>Nothing about this is going to be easy<
You said a mouthful right there. I know that between Obama playing the blame game .. the media not wanting to admit what a pos he is or how they have backed him this whole time. That they will attack anyone who runs as a conservative and the money that will be pouring into Obama will be monumental.
I am betting that the attacks that come out this election cycle will be second to none as far as dirty politics go.
It will be an uphill battle the whole way for sure. But as i said, in such a climate as we have politically, people are very VERY upset. They will want a stark contrast between Obama and anyone. That is the person who will win.
Yes he is, however those are not the requirements to be President on the US.
Senator yes, POTUS no.
Good one!
1. Romney WON in 2007. Never mind that he didn't "compete" in this one, you would still think there would be a fair number of those 31% who voted for him around. There is no way for his camp to spin this - his support there has evaporated.
2. By my rough math, it looks like there were ~14000 votes cast in 2007. Several thousand more were cast today. That's a healthy increase, and thus a good sign.
I like that.
Congrats to Congresswoman Bachmann on her win today.
I am glad we’ll get to see her continue on from here viable for the time being.
She may not remain in for long, but I do like the idea of her pushing Conservatism in public for as long as she can.
Seriously?
I think Rick Perry may be our next President.
I'm sorry Pawlenty placed as well as he did.
Santorum did better than expectations.
I don't think this straw poll will "thin the herd" this year though.
IOW, it really doesn’t matter who wins this....the GOP machine has already picked their guy.
Hey guys,
Good finish a this straw poll, but it is just that, a straw poll. Considering that Paul and Bachmann bought many, many tickets to the campaign, they really didn’t do a whole lot. Guys like Santorum and Cain did well because they got raw intensity votes...they didn’t have to get a ton of tickets to secure a victory. The Iowa Caucus will be a better gauge.
“The Government of Cuba does not recognize the U.S. nationality of U.S. citizens who are Cuban-born or are the children of Cuban parents.”
Am I missing why we should care what the government of Cuba has to say, or why US law or election law should hinge on irrelevant statements coming out of Cuba?
Ya think O’Romney will get the hint???
That might work for me.
Way to go! Bachman 2012!
In 2009 & 10 the Left declared Open war upon the American way of life, liberty, and perhaps most pointedly our pursuit of happiness.
On that day conservatives began to declare war upon them, and take this fight seriously. This is no longer a matter of simply beating them the left. This is about destroying them, ripping them to spreads and sewing their ideological lands with salt so that nothing ever grows there again!
Its time to end the era of communist wealth redistribution, to build new systems of completing checks, balances, and relieve valves(limited testing chambers) to help prevent them from ever growing into a serous force against our rights or our children’s rights again.
This can be done, its just a matter of thinking our actions and plans thou. Setting human nature against human nature to balance our our darker and even (some of our foolish lighter) impulses.
To secure the blessing of liberty to ourselfs and our posterity we must see to it that our system of goverment takes advantage of and works with Human nature to maintain a balance of freedom rather then trying to control & suppress the basic nature of men (human nature).
This is our charge, this is what we must do to win the war in the long run. This is what our forefathers attempted to do(with significant success), and this is ultimately what we must understand if we are to restore what they once had.
Absolutely! Anybody who can be a mother should be president! That means I should be, too. Shucky darn, missed my chance.
Bachmann will be on Face the Nation, and probably some other Sunday talk shows. Maybe all of them. :)
