If Obama could become the President than any Rep. candidate is qualified...they all have better records than Obama have!

A community organizer became the President, we all know how that turned out to be....
Everyone's qualifications should be scrutinized.

[seems normal to me]

I'm not bashing, I'm actually happy. All of the current GOP frontrunners are weak candidates. This is good news. There's still an opening for another GOP candidate to enter the race. I'm not sure who will, but there's an opening for sure.

Please. Like you actually care about the unemployed! I'm not defending Obama, by the way. I like the man personally, but I consider him to be a weak leader, but there's no way in hell I'll vote for any of the tea party folks. Ugh.

As long as they can fulfill the requirements of Article II, Sec. I, clause V of the United States Constitution they are qualified to RUN for President of the United States.

How silly they want to look and "unqualified" they are to BE President is entirely up to them and the public.

Liberals are a perfect "reverse barometer" for choosing a good candidate. They chose a community organizer with socialist affiliations and no executive experience as thier candidate. Now who in their right mind would choose such a candidate? To ask the "advice" of a liberal, given this history, would be ill advised.

Do you really not get it? The republicans need to put forth a better candidate to get the votes. It's not that we are "defending" Obama, it's just that Perry and Bachman are just terrible candidates that appeal to the rubes of this country who need nothing but a good soundbite.

Perry has a BS in Animal Science form a party school. I was shocked at his comments about immigration though. He made his money through Cronyism, and considering a prior Texan with similar Cronyistic tendencies, I don't know why Americans are so eager to jump in bed with this clotz.

Bachmann, who has a law degree like our current President, just demonstrated on TV that she has absolutely no clue what science actually is, and by extension is incapable of making a decision based on presented evidence.

In fact, any Creationist is by definition unqualified. If you can't side with
what the evidence says, you shouldn't be making decisions--particularly those that lead a nation.

Huntsman isn't a brain-dead mook in this regard, but he seems pretty unpopular. Will investigate why.

Ron Paul is a little too far into Libertarianism, which might be what the nation needs. But he's also short-sighted in some of his comments, albeit he's never really swayed in his position.

Romney has gutted, closed, and sold a number of business for personal profit. But also a JD, Harvard even. But as the campaign goes on, his business failings will come up, especially since the American people somehow believe business solves everything.

There really isn't any one good solid Republican candidate.

And Palin isn't running, thank god.

It isn't that Obama is great, it's just that the Republicans are so awful. This is kind of like 2004 with Bush v. Kerry. It wasn't that Bush was great, but holy **** the liberals couldn't filed a competent player.

:
Because they are bat ***** crazy, or they pretend to be, which is just as bad.

I don't care if you are a CEO of a fortune 500 company or the medical director at John Hopkins Hospital, if you have gone off the deep end and are a nutcase, you are a nutcase
