A more conservative president? Good grief ! How much more conservative can a neanderthal be?

How two Welfare states NH and IA decide how the rest of the nation votes. I for one am in favor of getting rid of the electoral college. Let us the people vote, how we were intended to vote by majority elections. And not by a bunch of drunken fools that make asses of themselves in the national political conventions. We don't need this system of electing our presidents anymore.No more red and blue states just one White,Red and Blue Nation. That is how this dumb, stupid president of the USA cheated his way into office. He is so dumb that the vice-president runs the country. Please Congress grow some back bone and throw both their butts out.
MY POOR CONSTITUTION HAS BEEN ABUSED BY TWO CROOKS

i'm sure half of these people don't know what conservatism is……

When I think about the next election here from Canada (I am American), I left because of Bush's policies and have decided that it took one Clinton to clean up the mess left by Bush, Sr., now we need another Clinton to clean up Bush, Jr., in a bigger way. In this case, it will take 2 Clintons. Barak Obama should be Vice-President, with John Edwards as Secretary of State.

"Ending hypocrisy could lead to truth, which could lead to peace." – Troy Upham, 2007

To set the record straight because most people who use the term neo-con or neo-conservative has no idea what that means. The neo-conservative movement was started by liberals who became disenchanted with liberalism. They wanted to become more conservative but had been liberal for so long that they couldn't renounce some liberal tendencies. Now don't jump to the conclusion that made them moderates because they aren't. They are a hybrid group that don't really fit in with anyone else, but remember they started out as liberals and finally saw the light. At least they saw some light.

SUPPORT MS HILLORY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT FROM NEWYORK

I think back to 4 and 8 years ago and all the people I work with who vote Republican and hailed Bush as the only viable candidate for President from either party. They seem strangely quiet this time around. Their only remarks as things wrap up here in NH are in disbelief regarding the fact that a minority or female candidate can be a front-runner. How blind were these Republicans for 2 terms while their choice led our country astray in the international arena and got nothing accomplished domestically? Did they really think the Bush administration left any chance for Republicans to succeed? I hope more people continue to see that committing to a party and always voting for that party needs to become an old-fashioned idea. It is this "Independent" minded thinking that opens each one of us up to elect the best candidate. It is NH that will show the way.

*know — what can I say, George Bush is probably smarter than me too

Wow Charles, great logic string there, you should run for president because you MUST be smarter than GW Bush too. And, I'm sure you know enough about Obama to make that statement too. Oh wait, you, like all the other dem lemmings, no nothing about Obama except that he is a tremendously nice guy (which I don't doubt). Keep voting with that head of yours bud. I hear Ron Paul is looking for supporters.

garrett

such as?…………………………….

DR.NO

I was reading an interesting article today that highlighted many of Dr. Paul's views from the last several decades. Some of which was rather frightening. I suggest you take a second look at this man before you shout from the rooftops for him.,…..ANYONE BUT RON PAUL

The fact that Bush got elected the second time tells me how unsophisticated Americans are in general and Republicans in particular. Bush was selected by the Supreme Court in 2000 but was actually elected in 2004. He is the dumbest President that will ever ruled America in my lifetime. If Bush won two elections, in my opinion, Obama should be next President because he's smarter than GW Bush.

Why would anyone vote for a candidate with less than 8 years of political experience?……hell, it takes at least 2-3 years in office to just learn the ropes and start to make alliances with your fellow legislators.
How much experience does hillary, obama, edwards, thompson, huckabee and romney have?…….Add it up, and i think you'll find the total to be in the general area of Ron Paul's years in Congress.
Do any of the above politicians have his steadfast, consistent record in there short terms as a professional politician?
Will any of the above risk their parties backing and their fellow legislators ire because its the right thing to do? You know he will!
DO NOT LET THIS ELECTION BE WON OVER BY SLICK "LIP SERVICE" and "CATCHY PHRASES"
Want changes…..get up some nerve and vote for the straight shooter……………………..RON PAUL

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

In fact, Bill Clinton was more of a conservative than Bush.

"Ron Paul for the America of old!!!!"

Heh… at least Paul supporters are honest about wanting to go back to the 19th century. Yeah, let's return the US dollar to the gold standard. That sounds like a great idea. And there are plenty more where that came from. Come on, people! Paul's a crass opportunist exploiting people's anger over the war to fuel his longshot (not a chance in hell) campaign, and even some liberals are latching on to him, but if you look beyond the war, Paul's views are actually quite insane! If his position on the war is the only reason you like him, then you should consider voting for a Democrat!

However, I 100% agree about the Bush admin being the worst ever.

It's been a lot of fun lately, watching the GOP swirling down the toilet bowl of history as the various factions in the Bush coalition, each representing a different flavor of insanity, fight it out to pick their sacrificial lamb to get crushed by Obama.

I was 18 years old and voting for the first time in 2000, and I can proudly say that even then I was smart enough not to vote for the current regime.

Hate to say we told ya so, but, well we told ya so! Hope all you Bush voters are happy.

You can't get anymore conservative than Bush. He has bombed countries and left poor America out to dry it is a wonder he is still around. Good riddens to the worst president ever!!!

The point is that Bush wasn't really conservative at all, more like wasteful

Clearly, republicans still believe that Iraq had something to do with 9/11. They will cave to the propaganda of fear rather than look at reality. Please, stop being lead around by the nose. Think for yourself!

The conservatives in Washington have been spending way too much money.
"Cut taxes & increase spending" is not a workable plan…well, not unless you borrow from foreign countries….

Aaron, just so you know … Bush is the first Marxist-Maoist president:

1. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun
2. The enemy of my enemy is my friend
3. Never ending war
4. Religion is the opium of the people …

Need I go on …? And by the way, neo-conservatism is just a polite euphemism for something much less acceptable.

Conservatives mistake morality for conservatism, thus conservatives believe you can legislate morality,

YOU CAN NOT LEGISLATE MORALITY

Some of you must not remember Jimmy Carter. Now there was a terrible President…stagflation, Iranian Embassy, Panama Canal, North Korean…any of that ring a bell? It took the Democrats 12 years to recovery from the damage he did in 4 short years.

Because yours are easier to make fun of.

Our dollar sucks, the world hates us, and now America talks about pre-emptive war. What a legacy eh? George W. Bush, the worst president in the History of the United States.
Ron Paul for the America of old!!!!

Why dont you dems stay in your own polls

How is it possible that 18% of America, or at least people in New Hampshire, think that everything is fine and we should just continue with the status quo? Is it THAT cold this winter that their brains have become numb?

And the questions about "conserving". The only thing conserved here is their personal wealth, their business colleague's personal wealth, and a few key allies' personal wealth. Not only has the vast majority of America suffered under the Bush Administration, our country's status as a respectable nation has taken a tremendous downfall.

The interesting part is the "more conservative" and "less conservative" have nothing to do with the traditional meaning of "conservatism", at least in politics. This has been an economic nightmare (on top of everything else), with the largest national debt ever, a military that's on the brink of bankruptcy, skyrocketing mortgage foreclosures, enormous gasoline prices in the face of record oil company profits, and so on.

On the "less government" front, we have the laughable "Patriot Act" (as aptly named as the "Clean Air" act), entirely new government departments that are every bit as incompetent as FEMA proved to be, secret prisons, Guantanamo, and so on.

This is "conservative"? This is a dictator that is above the law. If you voted for this administration in 2000, well, who knew all of this nonsense would happen. If you voted again for this administration in 2004, please turn in your voter's registration card (or shoot it, as the case may be).

Thinking that this course of action should continue, even if it's 18% of the people — I don't know what is going on anymore. I don't know if a democrat will correct everything (or at least a majority of things) in even two terms, but the captain of the brain ship has long since left his post in this current administration, and in this case, I'll put my trust in an ensign over another "captain".

51 percent want an even more conservative president? My god, no wonder the blog world sees republicans as flat earth deadenders. They are stark raving mad.

More conservative? Really? Wow, surprised by that.

Makes sense, this administration spends more than any that I can remember.

Sure, why wouldn't conservatives say they want a more conservative President? GW may talk a "good" game but the fiscal conservatives hate runaway deficit spending, and while he may throw the So-Cons a bone or two he hasn't done much on their pet issues (Thankfully). There's something for conservatives of all stripes to find lacking.

I'm not conservative but I can see their point.

Hey Mary,
Just so you know, Bush is not a real conservative. He is a Neo-Conservative. There is a HUGE difference.

It seems hard to believe that people really feel that way….thats scary…and to think what the polls might be like in truly conservative states…..

Go Paul Go!!!!

MORE conservative??? Too bad they don't have an Islamic Fundamentalist candidate to vote for.

A MORE conservative President? Why – to lead us back in 1850? Give me a break.

That Reps want a more conservative president might bode well for Romney. However, combined with the above poll I have to say it seems like Ron Paul might get over 10% of the vote. And I'm not a Paul supporter.

With results like this is it too early to call the state for Huckabee or Dr. Paul?
