Obamas executive orders while they are questionably constitutional are morally wrong. We send our representatives to Congress to take part in the debate, not to do what ever the presidents will is.
Obama care has very little to do with health care and will eventually render our healthcare system into a second class society health care system. GO ask your family physician.
Our gov't is currently spending twice as much as it takes in. Every citizen is $48,000 in debt - I don't feel very secure. U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time
STOP THE SPENDING, you morons!

Except for FL Ron Paul really cleans up in the straw polls where people actually vote doesn't he? It makes you wonder why people give any creedence to the private polls at all. So far he's won California, Illinois, Ohio and tied for first in Iowa, right? He would have won Texas but Perry cancelled it because he didn't want to be shown up.

So the conclusion we can draw from this is that Romney and Cain are the front runners????????
I don't THINK so. Not if you call a spade a spade.

Because the media lies to you, does not mean the truth cannot be seen by those with no blinders on.

What's so funny about someone not being a quitter? If you support a candidate and their ideas, and nobody else in the race has similar ideas and a similar supporting record, why on earth would you stop supporting them?

Well, all the polls in the world won't mean doodley-squat if Ron Paul wins some of the caucuses and primaries next year. Given how the Republicans have gone for one flavor of the month after another repeatedly over most of this year, I think that sooner or later, Paul may be the another who gets it eventually.
If this happens close enough to Super Tuesday, I think there is a real possibility of his becoming the nominee. I'm not so sure that at this point, anything is unrealistic. If Paul has enough money to get his message out, I believe anything could happen this time around.
