I sure hope so. Give Paul the nomination now and spare us the drama.

That is so precious. I get it though...I like Kucinich. (but I have realistic expectations)

 

[Liberty]

k, and I have principle. And I'll stand by it for as long as I can.

 

[saveliberty]

Bachman is going to own you guys.

 

[rightwinger]

Hmmm...BOTH Bachmann and Paul


Doesn't get any better than that

 

[Truthmatters]

If you run Bachman you will seal the history of just how insane this current republican party is and your sound defeat in the next election.

Christie/Cain, Go Bigger and Blacker in O 12!

All I hear is fear from the left.

Next best thing to Romney dropping out. Get rid of the faux conservatives.

 

[MeBelle]

Don't let the door hit ya!

I could never vote for a 'man' who treated a female the way he treated Bachmann during the debate.

Disclaimer: I am not a Bachmann supporter!

Bachman will continue to fade, as she is already...

The RCP average indicates she has already jumped the shark.

T-Paw had the trouble of being a 'green republican' as well as not casting a commanding presence. Romney=lite isn't going to cut it in this race. Face it, he cannot take over a room with his personality which you pretty much need to be elected president. I think the last one who couldn't do that was HW Bush, who won based more on his resume than anything else.

Not to mention he was the weaker of the two Minnesotan candidates despite having the more advantageous position of being a governor with an okay to good record to run on.

Bachmann just outshined him.

People being individuals in a free society. You're right, that's insane.

You know what's funny Truthmatters is how for the last decades liberals said the problem with Republicans was social conservatism and you tagged them as being the party of Robertson and Falwell and how scary that was. The story was that someone fiscal conservatives weren't so bad if they just weren't saddled with the social conservatism.

Now that the primaries are being dominated by actual fiscal conservatives suddenly your story changes and THAT is the real threat and you're rabid about it. OMG, less government! They are insane!!!!! I always said your priority was socialism, you constantly prove me right. That is the religion. As libertarian I've always been disappointed that you never cared about the ownership of our bodies part. You support abortion then ignore the issues that affect the majority of Americans, particularly the war on drugs.

I don't think Bachmann will get the nomination, but given how badly the Community Organizer has screwed up the economy, the GOP could run the Cheney/C'Thulhu ticket and win at this point.

Why vote for the LESSER of two evils?

 

[JoeB131]

The unfortunate thing about T-Paw (who was my second choice after Perry) is that he never made an effective case.

The case he should have made was that he was a conservative in the state so liberal it gave the country Hubert Humphrey and Walter Mondale, and yet he got elected twice, was able to work across the ailse and get things done, and could win even in a year like 2006 when the GOP brand was toxic.

And just how many times do we need to learn that having a great ability to run one's mouth has NOTHING to do with being a good president.

Meh, that joke is so old. I remember those campaign signs from 1992. Let's hear it for GenCon whackiness infecting college campuses.
