Hell, you could run the gamut with the Republican nominees.fish82;1040843 wrote:Can we talk about someone other than Rick Santorum? This thread is starting to bore me. For instance:
Man, that Newt is really fat. I mean, he's starting to give Chris Christie a run for his money. Is America ready for a POTUS so obnoxiously overweight?
Discuss.

How do you reconcile the fact that Mittens currently runs between 5-7 points better than Paul in the head to head polls vs. Obama?Cleveland Buck;1041305 wrote:If Romney is the nominee I will vote for Gary Johnson or write in Ron Paul. The Republicans would obviously want 4 more years of Obama if that were the case, so they will get what they deserve.

What is so dangerous about his foreign policy? And has our recent foreign policy made,us any safer or less likely to be attacked?
Not that simple anymore. Now a days declaring war against a country does not happen, while utilizing force against nonstate actors and providing deterrence (conventional, nuclear and asymmetrical) requires using forces quickly and effectively.pmoney25;1041300 wrote:It is amazing that Ron Paul gets all the praise from conservatives on fiscal/domestic policy because he believes in the constitution and individual rights/accountability yet he gets destroyed for wanting to follow the constitution on foreign policy.

Anyone using a nuclear weapon is going to be a rogue organization that stole it or somehow got it and not a country so retaliating with a nuclear weapon wouldn't make sense at all.

Paulists amaze me. They know deep in their heart of hearts that Saint Paul has zero chance of winning the Repub nomination and even less chance of becoming POTUS especially if he runs third party.Cleveland Buck;1041305 wrote:If Romney is the nominee I will vote for Gary Johnson or write in Ron Paul.

I actually like what you said there.believer;1041565 wrote:Perhaps we deserve to endure another 4 more years of Obama. Maybe THEN a leader even stronger than Reagan will rise up out of the quagmire and finally bring us real hope and true change.
Mitt Romney is the guy I want as President. I am not joking. I think he's do an excellent job if people simply held his feet to the fire a little bit.rydawg5;1041451 wrote:I have yet to come across 1 person who has said "Mitt Romney is the guy I want to be president" or even "Mitt Romney is who I'll vote for in the primary" -- The only thing I ever hear positive about him is "he is better than Obama" - But how can he lead polls when seemingly no one likes him or is there 1st choice?
So is that your biggest, or only gripe? Certainly that alone is worth not voting for a man, I agree. But he's stated that he hates Obamacare and that he doesn't like national plans.believer;1033031 wrote:If Romney takes the White House and helps eliminate the piece-of-crap legislation commonly known as Obamacare and then asks the states to come up with their own plans, I'll be the first to sing his praises.
I can't quite put a finger on it but there's something about Romney that makes me uneasy. Nevertheless, I'd still vote for him in a second over the buffoon in the White House.Tobias Fünke;1041691 wrote:So is that your biggest, or only gripe?

Don't you think that a guy like Romney (who is accused of doing anything that is popular, at the time, with policies) would act to remove Obamacare? He's not a fool--I mean, he did get an MBA and a JD from Harvard at the same time haha. Do you really think he'd leave it in place? Really?
And how does your view change if and when the Supreme Court shoots the whole damn thing down? Suddenly is it all a big non-issue now?
