Perry: 'As president, I'll end Obama's war on religion'
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/12/07/9275131-perry-as-president-ill-end-obamas-war-on-religion
Rick Perry promised to "end Obama's war on religion" in a new television ad touting his socially conservative credentials.
The Texas governor, who's in the midst of an ad blitz in Iowa, said there's "something wrong with America" when gays and lesbians are allowed to serve openly in the military, but "our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school."
The ad is a play for Iowa's numerous socially conservative voters, who may have an out-sized impact in the state's Jan. 3 caucuses.

That was really interesting, thanks for taking the time. I actually keep forgetting about Santorum altogether. Another one where there doesn't seem to be much in the media.
Huntsman would have been my pick, but I hadn't heard his tax plan. He just seemed to be a little more moderate then the others. I still like Romney too...he hasn't been as vocal as the others about anti everything. Not sure about Gingrich. I know personally I could never vote for him based on some of his anti gay rights comments, but then again, I think that is where I would struggle with that party in general (amongst other things).
So if on the way off chance that Santorum, Bachman or Perry take the nomination, do you abstain from voting altogether or vote Obama? See I think that is the position many independents are going to find themselves in, even those that find themselves more right leaning. A few months ago I really thought this election would be Republican for the taking. Not so sure now. It will be one to watch though, no question.
I wish I could vote..lol. I mean, your President pretty much runs our country anyway...ha.

To explain how much of the military mess in the Middle East and our economic mess at home can be directly linked to the Reagan administration would take more than a few paragraphs. It took a professor of military history more than 200 pages. (Ret. Army Col. Andrew J. Bacevich 'The Limits of Power') Suffice to say that the concept of exercising military power to secure oil flow was formulated long before Carter but was largely implemented during the 80s - and that's way over simplified.
I like your analysis of the candidates, with the exception that Huntsman scares me less than Gingrich. I too am an 'Independent' registered as a Republican - but too often that's because I like to pick who I'm going to vote against in November :-) I voted for McCain in the Texas primary and might have voted for him in the general, except his choice of running mate showed him to be more of a puppet of the RNC than I'd thought him to be.
Best to you and yours for the Holidays.

"The only way I would even entertain the thought of voting for him is if he ran against Bachman or Santorum. So, in my opinion as bad as the GOP looks, I would take any of them over Obama excluding Bachman and Santorum"
I forgot to add Perry to the list.

I listen to people run Reagan down but the facts are, Reagan defeated Carter by a landslide victory, carrying 44 states leaving Carter with only 6 states. He was Re-elected by another landslide victory over Mondale carrying 49 states leaving Mondale with only 1state. His V.P. ran and won by another landslide victory.
I would like to know how this could happen if Reagan was that bad.

I do vote Independent but I am Registered as a Republican. In Louisiana you can not vote in the Primaries unless you are a registered Democrat or Republican. Since I tend to vote more Republican than Democrat, I registered as a Republican. In the General Elections I can vote Republican or Democrat.
This is how I see everyone so far but you have to remember we still have a ways to go.
Bachman- Last night she said, “Herman Cain had the 9-9-9 Plan, I have the Win, Win, Win, Plan” Makes me think of a Cheerleader with a 4.0 Grade Average that just did a Fat Line of Cocaine. Stick a sock in it and shut the hell up already.
Santorum- I don’t know why he is even there. I still haven’t figured out what his platform is. All I’ve heard him say is Obama bad, me Good and I am The Biggest Tea Party Conservative of them all. I can picture a debate between him and Bachman. Santorum- Your less Conservative than me, Bachman-I know you are but what am I, Santorum- I know you are but what am I and this would go on for hours.
Ron Paul- I know this is wrong but when I see him, he looks just like Jeff Dunham’s puppet Walter http://www.jeffdunham.com/#/walter I had an Uncle that I loved and respected very much, he was a brilliant man. He had Alzheimer's. He was a very interesting man to talk to but sometimes the Alzheimer's would kick in unexpected and would kind of freak me out. Ron Paul does the same thing. I listen to him and think “this man gets it” then out of the blue, Whoa, Where the Hell did That Come From.
Perry-What can I say. He causes me to have mixed emotions. One minute I feel sorry for him and the next I want to slap the bejesus out of him. I haven’t seen anyone drop that fast in the polls since Howard Deans 2004 Scream (If you don’t remember it, you’ve got to watch the video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BS4FGStiMB0&feature=related
Huntsman- I was impressed with him until I watched an interview with him this morning on CNN. Now he Scares the Hell out of me. His plan to fix the economy will destroy us. His plan is 100% opposite of Obama’s plan (if Obama really has one). The truth is, it is going to take us a long time to crawl out of this mess that both Republicans and Democrats share the blame in. Huntsman’s plan of radical Cuts and Higher Taxes will cripple us.
Gingrich- Oh how fast the Tides can Turn. Out of all of them (and as you can see “the pickens are slim”), if I had to vote today in the primaries, he would get my vote. Not that I’m excited about him but I would choose him over Romney. He does have a lot of baggage that may or may not come back to haunt him. My guess is Obama would much rather face off with Romney than Gingrich. I think in a debate Gingrich would chew Obama up and spit him out.
Romney- His campaign looks like a White, Republican version of the 2008 Obama Campaign, without the Pom Poms. He has the Look, the Charisma, and the Right Words. Like Obama, he knows to say what the people want to hear but they are nothing but hoopla. People got so caught up in Obama’s hype of “Change, Hope, and Yes We Can”, that they never questioned how. If you were to ask Romney to break down his plan and explain in detail how it would work, he would be Dumbfounded. He is just another politician and like Obama, I doubt he really has a plan.
Obama-Since I didn’t expect much from him, I can say he hasn’t disappointed me. Biden himself said “he would be honored to run with or against McCain, the Country would be better off”. He also said Obama was not ready to be President. This is who Obama chose for his running mate. I believe Obama is an inadequate President. The only way I would even entertain the thought of voting for him is if he ran against Bachman or Santorum. So, in my opinion as bad as the GOP looks, I would take any of them over Obama excluding Bachman and Santorum.

I don't think Reagan was intelligent, and I live in California where we had him as governor.
He was a good actor, better than most people thought while he was playing actor instead of playing politician.
He was handsome and delivered his lines well.
But left to ad lib?
Not intelligent, maybe funny, definitely entertaining.
