I don't know what we will face when we replace Obama. His supporters are already defacing and trying to disrupt and destroy Wall Street with his full damn smiley-faced approval.Well said, Becki, although I think that Perry's biggest problem is that he really hadn't prepared for the race.
I think people around him told him it would be a cakewalk and it turned out to be a slog.
Can he recover? Maybe. There is still a vast hunger for a "Anyone but Romney" out there. So it depends on how Cain deflates and if Gingrich can fill in the gap.
Not playing fairly has gotten them so much ground against Bill-of-Rights freedoms, I hardly see how they'd play fair with the next inhabitant at 1600 Pennsylvania, and that's something we must as a people prepare for--dealing with and overcoming chaos based on abject misrepresentation of American history.
They hate the military, when we should be electing Presidential leaders from the military who are vetted in upholding the Constitution and providing for the common defense.
We're electing presidents who have never had the experience of seeing American blood shed in facing down and fighting an unfair bully or of seeing a buddy come back from a POW camp, maddened by the madness of their tortures and pure evil against Americans.
We shouldn't be looking at anyone who doesn't have a firm military participation in defending America to run for President. We might as well just draw a name out of the hat of citizens worldwide and insert them into the presidency as putting in someone who hasn't had to follow military orders. It's a disaster.
I'm angry about back east schools snubbing ROTC college type groups and banning them from their campuses, like only brainpower can overcome an enemy. That is not so. Military might is required in this world of mad-dog regimes.
How in the hell do they think they came into the luxury of having free speech except by the blood of those who died ensuring the blessings of liberty and the Bill of Rights upon them? Four years of Americans will think Obama's magic wand gave them freedom of speech, if they have any left after him and his punk Commie kitchen cabinet have anything to do with it.
This "anyone can be president" stuff is not based on love for this nation. It's based on love for castles-in-the-air thinking that doesn't put bread on the kitchen table.
I wonder.............exactly WHO in the current crop of GOP candidates has actual military service?
Oh yeah........that idiot Perry.
As far as requiring actual military service to be president? Not a bad idea, but only trouble is, most politicians TODAY have never even been close to a recruiting office, much less served a full term.
Yeah, I think it's a good idea as well, because before deploying troops, you should at least have an understanding of what they are going to go through (other than publicity trips to war zones), but, in this country, we believe ANYONE can be president.
I disagree. Because then it becomes, "What did you do in the military?" Would the Coast Guard count?
Hell, I'd be more in tune of making sure each person running for President was at once a teacher, a cop, or a firefighter than making sure they had military service.
Good to see Becki abandoning Perry somewhat though. I guess the ship has sailed...or sunk in Perry's case.
