thats it Chuck- feed off the lies and propaganda. Huckabee is going to do better than Romney anyway. Just check those results.

When is Romney going to drop out so he stops taking votes from Huckabee?

Doesn't matter who wins the republican nomination, the democrats will win the presidency…. sadly. I dont like McCain as much as Romney but id rather have him there than a democrat.

I don't like Hillary, Obama, or Romney; they are too extreme on many issues. And I cannot trust most of what they have said or will say or do. The major issue facing the country is that we have an ever increasing national debt (10 Trillion Dollar)! We are selling our country piece by piece! The US dollar has lost at least 40% of its value in the last 5 years. And everyone is predicting the drop will continue. You basically got a wage reduction of 40% compare to the rest of the world! How can we stop that? We have to reduce the national debt. Increase tax will hurt the economy. We could increase some for the super rich, but those are limited. There is no way we can afford national health care now. And the national health care system will not provide the care we are so use to. At time like this, we can only cut spending on every government program. Mostly at defense and Medicare programs, those are the major spending of our government. We need to reduce the national debt, not just reduce the deficit. Currently, we pay over 270 billion for the interest on the national debt! That is 270 billion! That is about $900 per person a year! I don’t like to pay for interest that just goes down the drain. I truly believe if we don’t reduce the national debt in the next 10 years to 5 trillion from current 10 trillion, we will loss our super power forever. In the next 50 years, as more and more baby boom generation retires, the strain on current budget will only get worse. I don’t need to listen to Hillary, Obama’s inspirational talk about change. The change is not more government spending, we need fiscal responsibility and tightening our belt to cut down spending. We cannot wish to get free lunch from our government. There is no free lunch; the democrats will have to borrow more to pay for every social program there. Romney is too extreme on the right, his call on abortion and illegal immigrates are just not practical any more. His call on trickle down economy will not work either as we have seen the money never trickle down. The rich gets richer, the poor gets poorer. We need change. First we need to reverse Bush’s tax cut for the rich. Second, we need to cut down on spending to balance the budget and produce some surplus to pay down the debt. Everyone knows, when someone is in a debt hole, they have to cut on spending and make more money to pay down the debt. We don’t have the luxury to declare bankruptcy. The only person I can trust to make the touch and right choice in this presidential race is John McCain. He is the only hope for us to keep us strong in touch time ahead.
