Is there a Republican candidate you like?

[Tyrannical]

I'd still like to know who voted for Bachmann. Are there any logs for that?

I'd like to know if you voted for anyone on the list.

Ron Paul

[Warren Dew]

I'd still like to know who voted for Bachmann.

I voted for Bachmann, among others. If you watch her complete explanations rather than the sound bites that the leftist media offers, it's quite clear that her background as a tax attorney allows her to propose tax reforms that would actually work to get the economy moving again without losing revenue.

But hey, she's not racist and she has two X chromosomes; I'm sure some people feel that disqualifies her from getting their vote.

Tax reform would do virtually nothing for the economy anyways, it is spending reform and tax cuts you need.

[Svartalf]

Tax cuts? oh, yeah, because bush's (that have been kept under Obama) have done such a great job of helping the economy.
Remember, "tricke down economy" is a fiction at best, a bald lie at worst, and lining the pockets of the already super rich definitely is of no help to an economy that is fueled by the consumption of the less affluent.

You don't give Obama enough credit

Obama did far more to help his political donors.

As the list reveals, 80 percent of all $20.5 billion in Department of Energy loans went to President Obama’s top donors. Furthermore, some of those dwarf in size those given to Obama bundler George Kaiser, owner of the now defunct Solyndra.

While I disagree that tax reform would be worthless - tax breaks in the form of agricultural and ethanol subsidies, for example, do nothing for the economy - I certainly agree that spending reform is needed too.

Of course, Bachmann is one of the strongest proponents of spending reform and cuts - she was the one with the guts to point out that the government could still maintain it's critical functions even if the debt ceiling hadn't been raised - so that can't be why you don't like her.

[Schneibster]

Loans?

Really?

Really?

I gave a million bucks to Obama's campaign and all I got was this lousy DoE loan?

Snicker. The average IQ really is 100.

[Schneibster]

That's fucking pitiful; you guys can't even make up competent propaganda.

Ron Paul wanted the Fed to burn the US treasury notes they "owned" thus reducing the national debt.
I don't think Bachmann has the experience either domestically or in foreign policy to make a good president. And she seems to be a bit of a religious wacko.
Ron Paul seems like a good Christian to me, but he doesn't make a big issue of religion preferring to set an example by leading an honest moral life. You can't enforce morality through legislation.

[Schneibster]

In a recession caused by the fact the rich are holding all the money.

This, again, is why I call him "Wrong Paul" and say Libertardians know no economics. This is rank stupidity. It's not even ignorance; he's been told.

[amused]

This site perfectly presents the Republican politicians:

Her eyes don't look wild enough. Other than that, pretty accurate.

Wrong Paul?

He sure was right when he spotted the warning signs of the housing bubble back in 2002 and introduced legislation (that of course went no where) to try and stop it.
If he was right about the bubble and right about the root cause, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for being right about the solution.

Austrian economics which Paul follows is not fringe, Austrian school economists have won the Nobel prize before. It's just not the dominant school of thought, though it has become more popular in recent years

[rab]

Almost. You forgot the christard family values idiots.

For republicans in that block, Santorum is probably their best bet only because it's his identity. He's christian fascism first, followed by right wing corporatist economics. The other candidates are the reverse.

[Tyrannical]

Ralph Nader shows Ron Paul some respect, or does no one care what he thinks anymore?
