i like huntsman a lot, i think that if romney gets elected he would make a GREAT vp or secretary of state.. but romney isnt going to be pull another mormon onto his electorate ticket

I have no idea why you would vote for a candidate based on religion when there are so many more important issues.

I have no idea either, but how many people vote because of dumb shit. Look at Obama's approval rating among certain demographics and tell me people didn't vote for him because of dumb reasons.

Goddammit ANT, I can't defend you if you're going to stoop to levels like that day in and day out haha.

Conservatives go with the tried and true candidate.

McCain lost out to Bush when Bush ran against Gore. He put in his time and got the nod in 2008. Mitt lost against McCain in 2008 and will get the nod in 2012. It is about putting your dues in, being an established party candidate and waiting your turn. Huntsman will be an up and coming star, just not right now. This is good exposure for him and will get his name out there.

What? I am talking about feminists.

All I am saying is that in America people are free to vote like retards. The second we start thinking we are smarter or know what is better for another citizen, we go down a path of totalitarianism. Let people be retards and let them be free.

More important? More important to who? You? Everybody is different and everyone has a right to vote for the issues they feel important...but just as ANT pointed out above...some issues are deemed 'unimportant' because they don't align with your personal political/religious/fundamental beliefs.

John 8:7

"And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”

Damn, check out those internet muscles!! So dreamy.

...and tough.

no the true king is on a planet somewhere far away from us. praise joseph smith.

I personally deem it less important on the basis of common sense.

Clearly that isn't a direct quote.

I'm going to vote for Bachman! She said she's going to close our embassy in Iran and its about goddamn time someone did that!

Oh, wait...

What the hell are you talking about? Have you actually read the bible OR THE CONSTITUTION? Where in the bible is the due process? Where is freedom of speech? Where is voting ? Where is the takings clause? Where is the commerce clause in the bible? Where is the 2nd amendment? Unlike you, I have actually read the bible. The values espoused in it, especially, those in old testament are anathema to America's constitution and judicial system.

In the bible, genocide is commanded by god. Don't believe me, dust off your bible and read it. Does our justice system give you a free ride if you commit genocide? The bible is nothing more than highly read work of fiction.

Haha, have you read about noah's arc? When god said, "screw it, these fuckers might as well drown because I don't like them". God in the bible, especially the old testament has far more in common with a kid who shoots up a school than the constitution.

I find that religious people like yourself are the least knowledgeable about the bible and constitution. What a joke. How anyone garners a scintilla of the rudiments of liberal democracy from the bible is beyond me.

Alright, alright. Tl;dr. Let me sum it up:

According to lefties, conservatives =

According to right-wingers, libs =

Now, start round 37105175317931... of the partisan bashing.

1) Democrat's are just as moronic as Republicans.

2) Intelligence doesn't mean results (Obama perfect example).

3) Bachman fizzled fast, as everyone knew she would. Cain had a run and it was well deserved. He will do well on the bench for 4 more years to polish his resume. Perry blew his shot, plain and simple.

Newt would utter destroy Obama in a debate. Mitt is a good candidate who has put in his time. Huntsman will develop into something in the future.

Ok? I was going based on a scale that I think the majority of American would agree on...not the ANT scale, where anything to the left of a Tea Party god is a socialist.

Please would you define the politcal spectrum for all of us and let me know where I stand. I'll fill out a policy survey or something if that suits you.

Or you could just shut the fuck up.

Wow, sorry for correcting you. When the majority of Americans classify themselves as conservatives and conservative-moderate and you say how your liberal beliefs are representative of the majority of Americans, the word for that is called WRONG.

Sorry for hurting your feelings.

I agree, but one cannot be too conservative and win the nomination. As I mentioned before in my educational interlude for Duff, American is center right. You need to be moderate to pull the middle. I think Huntsman will be fine in another election cycle, but right now I feel as if he is viewed as too new for a party that likes a familiar face.

Romney can beat Obama. Republicans would vote for a dog in an election against Obama. I would vote for the Diet Coke can on my desk as long as Obama lost. Romney will get their votes. The religious faction will vote for Romney for two reasons.

1) They think Obama is a Muslim

2) Romney is Mormon-lite

So now you just need the moderates. Nothing like an East Coast, well educated and good looking dude to pull women, moderates and left leaning coastal states. He has also managed to deflect most of the criticism because good Republicans know how to take point and the first hit. Look at all the heat Cain, Bachman, Newt and Perry are getting, while Romney builds cash and hangs tight.

Obama is going to get the usual suspects to support him, but the center is disappointed. He hasn't brought change, he hasn't united the world like people thought, the economy sucks and he pissed away all his political power on healthcare, something a large portion (possibly a majority) of people don't want the government in. Look at what happened once Obama forced it through. Dem's lost the house and almost the Senate (which they will most likely lose this time).

In case you forgot what you actually said?

Also: it's "milquetoast"

Agreed. Self identifying with a particular part of the political spectrum doesn't mean anything unless you actually compare your policy stances to others.
