People, please make me happy and tell me there are enough republicans to prevent Hillary or Obama from office?

Question

Please tell me that there are enough republicans in America to prevent Hillary or Obama from getting in; or as I like to call them, Socialist and Inexperience:>)

RON PAUL ISN'T MUCH BETTER EITHER!

Doesn't the fact that Obama HAS NO EXPERIENCE frighten you people. You have to remember, Oprah ain't gonna be making his speeches for him once he is in office...think about it.

tibbs90, I think by "country" you meant the middle-class and down. Money will be taken from people with good jobs - many which were received through hard work - and given to people sitting on their couch all day watching daytime television. It's Socialism, and it encourages people to not work hard. When you start taking away tax-breaks from people with good jobs it makes them lose incentive, and taxing a corporation will just make them increase their prices. Obama and Hillary are for mild socialism, and you know how that works: people in power have the power. You MUST LOOK AT THE ENTIRE PICTURE. Really work to find out what "for the country" means to them.

John Edwards is a slime bag; I wouldn't trust him in a million years with that smirk he puts on his face. Yea, he's a good speaker, and that's why people who don't listen to what he is ACTUALLY SAYING will vote for him.

Sana M, tell me ONE THING YOU LIKE ABOUT OBAMA. Or do you think he's cool...? Oh yea, Obama rocks!!!...yea democrats. Do you know his positions? Do you know what he stands for? He has NO EXPERIENCE.

Lawrence, give me a pro-war Ron Paul who at least doesn't believe in isolation and I have my candidate.

Answer 1

It's kind of bizarre that you would state that you dislike Hillary & Obama, and imply that the reason is they are socialists ... then turn around and claim that "Ron Paul is not much better."

The fact is, every other Republican candidate, with the possible exception of Tancredo, appear like huge big government socialists when you compare them to Ron Paul. Ron Paul wants to eliminate the income tax entirely, and cut Federal spending in HALF .. what other Republican is suggesting cuts that large? Eliminating entire beaurocracies such as the IRS, dept. of Education, Social Security, no more subsidies to farms, etc. If socialism is your primary issue, Ron Paul is the anti-socialist amongst both parties.

The reason you probably dislike Ron Paul, (I can only guess) is you are in support of the war in Iraq, and THAT is the problem. It is not an issue of whether there are enough Republicans to stop Hillary. There are just simply too many people in the US that are tired of the war, to vote in a pro-war Republican. The sad part, is that Hillary is not even that much anti-war. She won't even make commitments on how fast to pull the troops out. She is positioning to seize the middle ground on this. She will get the anti-war vote against any pro-war Republican, as well as any pro-war Democrats favoring a "gradual" withdrawal.

I would love to tell you I don't think Hillary can get in .. and a couple years ago I would have never dreamt this nightmare could possibly become a reality.

Despite what all the polls claim, Ron Paul would very likely destroy Hillary in the election, and is probably the only Republican who can beat her. Most pro-war Republicans hate Hillary enough, that they will vote for anybody but Hillary .. but Ron Paul is also going to snatch a big bunch of Democrat votes, as well as Independents, who see that Hillary has been on the fence on this war issue, and even voted for it.

The pending question is, how stubborn are the pro-war Republicans going to be in the primaries. Here is my question to you .. what is more important to you? Continuing the war in Iraq, or keeping a socialist out of office? You can't have both. If you want the war, go ahead, vote against Ron Paul. If you want this country to remain a free-market, capitalist society, and you can compromise on your pro-war stance by supporting Ron Paul .. you will get an even better pro-capitalist, pro free-market person in office than any of the other Republicans running.

follow-up: If you want a pro-war "Ron Paul" .. the closest would be Tancredo. He is probably the one who would have the least non-war, big govt. spending .. actually in one debate he slammed Huckabee, saying "we cannot afford a space program" .. i.e. Tancredo will indeed cut. However, if you take military off the table for spending cuts, then we are stuck paying income tax. Because military is a HUGE part of the spending. Do you want to pay income tax in order to have the war, or would you rather keep the money if it means "isolating" ourselves from conflicts and problems in other countries. It's like what Harry Browne commented about US involvement in the Bosnia conflict: "If the US is supposed to be responsible for the defense of Europe, then what is Europe supposed to be responsible for?"
I am anti-war, and even though I will never vote for Hillary or Obama, I am not going to vote for any Republican who wants to continue the conflict, simply to keep either of those out of office. I'll be voting Libertarian this time, most likely, if Ron Paul doesn't win the nomination.

Answer 2

Your Liberalism is shocking, Republicans are wasting money on Obama when McCain could use it...genus idea. Kid take some advice and study your politics. Your not going to learn much watching the Clinton News Network (CNN) Always Back Clinton (ABC), etc. Not to sound like a over worked Republican but Fox is the most honest out there. At least they don't edit news clips to make the president look bad.

Answer 3

Hillary Clinton is perceived to be a socialist.
Obama is considered lacking in experience.
Thus, the Republicans are being trusted to takeover the White House again.

Answer 4

Right now the republicans aren't doing so hot and people are much more interested in the democrats. So the question is Hillary or Obama? I say Obama.

Answer 5

If Huckabee is our Republican nominee we already lost. Lets hope Romney can pull it out.

Out of the two of them I would prefer Obama (to Hillary), and he would be better for the nation as well (much less divisive and hated, and actually possesses some integrity).

Answer 6

John Edwards will get the nomination. No matter what Democrats say, come election time at the primaries they are going to vote for the candidate they think is least likely to lose in November. Democrats are far more conservative then they like to let on. A shrill witch and a guy whose name sounds like Osama are too risky, they'll go with the safe bet. And then lose.

Answer 7

From the looks of how things are currently going, it's going to be a Democrat in office next election.

Answer 8

obama and paul , theres a america with a future, the citizens than could say they finaly had their say.........together they would give us balance........then and only then will the citizen have won some hope

Answer 9

When Ron Paul gets the nomination you will have nothing to worry.

Answer 10

After G.W. Bush and our current state of affairs, why would you want another Republican? I'm voting for someone concerned about our country. I'm voting Democrat!
