Rick thinks women should not have the right to choose whether to have an abortion.
Rick thinks women - even those who have been raped - should be forced to keep the child.
Rick wants to peer so far into people's bedrooms that he wants to ban sodomy.
3 reasons alone why Rick should never be given power
Rick: strong on social issues but how does that create jobs?

Yeah but Madverts, you've got to remember the GOP 'base' (that's a noun and an adjective) was bigger then.
Since bush, they've spent the last 3 and a bit years cleaning house marginalizing, alienating and devising their own moderates.
Actions like that don't happen without blowback.
Heh, when it comes.to this GOP's strategy, the question is what strategy?
Buckled into my armchair looking forward to even more GOP-sponsored lunacy tomorrow. :-)

I think the pressure is off now.
There's next to no way the Repubs are going to win with these 2 guys.

One thing I'll grant gwb is that at least people knew where the guy stood on the major issues.
Mitt, on the other hand, is all over the map.
How will people voting for him know how soon he'll reverse his position on Iran, gay marriage, abortion?
Like trying to drive a post into quicksand.

Nothing wrong with that.
He introduced a pretty good health insurance system, too, using a model that many conservatives wail is an infringement on their 'freedoms' while not batting an eyelid when anti-abortion, pro-war and anti-gay marriage laws they support infringe on the rights and livelihoods of others.
That aside, I think the key question about Romney is: where does he stand on the key issues?
I mean, this month....

With a population north of 300 million, the Newt and Mitt are the best the GOP can field for the office of president of the United States???
C'mon American conservatives - YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS!!
You deserve way more than to end up fielding a morally bankrupt serial adulterer and a former governor whose policy positions have been all over the map many times, who many of you do not like or trust anyway.
Seriously conservatives, you need to start taking the nomination process for the world's top job a bit - no, waaaaay more seriously.
It's not just Americans whose lives and livelihoods hinge on this - it's a lot of the rest of us too.

Superlib - 'They [the Right] own all the circus freaks.....Bachmann, Palin, Cain, etc. These people are just embarrassing....'
Couldn't agree more, and what disturbs me is that these characteristics are also held by conservatives in general. Conservatives see themselves, their ideas, attitudes and characteristics in these morally bankrupt, intellectually derelict clown candidates - that's why they support them.
Which doesn't give me much hope for America's future unless the Right is kept shut out of power.
The left sure isn't perfect but it's way, way better than the economic, intellectual and moral decay that would be sped up should the GOP win.

Superlib, best post of the day (and i mean that even though I know you think I'm 'radical.' :-)
Two words: Tea Party.
They have radicalized the Right, marginalized their moderates, and shafted the GOP's chances of winning back the WH.
Serrano, I think no Democrat is challenging your president because they know when they're on to a good thing. They remember how he came virtually out of nowhere and won the WH on his first attempt. Candidates like that don't come by regularly.
Sure, Obama has not exercised his full potential, largely due to what I believe is a potentially dangerous racist undertone flowing in the background on the Right (you see it appear every so often - the insults, the name calling, the distorted labels, the lack of basic respect for the office of THIS president) that has galvanized the worst anti-America, anti-common sense obstructionism Americans have probably ever seen.
All that aside, and despite the fact that neither Obama or anyone for that matter is perfect, he's the best the Dems have got and it's pretty clear they're largely ok with that.

At least with Republicans you've got a choice?
That's like saying, 'which of two trains barreling off the cliff do you want to be on?'
I'd like to think Americans are a bit smarter than that.

Ben -' How much does beer cost in your fantasy land?'
I'm sorry, I was under the impression this thread was about the Republican presidential nomination process in America, not the price of beer..
Please correct me if I'm wrong...

I wish I was a conservative.
I'd be spoiled for choice between a 30-year Washington insider who claims he isn't and who wants Americans to move to the moon and mine minerals, and a golden-spooned 'Really, I'm one of you!' dreamer with a penchant for stripping people of their jobs to make millions for himself and calling it job creation while describing himself as 'unemployed.'
LOL!! You just couldnt make this stuff up. :-)

Ben, you're right, but the privileged help the privileged.
You'll remember how Bain was one of the companies hired to lobby Congress to kill a proposal to hike capital gains tax in the 90s.

Ben - "Could you indicate where Romney has said he wants the government to do away with public health care?"
No, j4p4nFTW did. I have no idea where you got the idea Romney said it.

j4p4nFTW - "I would recommend taking the marginal tax rate down near 0% for high net worth individuals."
Really now? Can I raise that by suggesting the government does away with public health care - so that only people with money to buy private health insurance will receive health treatment and everyone else is left to suffer?
Oh, you already mentioned that.

Jp4, taxes were cut on the Job Creators.
We got a global recession. Got any smarter ideas?
I know, how about eliminating SS and all other benefits so everyone who isn't earning starves or freezes?
Oh, you already suggested that......

Besides 'Obama must go,' 'I'm unemployed,' and 'Gingrich is a liar,' what other Important policy planks has Mitt described that are going to deliver jobs?

Let's face it - the tea party was one of the best things to happen to the Progressive movement in the U.S. thanks to how they are ripping the Right vote apart, and probably the worst thing to happen to the Regressive conservative movement.
Besides Newt.
And the global recession that sparked under their watch.
And the 13 million unemployed and trillions in debt they created.
And Michelle Backmann, Herman Cain, Rick 'banning sodomy is more important than creating jobs' Santorum.
et al.

Ben, yes, we will fall hard. When the GOP implode in November, libs will only have Fox News for a comedy fix, but I admit that's more than enough. -)

Candidates on the Right might actually get somewhere if they came clean with the American public (for once) and got their PACs to re-name themselves along the lines of 'Supporting America's Future & GOP Comedy' and 'American Freedom and Comedy.'
If the Right honestly stated the reality of their campaigns - that they are no more than a mystery-donor funded traveling comedy show, heck, even I'd donate to the cause. :-)
