Perry's not a Mormon, that might be all it takes. Whomever can motivate the majority of republican voters to get to the polls, is the best choice for them I think. And, regardless of the personal antics of Perry, Bush was enough of a Texas Christian cowboy to get people out to vote in two elections, with quite a few skeletons in the closet. Perry is a more convincing cowboy than Reagan or Bush, to me.

Republicans are stirred up as ever to get out to vote; I give Perry the edge, if nothing else because he meets basic Republican requirements; their only other real choice at this time is Romney, and Mormon doesn't fully meet Republican requirements. In addition Perry's style matches the anger on the Republican side better than the softer approach of Romney.

Allen West is my pick because of militiary experience and he is a life long republican and a Tea Party favorite though I dont like the Tea Party the GOP does know how to use them well

If Mitt Romney were Evango-Fascist rather than Mormon, he'd have a very good chance. Against Obama, he would sweep the South, and run competitively in the North.

However, his Mormon religion, coupled with his attempt at health reform in Massachusetts, guarantees that he will not win the Republican nomination.

Their loss. So sad.


Republicans are dead set against any sort of health care reform, and want to undo the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).

Mitt Romney does seem to be on the defensive, having introduced "Romneycare" to Massachusetts, and feeling obliged to attack PPACA, but only being able to do so in a relatively weak way, to avoid appearing to be too much of a hypocrite.


Dude, you may not care about your Constitutional Rights, but I care for my Rights.

Obamacare's Individual Mandate is unconstitutional (or else that means you and I have absolutely no rights), the Democrats deliberately left out the severability clause, so if the individual mandate is unconstitutional, the courts are supposed to throw the entire 2000+ pages out.


The fact Huntsman, Paul, and Romney are doing well in the poll here, are actually good reasons not to go for them (and I'm not running for elected office anyways). Most of the people voting here are far left, a few are center left, and only a handful are center-right. The United States, despite what leftists would like people to believe, is a center/right country.

What we need right now is someone whom can not only beat Obama, but can also undo the damage. Huntsman and Paul are total idiots when it comes to Middle East Foreign Policy, could Huntsman wise up, possibly, but Paul probably can't. The idea of Iran getting their hands on a Nuclear Weapon is completely insane. The idea of handing Iraq to Iran on a silver platter is insane, and the idea of letting Al Qaeda have Afghanistan is completely insane.

Right now, I think the best option is Newt Gingrich, because he balanced the Federal Budget, the fiscal fiascos occurred after he left public office. Everyone screaming about his marital problems really are being hypocritical because they would support Bill Clinton in a heartbeat. Furthermore, unlike Bill Clinton; Newt Gingrich did not lie under oath before a Federal Grand Jury.

You are insulting a retired Colonel from the US Military. Your comments that he's insane is way out of line.

@ Joker
Allen West isn't running, so we need to look at who is in the running.

Allen West is not only insane in his personal and political life he is, a War Criminal
(West was charged with violating articles 128 (assault) and 134 (general article) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
was Convicted, and retired)
His remarks about Keith Ellison were bigoted to the extreme.
and he voted to extend the "patriot" act.
the Guy is a real nut job.

I do not see why Allen West should not be just as cruel as nature.

Anyone who sees and paints a sky green and fields blue ought to be sterilized.

Allen West is a Patriot.

Any military whose purpose is not the intention to wage war is senseless and useless.

Allen West took the fight to the Terrorists I have no sympathy for them so what he did was.

Justified and for the greater good of america only the weak feel sorry for the emeny.

How far are we willing to go to control the Middle East short of just basically conquering the whole region?

I tend to feel like we need to tap our own energy resources and get the f**k out of there.

Keep in mind that Allen West is a black conservative and a war veteran.
This is an abomination to the left since it breaks the mold they have set.
If he were to run for president he'd get my vote.
I could care less what he did or didn't do to any terrorist in Iraq and in reality neither do his enemies in this thread, it's just that they have to have some kind of dirt.........

Nor does Obama.

Sure.
