Ron Paul 2012
Unsettled?!?! I think they're ALL unsettling!
Radical and angry people don't pick good candidates when they're motivated by hateful social issues. Republicans need to address Social Security, Medicare, world affairs, real solutions for good jobs, the real risk from environmental pollution, global climate change, the trade deficit, long-term enenry policy, immigration, and the US infrastructure. These are real issues. They allow themselves to get distracted by social issues that cost politicians nothing and builds the ridiculous cast of clowns we now see as candidates. Don't let hate media give you your thoughts! Don't hate 50% of America's people because Rush, Sean, and Glenn spin a story designed to get you angry.
The cream is starting to rise, Ron Paul by a landslide!!
rick perry will be the "winner" in the. "Iowa caucuses".For 3 reasons.
1) "mitt romney and newt gingrich" leading only in the iowa "polls", but in "real voters" have rick perry the best chance. Rick perry have in iowa the best organization, and the biggest grope of volunteers.
2)In iowa living more then 200.000 "US veterans", veteran are 35% of the Iowa voters. Rick perry have a strong lead between US veterans. one example "operation boots on ground" a veterans political committee, will bring out to the Iowa caucuses "disabled US veterans" to vote for rick perry.
3) Rick perry have a record to stay low in the polls, and In the end to win the race.
The field is unsettled? How do you think the voters feel? Republicans across the spectrum from Hard Conservative to Tea Party (moderate Republicans were recently declared extinct) are looking at their options and wailing, like a spoiled child at Christmas, "Is that all?" They keep searching for a candidate that passes all their ideological requirements and still looks like they have a snowball's chance in Houston in August of beating Obama. And folks, it's like the free lunch or the perpetual motion machine, there just ain't no such thing!
►Just days before Iowa caucuses, GOP presidential field is still unsettled
And they’re all roaming around LOST – 6 Hansels and 1 Gretel
Nothing will really be settled until “after” Iowa is history
But electing 1 candidate out of the bunch will still be a mystery
May the best Man and/or Woman win while they continue to delve…
Into the truth and then realize in the end – it’s Obama in 2012!!!
CNN tabliod headlines only appeal to the partisan librals. Any informed American citizen, who can vote in a primary, understands that the premise of a primary means the candidate field should be unsettled. Why does CNN think that they can decide who the presidential candidates should be? "We The People" are afforded that priviledge; Not CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc....
Americans need to rise up and demand the media report facts and vette all candidates fairly and accurately or get out of the political reporting business. We need information to informed decisions; if you do your job, you will get the viewership and ratings to drive your advertising revenues.
What's really unsettling is how utterly unfit the entire field is except for Ron Paul.
