Presidential Selection by Default

How I see it.

Rick Santorum
His faith is admirable. His projection of it on others is unacceptable. Similar to why a Muslim Brotherhood candidate is unfit to lead Egypt this guy is for America. Next.

Ron Paul
Americans have become far too dependent on government to support this guy. Unfortunately many of his plans and ideas will come to fruition naturally when the sown seeds of spending and printing are reaped.

Mitt Romney
The republican incarnation of President Obama, all show-no go and flip-flop come to mind when describing both. Both ‘company’ men, that is government before individuality. The only thing separating the two is businessman v. community organizer giving Mitt an edge, should he get the nom, on a business-biased track.

Newt Gingrich
Since Dems despise him and the Republican Party is only lukewarm he becomes my pick by default. Never thought I’d have much in common with those who voted for Obama three years ago but low and behold we do; Hope and Change. Despite an ethics investigation in his Congressional background, critics are focused on him asking his ex-wife for an open relationship, obviously indicative of how solid his political record is perceived among his detractors. Not that it matters but did Newt dump the wife because he was denied an open marriage or because she was diagnosed with MS? Because of my own personal experience with my father, the Gingrich children standing by him is all I need to know. Should this guy get the ultimate nod then paybacks are a biatch! Hear that Nancy?

No matter who the victor in the GOP primary is, they will once again be running against an abstract. Obama will likely invoke his, ‘I know things are bad but would be much worse without me’ which, this time around can be followed up with, ‘yea, how?’ For instance how is the average taxpayer better off with all the bailout/stimulus money spent on failing banks including foreign, mortgage companies, solar companies including foreign and automotive manufacturers, instead of on them? After all, it is THEIR money and $3 trillion goes a long way. Even when split between all 140 million tax filers. $21,428.57 or 65% of the country’s median yearly income to be exact.

BTW How can you streamline the juggernaut known as the US Government, save only $300 million a year and not terminate or layoff anyone? After all $300 million is just over half the money given to Solyndra and the entire 10 years savings equal the money given to Egypt and Pakistan over a couple months.

^^^^^^almost as ignorant at blaming the President for his failures because of his dark skin.

BTW he's really not that dark, certainly not as dark as Cain who both racists cited above had no problem with.

Now Clarence Thomas? Well no. Racist Limbaugh supported him as well.

There are many things to dislike about Limbaugh, racism isn't one of them.

“We need segregated buses… This is Obama’s America.”

Limbaugh has called Obama a ‘halfrican American’ has said that Obama was not Black but Arab because Kenya is an Arab region, even though Arabs are less than one percent of Kenya. Since mainstream America has become more accepting of African-Americans, Limbaugh has decided to play against its new racial fears, Arabs and Muslims. Despite the fact Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law school, Limbaugh has called him an ‘affirmative action candidate.’ Limbaugh even has repeatedly played a song on his radio show ‘Barack the Magic Negro’ using an antiquated Jim Crow era term for Black a man who many Americans are supporting for president. Way to go Rush

”I think the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. They’re interested in black coaches and black quarterbacks doing well. I think there’s a little hope invested in McNabb and he got a lot of credit for the performance of his team that he really didn’t deserve.”

. [To an African American female caller]: “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.”

“The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”

“Right. So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela — who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing.”

“Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”

you be the judge

who are they? and what??

i'm not a republican party member-i don't belong to any party. i'd be the last person to defend limbaugh-but he doesn't speak for all non-democrats any more than jesse jackson is the spokesperson for all black people.

Why would ANY logical thinking person have ANYONE speak for them? These are idiots who sell you out to the first lobbyist who comes calling.

That is what you have a brain for.

Just to be clear ... you think that Rush Limbaugh is not racist. Is that right?

To change the subject slightly, pure true evidence-based thinking, as aggressively taught in medical cirriculums and used professionally daily for diagnosis, isn't taught in high schools any longer, IMO. The student taking advanced high-school classes may get some logic education in a bit of Socrates, but science, math and physics, and the pure thinking methodology that accompanies learning those disciplines in a more than superficial way, is in very short thrift nowadays. And it is a learned skill. Nowadays people seem to go purely on emotion, and facts or truth don't seem to matter much.
