If the GOP distanced itself from social issues, and counted military spending as spending I would vote for them. Â
Give it a rest. The GOP is such a joke. You clowns abandoned Ron Paul and anyone else that actually wanted to change things and ran a former democrat against Obama.. It's the GOPs fault Obama was re-elected.
 @Jamie And your solution is to nominate Ron Paul? A man who many believe to be a bigot and more than a little mentally unstable? You are entitled to your opinion but I regard it as sheer fantasy to believe that Ron Paul could ever be a serious candidate for the White House.

just wondering, what do you think of Ron Pauls ideas?
 @kramr I have never been a fan of Ron Paul because allegations of bigotry and mental instability have surfaced far too often for my comfort. In terms of libertarianism generally, there are many positives yet I think many take them too far. From time to time, I have voted for libertarians for local and state offices. I do not support them for national office as their foreign policy seems far to isolationist for my taste.
 @mikew  @Jamie sounds like you also are speaking of a once great president assassinated , JKF. He spoke of a secret society.what would you call him?
 @lee986321 I don't understand why you would think I was referencing JFK.
