2012 Presidential Race Thread

Herman Cain at this point.

I like Herman Cain and Ron Paul - but not on the same ticket.

Allen West would be huge - would make a good VP for Cain.

I do wish Michele Bachmann would enter the race.

The rest of the field is actually pretty bad.

A Cain/West GOP ticket?

Where's that little popcorn-eatin' smilie 'cuz I'd pay money to see that show.

And I think Bachman will make your wish (and mine ) come true any day now.

Of course, she better do it pretty quick what with the Rapture comin' this weekend and all.

Mitch Daniels & Condi would be a good ticket that could beat Obama if the economy stays in the shitter. I was really hoping Paul Ryan was gonna run, but it looks less and less likely that he will in 2012.

I think President Obama will have to make a major screw-up not to be re-elected in 2012.

LOL does his entire first term not count or something? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm just learning more about the guy and am curious what you think qualifies him to be POTUS? The most important thing facing our country at this point in time is our economy and the obvious looming deficit problem, we're bankrupt as a nation. We need someone who understand economics more than anything and who can put us back on the right track of fiscal responsibility.

Obviously everyone in the political circles as skeletons that they don't want brought up but I find it odd that he seems to be pretty tied in to outlaw MC gangs and condoning their behavior. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdNDM...layer_embedded and http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540...93313#39693313

Having outlaw MC gangs bullying people and intimidating them is far from a quality I want to see in a POTUS. http://floridaindependent.com/10808/...to-leave-rally

That's not to say he doesn't have some redeeming qualities, especially as a soldier for our country, but he also voted to reinstate the Patriot Act while saying he supports the Constitution when the Patriot Act is directly at odds with several Amendments of the Constitution. He also supports food stamps and .Gov handouts which are simply a matter of redistribution of wealth and that doesn't fly in my book.

Me personally, I think our country needs Ron Paul in office for a myriad of reasons. He's one of the few politicians who's actually read the Constitution and tries to act within it's guidelines.

FACT: Ron Paul will never get elected POTUS.
