“They are willing to overlook agree with his fatal foreign policy flaws.”

Well good point; some do. But many haven't really thought through what he is saying.

[Reily]

I remain skeptical that any President can cajole Congress into doing something that takes away its lollipops!
A view this as political pandering.
For example the amendment that provided for the direct election of senators was a “bottom up” phenomenon. (”Gilded Age Tea Party” in action maybe!) Though in this case this “tea party” did harm in the long run.
I will vote for Perry if he is the nominee.

Well that’s just great. Let’s just keep fighting amongst outselfs so Romney or Paul can win.

Are you saying that we should only align behind one candidate at this point?

I don't want Romney or Paul - I think against Obama, either one of them would lose while the rest of the Republicans could win, but if we are going to unify behind only one candidate, you'd have to sell a lot more people on Gingrich. I say let it play out. Paul will fade after Iowa and Romney will not get about 25% nation-wide.

Sarah Palin must really enjoy seeing the word ‘retard’ whenever she stops by this site...we can disagree with Paul’s foreign policy, but ‘retard’ is hardly appropriate.

I didn't realize this was a politically correct website...

Paul will probably get a call of encouragement from Obamski just like Perot did from Clintoon.

If you dig into the surveys on this new poll, you’ll see something sad. Newt is -13% on people thinking he has strong principles. Romney is +5%. People think Romney has stronger principles than Newt. It can only be explained by the negative ads and the lack of a simple ad showing Romney’s random collection of radically changing positions as is readily found on YouTube.

Liberals won`t vote for 0bama?? Not buying it. They`re just posturing... liberals love 0bama more than life itself. They`re just not admitting it openly.

My point was that liberals I know (family) that voted for Obama have told me they will not vote for him again. Additionally, some are sending me conservative information, that they are now just discovering. While one might surmise they are tweaking me, such behavior is not in their character. I see a landslide coming in November. And it won't be for Obama.
