thats why he wouldnt be able to shake up the govt as much as is needed. he still needs congress to approve his actions. i was personally thinking of ron paul but am now thinking of rick santorum. i dont think one of the candidates fits exactly what we need. they each have their good points and bad. we need a combo. i think rons stand on military 'diplomacy' will hurt him. sometimes we need to take action b4 it happens. look at iran. they need to be stopped. i think ron would make a great VP maybe santorum as pres, gotta hear/see more. but like was said if romney or gingrich get the nod then itll prob be more the same. gingrich has some great ideas and he seems to play nice with people when he needs to. which makes me not trust him completely, but he does know how to argue!! after all he was the speaker during mr bills presidency. romney, i just dont know he may be too mid way thought. when herman was running i thought he had a good chance. why all of a sudden does his infidelity matter?!?!? clinton got elected??? kennedy got elected??? herman is a business man thru & thru and was a CEO of a national company that he brought back from almost failing. now i think that would have shook up washington. but the media didnt want him. so know he is sidelined. bachmann, has some great thoughts as well and also can debate, but due the the media i dont think she has a chance. perry?!?! he was blown out of proportion from the start.
again i dont think any are perfect just 2 really seem to answer my thought patterns. paul and santorum not necessarily in that order. i dont like ron pauls thought on military isolationism and need to hear more on rick.
i really hope that the underdogs pull out a few early wins. the top guys need to be humbled. but it seems that romney and gingrich are chameleons and can fit into different perspectives. again why i dont trust them.
Wait you are considering Santorum? There is soooo much baggage with him it is not even funny!! The only guy that really is for change is Ron Paul. Also to say that Ron Paul is crazy with his foreign Policy and you do not like well. Well Michael Scheuer endorses Ron Paul and he is a former CIA’s agent charged with tracking Osama bin Laden. So if this like Ron Paul that he must also like his foreign policy. Ron Paul also got more contribution from active duty military then all the other republicans combined. So if that is not enough to get you to support him on this issue watch this video and this should help you out more on supporting Ron Paul's Foreign Policy

i watched the video completely thru. i can see his points but i still say something needs to be done with russia iran and n korea as well as china. a sit back and watch what happens stance isnt good enuff. i agree that you defend yourself and fix home first and i agree with that. but certain things need to be taken care of before it gets out of hand. sure our government made some of their own messes but if we sit back now itll give them the courage to strike at us. after all look at chinas recent annoucement of a missle that is being developed to strike a moving ship up to 1700mi away. they come in at such an angle that we cant defend ourselves from them yet. their j-20 project, stealth fighter. their recent aircraft carrier that they purchased from ukraine. their 29 modern submarines. then look at russia with getting upset that our missile defenses in europe arent just for iran. and then saying that they are pointed missles at us in retaliation. putin and his clan need to be sidelined. they are trying to flex their muscles again now that they are richer from selling oil. then the whole thing with n korea especially know we dont know what kim jung un is capable of and who pulls his strings. now with irans assertion that they will block the straights of hormuz and their nuclear capabilities?? if we sit back and allow things to happen itll just make them stronger as well. granted our government made mistakes but these others will not drop their quests to rid the world of america and what we stand for as a country. ok bringing our soldiers home will increase our strength but then the liberal/socialists will make it that the budget decreases for the military cause now there is no need to keep the budget that high. thus degrading our military so it will couteract what it is meant to do. they dont need all those people to defend our borders. instead of say 10 to keep say 10miles protected they will find a way to do that with 2 soldiers. so it all is a vicious cycle. you dont do this and we wont give u what u want. they need to get all the lawyers out of washington once and for all.
we also need someone with the backbone to get that pipeline built from canada and some governors like the one in my state to allow fracking. between these 2 we can supply our own refined oil and add quite a bit of jobs in the short and long term. then not have to contend and pay some nut job that doesnt support us.
just to make sure. i am not trying to flame and start an argument. i just want to see another side of things and just hear a good answer to my questions i have. hell i still ask dems what was so bad about palin?? they just say she was stupid. i ask what was so stupid that she did or said? u dont know how many times i heard cause they watch cnn or read the ny times and they say she is or i also got the answer cause she said that she can see russia from her doorstep. oh give me a break. the woman was just saying that she is close in distance to them. how bout when al gore was in monticello and saw a bust of jefferson and asked whose that??
do you have any other info for me to look at??
i heard some negative things about santorum today. about his 0% mortgage that he obtained and a few other bank releated info.
