Meet The Candidates: 2012 GOP Thread

We need Paul to implement those monetary policies of his if we are going to get back to any semblance of fiscal sanity. Printing more money to get out of debt is totally illogical, but it is what we have been doing since I have been on this earth and even before my time. Russia and China are mining gold like crazy. They know the shit is going to hit the fan soon, and some type of gold standard is going to be setup.


I agree somewhat, but again i think its like starving the fat man. I feel like these are political ideals, not feasable options. You have to compermise and you have to be in the center and slowly strive for political ideals, otherwise your just wasting time imo

this made me LOL

Even i dont like her and think shes kind of scary, but shes cashing in on her brand like she knows exactly what shes doing. I dont think its all dumb luck.

Bachmann wins and Paul comes in a very close second.... Im telling you Libertarian views are more trendy then ipads right now.

Compromise can be done. Close the corporate tax loopholes, but at the same time cut the damn regulations on them. The regulations are also part of why US companies relocate overseas, not just to avoid the unions. It is a fact that it is easier to create your own business in Communist China than it is here. Venture capitalism is all but dead in America. Cut the damn spending on the stupid wars also. Damn, almost half the debt is attributed to these far flung wars that really serve no other purpose than to enrich Wall St bankers, whom we borrow from, and the defense contractors, to whom we pay the loan money to.

Tim Pawlenty has officially dropped his bid for the presidency. The field is 99.9% set, unless Sarah Palin just can't bear the idea of Michele Bachmann being in the spotlight.

The fact that Bachmann won Iowa says a lot about the people of Iowa.

Actually the wars have cost aroun 1.3 trillion which is about 10% of or dept. You say the war has enriched Wall Street Bankers and I ask How?

Stocks on oil/military industry.

He has only himself to blame. The really sad part is that he really tried hard to reinvent himself as out of the mainstream conservative only to reinvent yourself again. Should have kept it real from the get go...good to see another fraud bite the dust.

He did go out with a bang though:
