Candidates:
Former Florida governor Jeb Bush
Neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson
New Jersey governor Chris Christie

As always, keep to the rules of the forums, and keep the conversation civil. No slurs based on names or party affiliations will be tolerated.

Let the games begin!

am I the only republican here?....

No, it hasn't. The primary season doesn't begin until next January.

The candidates have already begun campaigning is what I mean.

I Stand With Rand. Not because I have any interest in American politics, but rather because I love that he is using that as a rallying slogan. For that reason, I do hope Rand Paul becomes President of your rather large nation.

Not a republican, but whoever they field had better be good or we're looking at a very bad next four years.

Ugh. Just imagine. Chris Christie versus Hillary Clinton. Just shoot me now.

I expect that any Republican that earned my support would be cast out of the party in disgrace.

Rand Paul is too busy being Hypocritical while Marco Rubio is too busy trying to get the Gays to vote for them (kind of failing at it too).

Not kidding with the last part.

RON PAUL 2012

Herman "Ash Ketchum" Cain had better run again.

No, Cain was an embarrasment because of his immoral sexual lifestyle.

Ron Paul is a traitor who hates Israel and supports Iran Russia and North Korea. Besides, thank God, he is not running this time.

Not proven, but I doubt he'll be making a comeback.

That wasn't the only reason he was an embarrassment.

Ron Paul forever! His son is a traitor to the family name!

Ron Paul was ordained by God to lead humanity into a golden age of prosperity and space travel and you spat it back in the face of the divine

you could have listened, you had a chance

Only Huntsman or Ose could win my vote.

You have to tone it back a bit, it's too obvious

Wow, if you think Huntsman is a leftist... I don't even want to know what you think is conservative.

For those who are wondering to why I consider Jeb Bush to be such a left winger here are the reasons.

He supported the murder of Terry Shiavo, opposes a federal marriage amendment, supports contraceptive and abortion, and supports amnesty for illegals. He also supports affirmative action, opposes English Only, supports common core, hates business, and wants us to "respect" the homosexual lifestyle. Furthermore he refuses to call out global warming as a hoax and he supports forcing parents to inject their kids with poisonous chemicals. And he is an evolutionist.
