Something to keep in mind

[MikeBjerum]

If this keeps up, the solution will devolve to pulling something other than the lever....

Once again I point to then General, now Pres. Washington.

Santorum might be someone I can vote for.  I'll vote for Paul over BHO, Romney, Newt.

I will not vote for Romney or BHO in the election that counts.  Either one gets us to the same place, the level of the slippery slope is all that is different. 

We know better than to vote for BHO for the obvious reasons of being unfit for office.

Romney has the same traits except he has the blessing of the Republican Party elite (RINO's).  The RINO's take us for granted and will continue to disappoint...there's a track record of that.  Since in my mind the ultimate conclusion is the same be it Romney or BHO, best to not vote for either.  A vote for Romney supports the RINO notions, agenda and, most importantly, their unfair practices.

We need a candidate.  The Repubulican leaders need to understand this.  The only thing they understand is losing and having their noses rubbed in it...apparently.  I'm not playing their game anymore.  If I'm going to end up losing I would rather it not be because "my guy" stabbed me in the back.

I think they all suck!  I'm voting for my dog Harley!  Yes, he's probably a democrat because everything he needs he takes from me but, he keeps his mouth shut...

It's gotten to the point that it will get very, very ugly before it gets better!

I really don't know anything about Santorum and I disavow some portion of Paul's isolationist fantasy.   

Can we write in Michael Bane?  But only if we can get Walt Rauch as VP....

Santorum is a wasted vote, if he even lasts till your state. Personally I think he is a pompous theocratic A - hole, but what will kill him is money.
He nearly dropped out last week, if he doesn't get some huge influx of cash he's done.
That leaves Paul, who is also a wasted vote, even if he got elected he doesn't have enough clout to accomplish anything in Congress, he will not get any more done as Pres.
Although it would be fun to watch the Establishment go ape shit, or Newt .
You all claim to worship Ronald Reagan and then crap on the one who was his guy in the House, the one who got RR's proven economic package through .
Those are the same things he's campaigning on.
The hostility to him seems to prove my opinion of voters.

Rastus,

You fill in the blanks I left.  Obviously you and I think along the same lines - Must be good pizza in the veins

We can write in whomever we want!

The problem is that the most critical source of information for the majority of the voters is the TV Guide these days!  The ignorance of the populace is becoming quite evident.

Tom,

How is Santorum a wasted vote?  If he's on the ballot, he is a candidate.  If we believe he is the best choice we are voicing that opinion when we cast that vote.  To not like Romney but vote for him in a primary is to say we like him.  Vote for the candidate you believe in the most, and let your voice be heard.  The only time to vote for the lessors is when that is all that is left.  Maybe Santorum or Paul or Newt or Romney is a vote for the lessor, but the one you chose should be the one you agree with the most.

Remember that there are two major factors that have gotten us where we are:  One is special interest voting - voting just to get what you can for yourself; and the other is voting for who you think can win vs. who you really want or think should win.  Vote your conscience and don't look back at the what ifs!

The RINO's don't care if Romney OR BHO gets elected,...they care about getting the Senate back, and keeping the House. The want their pretty little Chairmanships, and Committee appts. That's their power base....It's all about the power...

The RINO's are counting on the true Conservatives to stay home and pout about the POTUS election,....because "they all suck" but my local, state, guys suck less....for Representatives and Senators....

Remember I think there are 19 Senate seats up for grabs, and 1/2 the House.

Don't sit out a vote for POTUS, and vote for "your" state "guy/girl".....

The gloves will come off if BHO is re-elected...and the DHS will be the new moderator of this website....

Not everyone.  I remember what happened when his AG did not challenge, and I believe wrote a brief saying why he would not challenge, retirement funds being owned by the company and not by the participants.  That cost me a lot of $$$'s...retirement is deferred income and if I hadn't counted on that retirement plan I would have worked somewhere else.

Next, Reagan did not truly "fix" social security.  He started the ball rolling with raising the $$'s per benefit required.  I agree people are living long and the ages needed to be tweaked up, but a lot of people who weren't looking who are entering retirement in the next 5 to 10 years are going to find out what it means to not pay out social security every year...the current level is about $110k income to payout for the year.  Benefits in relation to what our parents got for the same job history/pay will be much less in terms of maintaining the lifestyle our parent's had.

There are quite a few other things; I don't deify Reagan.  But among the most onerous was that idiotic penstroke on taking full auto guns out of the citizen's market.  He grandfathered MG's...but that limited the pool forever.
