It's only like 2 and 1/3rd years from now.

meh. People will always find something to complain about, no matter who is elected. Pick your poison. Even if you didn't like Obama...what if Huckabee was his opponent? From his past, it seems like Huckabee has something against gays and will make it harder on them if he's President.

Yeah and being mean to gays will be the breaking point for this country. I read that in OK! magazine.

I think we have a lot of other things to worry about as a nation. The first several are all financial in nature. Get jobs for the people. Cut taxes so they actually have some money left over after they work their asses off. Cut MANY wasteful government programs, and for God's sake start to PAY DOWN THE DEBT so as to eliminate it as a concern.

Anything other than "trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see" - as this administration's policy has been described - has got to be a better idea.

The fact that there are still people who think you can cut taxes to reduce the deficit is scary to me. Obama has done the former, no one who was elected was going to be able to do the latter in this climate. I love the "get rid of the deficit!" refrain without any specific explanations of how to do so.

i agree and disagree. I agree that there are real big problems in this country that need top priority.

I disagree that gay rights shouldnt be a set aside until other things change.

How hard could it be to appeal DADT and DOMA? Pretty damn easily if Republicans wouldnt stop being d-bags and homophobes.

Its a big issue to the 10% of the population that care about their partner the same way you care about your wife (if you are married - dont know)

He's probably a 1TP, but are any of those retreads really better alternatives? Palin? Really? And I'm supposed to take this poll seriously?

[joeydb]

Gingrich is a very bright guy. I think he might do a good job if he gets the chance.

Gingrich is too friendly with Nancy Pelosi

Americans hate phoney republicans
real ones they love but RINOs not so much

Romney: the Christian right has already refused to vote for "a member of a cult" (Mormon)

Huckabee: Publically said dinosaurs and humans walked the earth together (an earth which is only 6,000 years old). Gets the above vote, not much else.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's down to Gingrich vs Romney at the convention.

Gingrich, much better alternative. Romney, a better alternative.

Huckabee, eh. I'd just stay home and let others decide.

Palin, my dog Bugsy is a better alternative than her. I will vote for Obama if Palin is the nom.

Good lord, at least there is still SOME sanity left in the world.

While I disagree, I understand why some people would vote for a Republican against Obama next time around, though at this point I'm really starting to consider just voting for a small party and letting everyone else decide because I'm getting sick of him too. Two years after getting to know Palin, it scares the hell out of me that there is even ONE person in this country who would vote for her, let alone enough to elect her potentially.

Argue Obama's inexperience all you want, but at least he has SOME grasp of the issues. Sarah Palin has exhibited not one ounce of depth or understanding of complexities on even one single issue in two years in the public eye. And how that is not terrifying to people is absolutely beyond me.

[Antitrust32]

Her and Jesus are tight... thats why the tea party people love her.

I dont think there is any way she will be on the republican ticket.

After quitting her post as govener, she basically surrendered any possibility of holding a public office again, IMO. No way a quitter should even be allowed on the ticket.

She should stick to her current job of Fox News Entertainer and Twitter Reporter.

What is terrifying is having Eric Holder as AG. It is terifying to have an Attorney General who doesn't care about the law and just does whatever he feels like doing. He has no problem with sanctuary cities. He thinks it's fine for cities to snub their nose at federal law and ignore immigration laws. That is fine with Holder. But when states try to enforce federal law, Holder sues them and has the gall to say these states are "interfering with federal law".

And then there is the case of the guys intimidating voters in what a long-time civil rights activist called the "worst case of voter intimidation he had ever seen". But Holder dropped the charges simply because of the color of the defendants skin. If that's not terrifying to you then I don't know what is.

While Holder may certainly have problems to worry about, the Black Panther thing being one of them, this post is just too rich top to bottom.

When "states" try to enforce federal law he sues "them?" Them and states are both plural. Examples please. Or are you just trying to make it sound worse than it is to try to score a point? I bet the house on the latter. It's what you guys do.

And who was the last attorney general? And you're worried about an AG who doesn't follow the law and just does whatever he feels like doing?

Consistency will surely never accidentally be listed in the "plus" column when discussing the conservative mindset.

Thanks for a good laugh, Rupert.
