    I am a believer in the idea of how the media will ultimately pick the candidate by swaying popular opinion. Things come out about presidential candidates that would NEVER come out if they were seeking a lesser political appointment. Politics are dirty as hell at this level. People on your side of the aisle tear you apart...whether their accusations are true or not.

    Aside from cynicism influencing my belief, I believe independents will decide this election. The hardline conservatives, for the most part, will unite behind the GOP pick out of their sheer hatred for Barack Obama. I do not believe the stories about the Tea Party witholding it's support at large for a progressive like Mitt Romney. They will still show up. The independents (and undecided Dems and Republicans) will rally behind his positions easier than a Michelle Bachmann because the biggest voting block of this nation is still center. Maybe slightly center right, but that's debatable.

    I would maintain the position that Barack Obama won in 2008 because his message SEEMED good for the economy and John McCain did nothing to distance himself from George W. Bush, but that's probably because he was no different in the first place.
    ...
    It's the political parties that will decide who runs. The Republicans are worried most about someone like Ron Paul running as an Independent because they remember what Perot did to them in 1992.
    Right now... it's time to play to the Republican base.

    I see no clear distinction between the media and the actual party establishments themselves. It's all one single, horrible, liberty-killing juggernaut.

    The Republicans are no longer Conservative at all. Hence, their decision to prop up a Mitt Romney or a Newt Gingrich.

    he is a joke......but, sadly, not to everyone. Some people think he would make a good president. That's how fucked up our system has become.

    You could say that about every republican candidate for any office any year. They try to hold the middle class and poor down the entire time they hold the office and try to make their friends as many millions as possible. They also have this thing where they think they should decide who a person should be attracted to and try to tell woman what to do with there bodies....just to name a few.

    W was a puppet.. a tool.

    He should NOT have been president. Not because I don't agree with his conservative views, he was actually a pretty moderate conservative, so there were a few things I was ok with.

    He lead us into an unjustified war based on lies and being mislead.. I truly believe he had no evil intentions, although thousands lost their lives ultimately because of the decisions he made.. And Obama could just as easily have been in his place.


    That said, I'd still have a beer with W.. He might get a bitch smack at the end of the night, but I hold no hatred towards the guy.. He would have made a better car salesman than president.
