The extremes of either party are dangerous.

Where is our "middle America" guy or gal ?

LOL!

Considering "conservative" states are the largest per capita consumers of adult entertainment (guess it's dirtier and more titillating the more taboo it is).... I think Bachmann is going to have a tough time winning support!

Which is, for the most part, sadly true. That's why the GOP, after the 2010 Midterms, decided to go after gay marriages, abortions and the likes...

It is possible to care about both. Just because libs are willing to throw away their morals to get ahead doesn't mean conservatives are.

Gingrich and Romney are probably the best they have. But neither appeals to GOP conservatives.

So much for individual freedom, the First Amendment or small government.

If this group does not want to read or display porn no one is forcing them to do so. If they are offended by a display of Playboy at the news stand, that is too bad. There is no guarantee that everything will be inoffensive.

I can only hope this group forces one of the main stream Republican candidate to sign their sacred pledge.

gay marriage?

not to mention everything obama has pushed through in the last 2 years, including the stimulus and hcr.


Has it occurred to anyone that signing a pledge is not equal to making it a cornerstone of her campaign?

So, she's effectively vowed to redefine the First Amendment. Now, THAT's what I want in a presidential candidate...
