  Jon Huntsman was the only grown up in the room with Ron Paul as a good second choice. I also thought that Gary Johnson was a good choice. If the GOP thinks that parading Marco Rubio or Jeb Bush across the stage and think that America is not going to see through the thinly disguised veil of catering to the hispanic vote they can expect more of the same results as this past election.

  No I don't like either of those either but I want to be able to tell the difference between my candidate and the ones we are running against.
  
  How about an actual Conservative? Huntsman and Paul are neither. Rand is closer than Ron although Rand is libertarian, I will take that.

  rhamsonposted 11 years agoin reply to this
  How did that work out this past election? You are making my point exactly. America resoundly rejected the right and put Obama back in. He appealed to the left and secured the hispanic vote that sent him over the top above Romney. Unless the GOP learns where the electorate is or can gerrymander the vote to sway towards them, Hillary will be elected. The country wants to be in the middle and the GOP is being taken over by the extreme right. Romney was the would be conservative that was a chameleon everybody saw as really to the right. I agree that there has to be a degree of conservatism in the mix but unfortunately going for all conservative and no compromise is why we are where we are now.
  Huntsman made sense and Paul was right for real change.

  Huntsman made a lot of sense! Too bad the far right rejected him. The GOP needs to get off the social conservative wagon and stick more to fiscal issues. With the state of our economy, gays getting married, the legalization of pot, etc. should be the last things people are worried about. Personally, I support both the things I mentioned, but even if I didn't, I'd place my concerns on the back burner until the economy, jobless rate, and other financial issues were solved. BUT...I'm not a politician. Thank goodness!

  Well maybe our problem is we have two parties and that make them feel there should be a difference so people can tell.
  When you talk about Huntsman I get the feeling you want someone who will agree with the Democrat party. So let's do away with the Republican party altogether and just have one party and select someone from there.
  
  Agreed?

  No, I actually voted for Romney - because of fiscal issues. The GOP needs to take the pulse of America. Most people I know don't give a hoot if gays get married or not, and that includes every Republican I know. I'm saying the Rs need to draw a contrast between the way they would handle things like big spending and deficit spending versus how a D would handle them. Fiscal issues should be the focus - not whether John and Sam or Suzie and Jane want to get married, whether a gay man should be allowed to serve in the military, or whether people can legally smoke pot. When they talk about such social issues, they're losing sight of the all-too-important fiscal problems we're facing.
  
  Oh, and as far as "agreeing with the Democratic party," I want a politician who WILL agree with the Ds when the Ds are right, instead of disagreeing just because they're the opposing team.

  Is that what your leaders are really supposed to spend their time being concerned about?
  Have you heard North Korea lately?

  Gay marriage should not be an issue we think is top of mind for a President or a candidate.

  People not having equal rights in this country, being discriminated against under the law will always be the biggest problem we face until it is fixed, the foundation stone of any country has to be a solid set of values and liberties.
  North Korea and Iran both deny their citizens basic rights too, it's about time we stopped.
  
  Also Seriously neither Iran nor NK is any real threat to the US, any attack by either would spell their certain doom.

  I should have been clearer. My "bigger fish" didn't include Iran or NK. I'm more concerned with the financial health of the US - as a whole and for individual citizens. Our decifit is too big, too many people are jobless, too many people are homeless, and too many are hungry. Iran and NK are not at the top of my worry list. I'm not saying, however, that they don't concern me at all. Certain death is not always a deterrent for some groups.

  What's your point? That one cancels out the other with ideology? The ideology is the same. All the slimebags want to do is make money. Don't you get it? That is where the whole system has been steered for the last 200 years when we got professional politicians to supposedly represent us. As long as you play into their game of us and them, they win. Have you noticed nothing changes. Gas prices are just as volatile as they were in the 70's even with the subsities. Farmers were and now corporations are paid to not grow certain crops. The wars are never ending while the military industrial complex expands every year. The jerrymandering of the vote is the same as when it was instituted loosely in 1812. If you want to continue the bickering about party idelogy and who is right and who is wrong and who you think will represent your interests you better first get a healthy bank account so you can put some skin in the game to further your agenda. Otherwise just sit back and watch nothing happen.

  Looking at what you want to have happen and getting it done are impossible with the broken system we now have. Money is the vehicle by which everything is based. We need to take the money out of the equation to get true representation.
  Term limits, publicly financed campaigns and lobby reform are our only hope. As long as we bicker over the samantics of ideology without fixing the system why bother as you say.

  I can talk to either side until I turn blue in the face and even if I sway them to either side nothing will change. The two party system is at the heart of the issue. The professional politicians do what they want to further their agenda and the rest be damned. Just look at who contributes to their campaigns to see that they have no allegience to anybody but themself.
  Your argument nips at the tail of the problem and not the head where the problem is. People have opinions and the politicians know that as long as they keep the sheeple wrapped up in it they can act in autonomy.
  Term limits, publicly finnced campaigns and lobby reform is our only hope. Take the money out of the equation if you want real change.

  Why do we need a conservative as President? Is it fair to everyone else that we have a leader who is predisposed to hold only one side of any argument. It is like going in front of a biased judge. No matter what the case involves there is only one answer in his mind. That is what you get with a leader who is dedicated to one view. If we were all the same I would say that is a no brainer but we are a nation of many differences and compromise is what unites us. You can see what biased thinking has us in now.

  You really have only one way of looking at things. The reason why we have what we have in the White House is in response to the nonsense you keep blathering about. If you try to swing the vote one way what you have is a backlash as we now have. No agreement, no compromise and no government. If you stepped back you could see that. Instead you cry about what we have instead of how we can make it better. Your only thought process is that it MUST be your way or it will fail. We have to live together but as long as you put all your effort in one ideology this is what you will have to live with. How is that working out for you?

  Government is nothing like hiring someone. When you hire someone, they are legally obligated to fulfil their contract. When you vote in a politician, they only have to do as much to keep their electorate happy, or as the case may be, mildly dissatisfied. They can violate all their promises if they darn well want to, who is to stop them? When their term finishes, all their party needs to do is persuade you that they have some new, better people who will do it right this time, even if the previous 9 or 10 were the same, and despite the fact that they're bought by the same people. It's a fraudulent system.
  
  All we need to do is stop cooperating with it. Stop paying taxes, stop signing up for the military - refuse to associate with the government just as you would refuse to associate with a business if it had committed the same crimes.
