Who will be on the Republican Presidential ticket for 2012?

[QUOTE="rawsavon"]

[QUOTE="ristactionjakso"] perry sounds good too.

ristactionjakso

there is a website about perry's beliefs. Although I will say I don't agree with everything on the website, but I do agree with him a lot more than I do Obama.

I asked what policies YOU agree with/think will work and what about his track record makes YOU think he will be a good president.
In other words, I wanted you to (in your own words) say what you agree with about his platform and why you think he make a good president

[QUOTE="ristactionjakso"]

[QUOTE="rawsavon"] what specific policies of his are you in favor of?
what about his track record makes you say that he would make a good president/is qualified?

...hmmm...

anyways, your 'answer' is actually a better answer than anything you could have spelled out.

thanks :)

If I had to guess right now, I'd say Rick Perry is going to be the nominee. No clue as to who is VP would be. -Sun_Tzu-

His point is that you pointed to a site, pointed out you don't entirely agree with it, and that's it. That means that by reading the site, it's impossible to determine what you do and do not agree with. Without more information it's as good as no answer at all. You could hand someone a bag of mixed jelly beans, and when they ask you which you like, you respond, "some, but not all of them."

So...Don't spell it all out, but how about five or six brief points where you DO agree?

How can I when he literally wants to take apart the FOUNDATIONS of the modern United States.. The only point reference we can look at before this are times like the early 1900s and late 1800s.. Those were not good times.. For the average citizen compared to today.. His standing is quite honestly as bad as the people who preach socialism... They are two sides of the same coin of extremes.

The US is what it is today based on the foundations.. Including it becoming a super power.. People seem to want to blame everything negative upon the government, while at the same time disregard the government of having anything to do with the US's rise to economic power..

Ron Paul......

hell no.

Anyone else would be better than Obummer. I'm tired of hearing all his speeches and no action. I'm not even American and would dread another 4 years of this failure.

I would love for Ron Paul to win, most people think he's crazy but he is the most intelligent and honest politician today. Less government = more prosperity.

Lets see. Flip-flopper Mit Romney Air-head Michelle Bachmann Overrated Ron Paul Some no-nameEasports48

How is Ron Paul overrated when news stations don't even cover him?He actually makesalotof sense on middle east wars, and theteabaggersbooed oh what a surprise. Then they cheer when we get the spoon fed response that we got the day after 9/11/2001 "They hate us for our freedom", no they hate us because we are occupying their country and killing thousands of innocent people.

I disagree with alot of his opinions especially on total deregulation, and wouldn't give him my vote nor any of the republicans on the stand tonight... well maybe Mitt Romney. I was merely pointing out it's a joke to call him overrated when he is ignored by all the media. He does have some really great ideas, just a little to out there on some issues. His thoughts on our reckless spending and our military occupying countries being the real problem is dead on though.

The ultimate reason why Al Qaeda attacked us was because we are a moral abomination who are in the way of their future caliphate. That's not to say the US has done no wrong in the Middle East, but our foreign policy in the region does not explain away why 9/11 happened. It helps to provide some context, but it can't help us understand why Al Qaeda attacked us.

There's no one who was just on that sage (CNN debate), who I would want to see with even the power they already have. They seem to range from ideologically driven, to, "just pwain cwazy!" :shock:

Who I want: Paul(president)/Cain(VP) or Cain(president)/Huntman(VP)

Who will most likely get on the ticket: Perry/Bachman or Romney(pres)/Bachman(vp)

If Perry gets on the ticket I'm not voting republican. Had enough of his crap as governor, and I don't trust him.

What sucks is it wouldn't be down to just Perry vs Romney if the news stations weren't perpetuating that lie. I mean, the day after Perry announces his candidacy all the stations are declaring him the frontrunner. I think you have to do a little more than say you're going to run to be in first place. I don't know if they just don't want a Republican candidate with the chance to beat Obama or if its because he's insane and it makes a good story.

I do not know, but Romney seems, for the lack of a better way of putting it, the least insane of the bunch.

However, it will probably be Perry, because, after all, what we need is another good ol' boy from Texas.

Ron Paul gets my vote

anyone else will just continue things on EXACTLY the way they are now... except Perry- he could mess up this country worse than Bush...

who was it that said if Bush and Perry were in the same family, Bush would be the smart one?

Holy hell, I did not know OT had many Ron Paul supporters. Though I do question the motive when Pauls intended policies and views would erode individual rights and empower state governments even further at the cost of the people.

It's only personal freedom if you view government control as the only factor affecting personal freedom. Getting rid of the many thing Ron Paul proposes would adversely affect many Americans in many different ways. Want toxic waste disposed of in your town? Want companies to shirk safety standards because there aren't regulations enforcing them anymore? Want companies polluting even more? Then vote for Ron Paul! But if you actually care about personal liberties as a whole and not just in regards to whether or not the government has any role, then vote for someone who's not bat**** crazy.

not sure if serious? ron paul is the champion of personal liberty and individual rightsmingmao3046

And I'm the queen of England.

I have this crazy feeling that almost all of them don't know what he actually stands for. If they do though then I'm left assuming they must be naively idealistic.Ace6301

Probably a combination of the two, mixed in with a gigantic misunderstanding of the implications of his policies and a propensity for clinging to so-called common sense arguments.

From my observation, most people on the internet that use the forums like these are fairly open minded. And then you have everyone else that gets their information from TV. And news on TV makes Ron Paul look bad. Most Ron Paul supporters know what they want like like me.

Libertarians = Young

Self-styled Libertarians who just want the freedom to impinge on the freedom of others = Older

Young people are well represented online, so... yeah, love for Ron Paul.
