People need to wake up and vote for honest candidates with a history of supporting the ideals they espouse during their campaigns. Blindly loyal partisan voting will ultimately be the death of this nation.
Right now all we have is the lesser of 2 evils with all the {R} candidates {except Paul} or Obama. If Paul does not win the nomination I will vote 3rd party, I refuse to vote for the lesser of 2 evils. Being on the winning team is unimportant to me but doing the right thing and being principled is.

They don't like him because he belongs to a cult, even though they are cult like in their own ways.

Romney is GOP's best candidate but I am afraid that, by the time the primaries/caucuses are over, he will have been dragged so much into the mud and stuff that it's going to be an easy Obama win.

The Kochs are not Tea Party. They donated to the opponent of Mr Tea party of the Senate Rand Paul. Of course anyone who actually follows politics knows this.

I do not think common sense is part of the equation when it is all said and done the {R}s will sell their soul and support the lesser of 2 evils and vote for Romney.
McCain is yet another Democrate wearing a repub suit. He admitted his anti gun stance long ago, and to me that puts him off the list.

I don't know Mitt's stance, but I suspect he is anti gun as well. In any case i won't vote for him on a bet. I don't care for poly tics from Mass or NY. If Mitt wants my vote he's gonna have to buy me one hellova nice rifle, and place it in mmy hands personally calling it a gift.

What would you say the chances of that might be?

I'ld say 0 in 0000000000000000000000000 chance.

I'ld have better luck seeing Hell freeze over.

Too bad Huey Long is dead. There is a Democrat I could support.

I'm seeing the strategy (candidates go after Obama, organized groups go after other candidates) but I'm not sure I like it. If, in the next debate, they don't start emphasizing their differences with each other on experience and positions, it will be my last debate. Sometimes I think they are all running for Vice President, afraid to ruin their chances for the Number 2 spot.

They took over the Tea Party. Once Palin got on their bus all was lost.
