If I had a gun to my head and was forced to choose between Obama & Hilly babe, I'd go with Hills. At least she faces the flag with her hand over her heart during the anthem.

That other terrorist should just head over to Iran.

Gotta say it's almost better than Huckabee.

"Change", IMO, is a slogan that targets the dumbest element of the voting population (which also happens to be the majority, so it's not a bad tactic). I challenge you to find a candidate who is for continuing what Bush is doing. Even if they don't say it outright, find someone who has a policy platform that matches Bush's.

Every candidate is for change. So then the question is what change(s) are you for and are those changes for the better or for the worse (sometimes, change is bad...most of the time when the government does it). If you just want change, might I suggest JPC...

BTW, does anybody know what changes Obama is for?

He wants to change his mailing address to 1600 Penn Ave.

It's sad that all our elections turn out just like the South Park episode where the kids vote for a new school mascot. They wind up having to choose between a giant douche and a sh1t sandwich. One kid doesn't see the point of voting to choose between those two choices, but his dad advises him that in every election your choice will probably be between a giant douche and a sh1t sandwich.

I guess I will be voting for Romney

Rudy and Hillary are like bird's of a feather. They are the same with different plumbing. Rudy is a Dem in disguise.

I believe the Repubican candidate wil be facing Obama, and I believe Obama's youth will carry it for him if he comes up against an old man like Mccain.

I think Romney---although I dont like him---can beat Obama.

I have no trust in any of the candidates, they are all liars and all have changed their view as often as the weather changes.

That remains to be seen doesnt it? Its what makes horse races.

My first rule is ,anybody but Hillary.

As a Republican I want a candidate with a good chance of beating the Democrat.

As an American I want a President who makes and carries out policies that help my country ,that helps our economy ,that protects our sovereignty. that protects our borders,,that punishes criminals,that stops the genocide of American's unborn, that protects the sanctity of marriage. That stands up to foreign dictators when they threaten us with a nuclear catastrophe.

I will watch and listen and decide in November, but right now Romney appears better in most of those categories.

I don't want just any old Republican. And I AM NOT voting for Romney or McCain. If they beat the Democrat, then suck just as bad as the Dem would have (possibly worse), what's the point of that?

Rather than that, I'd like to see Obama or Hillary get it. Then, if they suck, the Republicans take over Congress. And I'd rather have a majority in Congress than a Republican president.

Not always true. Maryland went GOP in 6 out of the last 15 elections. So, don't count yourself out. The way this election is going so far, I wouldn't rule out anything.

Yeah, I don't understand the self-defeat. The only way to ensure that your vote doesn't count is to write in a joke vote. Even if you write in someone that you truly believe in, your vote counts as far as I'm concerned. Just because you lose, it doesn't mean that your vote doesn't count.
