the world isn't that crazy yet. No one else is even in the running. So there ya have it it is down to two candidates Paul and Romney, pick wisely and the GOP will stand a chance, pick wrong and the GOP is toast before the real race even begins.
seriously, i can't imagine why ANYONE would pick obama.
he has no respect for our currency, the private sector, or our sovereignty.
we are fighting too many wars, spending too much money, giving too much foreign aid, paying too much interest, with too much regulation and loss of freedom.
you can argue back and forth whether it was intentional or accidental, but he is damaging the economic future of the country.
