    Bottom Line = He's a Mormon.

    I just don't see the GOP nominating a Mormon even if he is the only one in this cast of fools that's electable. He's the smartest retard - if you will.

    Although we did elect the smartest retard twice in a row in America. Crap! :sick:

    What you say is true no doubt. However, we don't have to be militarily in the middle east, Japan, Germany and a crap load of other places:

    File:US military bases in the world 2007.svg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    to preserve this freedom.

    Read the 'Patriot Act.'
    Read up on the 'Department of Homeland Security.'
    Read up on US court rulings (including the supreme court) regarding rights and redress of individuals incarcerated and tortured.

    I actually agree with that. McCain and Obama are both tools of their corporate masters, as are all Republicans and almost all Democrats.

    However, just because I don't want to drink Miller Lite or Bud Lite doesn't mean I have to drink cyanide.

    We definitely need a strong third (and possibly fourth) party in the country. Unfortunately, even if they weren't a bad joke, the Libertarians (motto: "I got mine so screw you") don't fit the bill.

    I like libertarians' stance on social matters but their economic and environmental policies would be an absolute disaster. I don't really want to relive the economic roller coaster of the 1800's over again.

    Agree,

    Agree again, but that's because people see only republican and democrat.

    I could not believe that some senators and house members have been for 30 years in Washington, their voting record stinks and nobody bothers to check their voting record.

    Like Obama ( I prefer Mbamba for me he's like a clown) voted present for everything, but people felt of their chairs when he promised them " change you can believe in " and of course he just continues what the previous presidents started.

    That's why I thing we need somebody like Ron Paul to brake this chain.

    Libertarians want a free market for corporations.They want the freedom for corporations to screw the public without government restrictions .
    Theyre fascists who masquerade behind a guise of ending war and legalizing pot.

    You got to find balance. Some things should be run by government but not to many. In US already government does to much, and that translates in more taxes. Go to gassbuddy.com and look at the gas prices maps. In all democratic states the gas prices is higher with $50 cents than the rest because taxes for the social programs.

    Everything that government does is done inefficiently and that translates in more taxes.

    The only thing I would love to happen is health care for everybody, but I'm afraid to let government do it, because I saw that done in my country by the government and also in other European countries and the government does a very, very poor job.

    Sorry, but we have the illusion of free markets, but indeed between subsidies, regulations (both good and "bad") monopoly or near monopoly capitalism, our markets are clearly not "free" .

    Mig, you exist in a naive fantasy land.

    Not here man. In my country was no racism like here. That is your problem from what I see.
    My best neighbor is black, and my white neighbors I guess are too smart for me because they are Americans and I am Immigrant.

    So try this somewhere else.

    Yes and please do not fix my Quote's; They don't need to be fixed.

    Who cares!!!! It is 2011, not 2012. Election is way too far away. 6 weeks of campaigning is all that should be allowed. Now lets just argue other things.

    Ah yes, the "I'm not racist! I have a black friend!" gambit. I suppose my check is in the mail, too.

    Also, I fixed your quote again. It needed to be fixed.
