She is Representative Bachmann, not Michelle. It doesn't help his cause, since it just makes him look like a twerp and by association, the cause like that only a twerp would support.

But I guess that's just the eighty year old man in me.

If you can't look someone in the eye and explain to them why you hate them so much that you're going to trample their rights, you don't deserve any amount of respect. Bachmann got off lightly all things consider. If we lived in a civilized country, half the things Bachmann says would be political suicide.

No.

Well, Huntsman isn't so bad...

Romney isn't that bad either. Too bad they're both having to backtrack the good stuff to look just as insane as the others.

That's the problem with supporting a "moderate" Republican. The individual may be fine, but his or her election would bring the radical right to power as well. And why is Huntsman even a Republican? He sounds more like Blue Dog Democrat.

It's sad when supporting civil unions and not wanting to immediately blow up the federal government makes one a conservative Democrat.

It seems as if the GOP has become the SDS. Great Caesar's Ghost, that's it! The Leftist radicals of the 1960s and 70s have infiltrated the Republican Party and take it over!

Pawlenty has bowed out of the race after coming in third on the straw poll. Anyone surprised by this?

No. He was in a bad position. Too crazy for moderates, not crazy enough for the Tea Party.

Who will be next to drop out Cain or perhaps Huntsman.

Huntsman won't drop out until after the New Hampshire primary.

Cain? I have no clue.

Do they both have good positions?

None of the candidates are prepared for confrontation. The majority of the Republican candidates simply have never been very exposed to opposition in their face. Mitt Romney, being from Massachusetts, has been exposed to this, but now just succumbs to the majority (like RomneyCare). Rick Perry, we'll just have to wait and see. He seems to think he is a rock star to everyone.

I don't know. Bachmann and Paul are serving members of Congress and have stood for election more than a few times. Huntsman was elected Governor of Utah twice. Gingrich had a long career in Congress, too. I doubt a fear of confrontation is the problem. Looking foolish in front of the cameras is more like it.

Is the US ready for another Texan president?

Lord help us if Perry wins in 2012.

I'm a Democrat from Indiana, and I have the greatest possible respect for Senator Richard Luger. He's bucked the Republican party hierarchy on multiple occasions, and he has done a great deal of good as a politician. Not only do I think he's a moderate, but he has my full support.

by **Canadian Davsland** » Mon Aug 15, 2011 12:50 pm

Is Richard Luger in the GOP race, and what er his policies?

by **Periodspace 2** » Mon Aug 15, 2011 12:51 pm

She's mean.

by **Canadian Davsland** » Mon Aug 15, 2011 12:53 pm

Who's mean? And if your referring to me, I'm a man. :lol:

No, he's not running for President. He couldn't; he's much too reasonable to win the support even of most moderate Republicans. But he's a longstanding Senator from Indiana, and it is in that capacity that he has my support.

The IRS agent gets scared of a little fairy but is willing to shove a foot long hunk of meat down her throat... :?:

I actually support Michele Bachmann. Well, it's mostly because she is of Norwegian origin, but she still have many ideas I agrees with.

But not enough respect to spell his name correctly: L-U-G-A-R.

How could you? That psycho will probably not win the presidency.
