Meet The Candidates: 2012 GOP Thread

dont include me in that. my memory is a lot better then yours. old W left enough of a bitter taste in my mouth to last a life time

Of 415 historians who expressed a view of President Bush’s administration to this point as a success or failure, 338 classified it as a failure and 77 as a success. (Moreover, it seems likely that at least eight of those who said it is a success were being sarcastic, since seven said Bush’s presidency is only the best since Clinton’s and one named Millard Fillmore.) Twelve percent of all the historians who responded rate the current presidency the worst in all of American history, not too far behind the 19 percent who see it at this point as an overall success.

Maybe "monetary policy" is an obsure subject.....

LOL @ "the crazy guy that doesn't know much"

The idiocy is quite rich!

I wouldn't underestimate Bachmann at all. If she does well in Iowa or outright wins, which is possible, that almost certainly puts her in the discussion for VP. In a way that Sarah Palin wasn't, because Bachmann is a sitting member of Congress and voters are getting to actually know her and her policy positions as opposed to parachuting into the campaign in the final stages like Palin did. And if she can do well in Iowa, I would expect her to do well in South Carolina too.

I think minimizing gaffes and staying away stuff like where is New Hampshire (sarcasm) will help her a lot. I dare say her biggest asset is that she's authentic and that goes a long, long ways when people are picking candidates.

I don't know if there are any TPaw fans here, but if that guy can't look Mitt Romney in the eye and shoot straight about healthcare, then he sure as hell can't shoot straight with a dictator who wants to wipe us off the map.

he sure as hell can't shoot straight with a dictator who wants to wipe us off the map.You're right, he'll never be able to shoot straight with Obama. :D

great (scary tho) vid, LOL at saden's and also the "guy that cries all the time".

I actually had to read that twice - I'm not so quick these days:)
