    It doesn't really matter. They are all Bought and Paid for. I don't trust any of them.

    I've lost all faith in the political system. It needs a complete overhaul.

    Someone who isn't a career politician/political figurehead. It's the only possibility of any change.


    Merry Christmas!

    I agree with this as well. But will vote for anyone other than Obama, including a third party candidate if they are to my liking.

    I'm in favor of what Mitt Romney has been saying thus far. Obviously he isn't me, so I can't agree with everything he stands for, but his ideas for cutting back the big government and curbing the debt are the most extreme I've heard yet. Gets my vote.

    It doesn't really matter. None of them will do what they say they will do. It's not like Obama has really done anything.

    Exactly. They're saying what they believe the American public wants them to say in order to get elected. In reality, once one of these strokes ends up in office they'll do the bidding of the people, organizations and businesses who gave them the money to get elected in the first place. While doing so they will fail to live up to campaign promises, and find a way to spin it so that they blame the opposing political party. Neither Romney or Gingrich is worth a damn IMO.

    If Trump runs as an independant I may vote for him just out of pure resentment for the establishment. In which case Obama will probably be reelected and we'll be in for another 4 years of the GOP/Tea Party whining about him being the worst President ever, while the economy continues to stagnate and nothing gets done.

    Part of me hopes Obama wins re-election and Paul Ryan runs in 4 years.

    He has pissed off the tea party:)

    Say what you want but the work he did with the auto industry here in mi has done a lot for people here. Auto industry is going to add 200,000 jobs in years to come.

    Obama and his czars are doing plenty that the media will not report, his refusal to defend DOMA for one, and his justice department is a threat to our countries sovereignty IMO.

    They are all losers cut from the same cloth. When Christie decided not to run I stopped caring. Every stiff on the stage will be a slightly different version of Obama.

    Worst president this country has seen in a long long time and the right can't come up with solid opponent. Sad.

    They ALL want to spend now.......they act as though they HAVE to......who knows?? With all the people they owe, maybe they do!!


    Push reset and hope she reboots.

    My opinion mirrors much of this.

    Except.. I'll (with a huge lump in my throat) likely vote for Obama. Not that I agree with much of his presidency or his administration.. but if given the option between Romney or Newt.. two corporate fools or the incumbent who's biggest obstacle is the hot air of the GOP.. this long time Republican will vote Democrat.

    The GOP has let me down with their constant 'do anything to not let the democrats win' vote. What a bunch of bums... the dems don't even have to do anything in the race for president but watch these strokes battle it out and send their own voters fleeing to the other side. Get rid of SS.. are you joking?

    A reform must be made to eliminate the.. lobbyists.. and corporate funding that goes into these campaigns otherwise the American people will always be the loser. I don't foresee that happening.

    Viva La Revolution.

    The HUGE difference between getting a RINO in the office and another 4 years of Obama is the appointment of Supreme Court Justices.

    If Obama can get in another one or two more liberal leaning judges... then the Exectutive and Judicial Branches will just be one limb.. working together, Constitution be damned. This is just what FDR did to get his policies into place.


    I hate Crony politics and I'm very disappointed with our choices but I would die before I voted for Obama. Seriously. This country is bad enough as it is.... please don't push it further into the grave.

    Obama is one the biggest Cronyists of them all.
