Last month Jimmy Fallon reported that 50% of Americans supported Obama and the other 50% intend to run for the GOP nomination in 2016.

I am waiting for one of these guys to switch teams.

I welcome another clown for the GOP car.

Who pretends to love Jesus the most while acting/speaking like Caesar?

Who hates science the most?

Who wants the wealthiest to continue to prosper the most at the expense of the rest of us?

Just muddying the waters to pump up his ego. Don't like or trust the man.

Another bomb throwing control freak, he'll fit right in with the other candidates (both R and D).
Funny how people act as if there is some substantiative difference between them all.

What the hell do all you so called Americans fear?

If he can raise the money I say let him into the contest and may the best person win.

He is not someone I would pull for but so what.

When did we as the Nation of ideas become so damn fearful of them.

George Bush Sr and George W Bush were both moderates. It astounds me that everyone forgets that fact. They kinda both won the national election. By today's standards, Ronald Reagan would be considered a moderate as well.

Who was the last "true conservative" (by today's standards) to be elected President?

Calvin Coolidge

His first message to Congress in December 1923 called for isolation in foreign policy, and for tax cuts, economy, and limited aid to farmers.

Skillfully played by Huckabee. He announced that he might announce his candidacy for president on May 5th. So now he can sit back and watch and listen. He gets to test the pulse of the GOP and America to see what they think. I doubt Huckabee knows if he's running yet, but he'll know by May 5.

To me, he came off as too religious and an anti-Mormon religious bigot in 2008. His time on Fox News has actually vastly improved my opinion of the man, which is pretty ironic. Can't say I'm likely to vote for the guy, but I'm willing to be convinced otherwise of course.
