America, prepare to be liberated.
« on: January 21, 2008, 12:36:35 AM »
Candidate - Votes - % - Delegates
Mitt Romney - 22,649 - 51.10% - 18
Ron Paul - 6,087 - 13.73% - 4
John McCain - 5,651 - 12.75% - 4
Mike Huckabee - 3,616 - 8.16% - 2
Fred Thompson - 3,521 - 7.94% - 2
Rudy Giuliani - 1,910 - 4.31% - 1
Duncan Hunter - 890 - 2.01% - 0
Total - 44,324 - 100% - 31

What's more, Paul is the only Republican nominee besides Romney who won a Nevada presinct.

This better a sign, or at least an omen he'll end up another Perot.

And Giuliani, give it up. When Thompson and Paul both beat you nine-hundred eleven times, the game is up. Drop out.

I saw Mitt Romney on Jay Leno last night. If America picks another Republican, Mitt Romney is the one we need. I like him. If Clinton is the Democratic nomination for president, I'm voting for Mitt Romney.

It'll be a Democrat president.  Bush really screwed things up for the Republicans for a couple of years now.

I've read an interesting article, "Americans are tired of political dynasties". I think it's filled with crap, I don't think you're tired at all, but who knows, you tell me.

The Bush-Clinton-Bush-(Clinton?) thing is just a funny coincidence. Pundits overevaluated it. I'd be more upset on how Hillary is a tree-hugging commie liar hypocrite than how she's the fourth in a pattern.

Clinton recently said her favorite president was Ronald Reagan. Yeah. Reagan. Right, Hillary.

She's pretty far from "tree-hugging commie", no so much from "liar hypocrite". So are most of any other candidates, but I just think it's weird republicans still associate religion to their campaigns, sent by god to rule America.

You're kind of right on that.  It depends on how "right-wing" the person is.  The more conservative a person seems to be the more they associate God with politics.

We all know that it will be Obama that will win the elections and be the next president of the United States. No one is going to vote for Hillary becuase she is too inhuman. She has no personality.

I would hope so, anything but Bush, but I fear it's not going to go that way Canada...

Bender, you're getting conservatism wrong. Bush is NOT conservative. Reagan was conservative. Conservatism is about small government with maximum freedom, that's guided by morality - not even neccessarily religious "morality". Today's "conservatives" are about large government and least freedom, and they tend to call classical liberals, neo-liberals, libertarians, paleo (real) conservatives, etc. etc. "hippies". I'm as sensitive about people calling Bush conservative as communists are about being called communists.

I'm personally tired of political dynasties, but I can't speak for a large number of Democrats in this country (not to mention Republicans, because you know they're grooming Jeb Bush's son for the White House.)  Well, if they like.  I recall an old quote about nations getting the rulers they deserve, and this rule never holds true so much as it does in a democracy.

I imagine we wouldn't agree on a lot in terms of public policy, but I do agree that the neo-conservatives are a nest of poisonous snakes.  The people in Washington who played the greatest part in putting the US in its current position should be charged with treason.

You aren't funny anymore when you use 'communist' as a curse for any political right-winger who leans a bit to the political centre Myro...

Clinton is not a "centre-leaning right winger". Have you SEEN her economic policies? They are literally, totally, European-Scandanavia socialist. I'm not joking around here. And this is a fact, so don't give me the "Well, what's so bad about socialism" because I'm not trying to say it's bad here. I'm telling you that Clinton's economic policies are completely socialist.

So what do you call the bible-belt?  I call them right-wing Christian Conservatives.

I never said I thought Bush was conservative.  For someone who is supposed to be a republican, he's done 180 for what they were supposed to stand for.
