He is "goofy"??

I can only guess how you would describe Bachmann and Perry.

Bachmann = talks too much

Perry = says the wrong thing when he does talk

I am not an actual supporter of either, but of the two I would take Bachmann.


It's so amusing when Democrats want to choose our nominee. Let us choose yours and see what you end up with...lol.

. . . and the net result would be an Obama re-election. So you might as well just cast your vote for Obama and be done with it. If you want someone else to vote for as a "protest" vote, there are typically 3 or 4 third-party candidates to choose from.

Isn't it though. Where are all their threads about potential Democratic candidates who could primary Obama?

Actually, if you read the thread you would see it is about Huntsman running as an Independent and not who the Republican nominee should be. I am not a Democrat I am an Indenpendent. I would like to help choose an Independent candidate.

Please keep up.

I think he may have a chance to win as an Independent.


Have you noticed all the staunch Obamabots, calling over and over lately, for a third party Conservative, to split the vote and ensure Obama a win.

Ross Perot proved that idea doesn't work too well.

How about Hilary Clinton run as a third Party independent?

Why, is she any different than Obama? A third candidate would need to be different than the other two party candidates.

Yes, you never hear that from the media or Right wing pundits. They would rather paint him as a liberal, which he certainly is not.

And if you had read the post I was replying to, the poster said they could see what I have to say abot Bachmann and Perry...so I told them.
