Looking forward to November 6, 2012

Is there an "other" category?

[Ridge]

Coburn or Salazar would get my vote in a heartbeat.

[Hoosier]

Ron Paul? Bob Barr?

[Bitter Clinger]

Tom tancredo!!!!!!!
Ted nugent!!!!!

Really though, I would like to see ron paul gain more support. The guy has (as far as I know) morals, a love for the country, supports the constitution in it's entirety, and has a bit more brain activity than a brain dead squirrel (which cannot be said for many politicians these days).

[Ridge]

Ron Paul is possible, except for his ideas of completely withdrawing our troops from around the world. Isolationism is not the way to run a country now.

I disagree - in the short term. Perhaps if we withdrew from these areas for a short period of time and stopped letting OUR troops die for these other selfish and ungrateful nations, perhaps they'd learn to appreciate us a bit and quit bad-mouthing us.

[Irving]

I'm also interested if Ron Paul is running again. I voted for McCain last time and felt dirty and used before I even left the voting booth.

[Hoosier]

There's a difference between doing what many people in other countries see as empire building and maintaining a presence around the world. No other nation has nearly two dozen naval air groups (between the CV's and LHA's). Any of these roll into a countries territorial waters and in the majority of cases it just became the largest air force in the region.

There are some things I don't agree with Ron Paul about, but the vast majority of views I do.

I think the problem Ron Paul has is that most of the GOP doesn't really want small government either.

Anyone else think we need single term limits on all government elected positions? Don't even give them the chance to campaign while in office. Don't even let them learn how to work and abuse the system.

SENATOR TOM COBURN, M.D., ENDORSES MARCO RUBIO FOR U.S. SENATE

Miami, FL


Quote:
"I proudly endorse Marco Rubio for the U.S. Senate and look forward to working with him in Washington," Dr. Coburn said. "His genuine principles and proven record are evidence that he will come to Washington and be a consistent advocate for fiscal responsibility, individual liberty and the traditional values that have made America great."
Quote:

"I have closely studied Florida’s Senate candidates and have no doubt that Marco Rubio is the only fiscal conservative in this race," added Dr. Coburn.

"Rubio would be a faithful guardian of taxpayer dollars in Washington and valued ally in the Senate. At a time when Washington is piling on crippling debt on our economy, the American people need Marco Rubio in Washington to stand up to this reckless behavior and offer clear conservative solutions.
