The problem I have with Santorum is he is a fiscal liberal/Social conservative. That doesn't appeal to me. When I take political tests I score almost the polar opposite of him as I am a fiscal conservative/social moderate.

Default Rubio is a joke; young, stupid, and regressive

Rubio has no more business being considered for the presidency than Charles Manson.

He is a part of the collective disaster that is the current Republican party and the regressive Conservative ideology. Most shameful segment of this country since the Confederacy. He doesn't stand a chance in hell of beating any Democrat. No chance against Biden and no chance against H. Clinton.

Republicans, if you hope to make a better showing in 2016, you better re-create yourselves. You must somehow deceive people into thinking you are DEMOCRATS.

Really? I don't think you are right, simply becasue by then, hopefully most of us will have realized something has to be done. Look at Newt, last year, in Georgia and look at his stand on immigration?Look at how popular Perry is or was in Texas and examine his stand as well. Of course a lot is still going to depend on who the other candidates are..

The problem that the GOP has is all of its new, young, and bright talent has already been premiered under the Tea Party brand. As the Tea Party brand gets more and more dimmer all the politicians who debuted under that brand will not run well against an older seasoned Democrat.
The GOP should be looking for new young bright standard bearers for the old Republican party.

I doubt he would win over the local dog catcher. Anybody that talks about any kind of amnesty is not someone I want in the White House. Romney was ahead until he started courting the Hispanic vote. They need to be put on a bus or plane and escorted back to where they are citizens. Period.

After Hillary stood over the caskets of dead bodies and blamed their deaths on a film, she would not even beat the local dog catcher. I would have voted for her before she did that but I would not vote for her if you paid me a million dollars after that. Not that my vote is for sale, but I just want you to know how angry that act made me. It was enough to make any true American throw up.
