Bachmann's the only one likely to win on your list.

If it's anyone other than her, Santorum, Pawlenty, Palin, or Paul, the Tea Party will be pissed off and not vote.

That narrows the list down a bit.

The Tea Party has their head up Fox New's ass, and Fox News is obsessed with Cain so I wouldn't be surprised if they voted for him.

Cain would get slammed in any real election, though. So, if they want to nominate him, that's fine with me.

None...honestly, most of them are either too insane, too extreme, or too unknown to really have a chance. I'd potentially back Romney depending on his running mate, but he has no chance because he's a Mormon and that would turn off a lot of religious right bigots; of course, given how incredibly damaging the religious right has been to the Republican party and the overall well-being of our country I wouldn't be hurt to finally see them break away from the Republicans once and for all. In fact, that would probably help them quite a bit.

Oh, yes it is! Absolute monarchy, established religion, nationalism and regional autonomy at the same time, obsession with old legal charters, and extreme cultural and social conservatism are all perfectly legitimate beliefs for the modern Republican.

My main problem with GJ is he doesn't want to (or hasn't yet stated that he wants to) end the war on drugs. He says he wants to legalize weed and tax it. Which I am against. I dont think it should be taxed.

"Never be deceived that the rich will permit you to vote away their wealth." - Lucy Parsons
Socialism is an economic system characterised by social ownership of the means of production and co-operative management of the economy. "Social ownership" may refer to cooperative enterprises, common ownership, state ownership, citizen ownership of equity, or any combination of these. There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them. They differ in the type of social ownership they advocate, the degree to which they rely on markets or planning, how management is to be organised within productive institutions, and the role of the state in constructing socialism.
