<p>Eh, don’t waste your keystrokes. I’ve been saying that but no one on cc believes me.</p>
<p>TheDad-How can someone with your cynicism, and your thoroughly researched positions be so enamored with Hillary Clinton? Is it that you agree with her ideas so much that you’re willing to ignore her corruptness and greed, or is it that you’re genuinely ignorant of the fact that she’s at least as corrupt and disingenuous as every member of the Republican Party? (excluding Ron Paul of course, as I consider him to legitimately be an ethical politician)</p>

<p>I say Romney wins Iowa, he wins the nomination.
I say Huckabee wins Iowa,SC, and one non-Southern state to show he’s credible outside the Bible Belt and he can take it.
Guiliani needs to hope he can stay relevant till Feb. 5 and he can win big states. I don’t see him winning any early states unfortunately so he will die out. </p>
<p>THEDAD’s analysis on the Republican field was ok. Mine I think was said from a little bit more of a neutral standpoint. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’ve read some of theDAD’s opinions and he seems like the kind of centrist who probably fell for Bush in 2000 and 2004 and just can’t still bring himself to vote for a Republican again, but isn’t really a liberal so he votes for Clinton.</p>
<p>Giuliani is pretty much done…I think enough people have realized that he’s a fraud and is as close to reelecting GWB as you can get</p>
<p>Not much action here on cc this morning…I guess everyone is over at the Ron Paul 2008 website donating. It’s fun to hit refresh every few seconds and watch the ticker.</p>
<p>Gottaloveucla, please take the time to make 2 clicks before you say Ron Paul is advetising on Neo-Nazi websites. If you clicked the link you directed us to, you’ll see that it’s a third-party article (stormfront itself) that reused his campaign slogan and page design. That is not an ad paid for by the Ron Paul campaign and has no official connection with the campaign. Ron Paul is not a neo-Nazi but would protect the first amendment rights of bigots. Insert Voltaire quote here.</p>
<p>Also, I don’t see how you can justifiably proclaim that you “HATE Evangelical Christians” and then condemn stormfront. I want a candidate who will stay the heck away from regulating this board and stormfront, even though I only post here and think neo-Nazis are severely misinformed. Ron Paul will get my vote if he’s on the ballot, if not, I’ll vote Libertarian. I think you should check your language. Think about if you changed the words Evangelical Christians to Jews or Muslims or Infidels. You certainly have the right to say what you did but I think it shows a severe weakness on your part.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how the Democrats are going to pay for their proposed spending programs? I’ve heard all kinds of wild statements and looked at the cost of universal health insurance and I haven’t heard a decent explanation yet. Rather than pointing at Bush every time, I want to hear what it’ll take to balance the budget and avoid an economic meltdown. What’s the point of social welfare programs if the government isn’t going to be able to afford them?</p>
<p>Check out Candidates @ Google on YouTube if you want to see what these people are really about. An hour with each candidate instead of lightning rounds and hand raises. I’m a registered Independent and dislike the Republicans as much as I dislike the Democrats.</p>

Curb thy impious keyboard. I <em>never</em> voted for Bush and would consider that I would have to do massive amounts of atonement to expiate my sin if I had. I wrote-in in 1972 and worked on staff for John Anderson in 1984. My error error was in being only moderately full of angst after 2000, to some degree buying into Bush’s “compassionate conservative” bullfeathers. The political response of Bush and the Republicans to 9/11 has radicalized me to the extent that I seek nothing less than the destruction of the current neo-con infested Republican party as a political force. I don’t think we’re safe as a nation as long as they have any prospect of remaining in, or gaining, a power. Nor do I trust the Domionist wing (would-be ayahtollahs) of the Republican party.</p>
