Quote from 377OHMS:
I liked Perry but as he came into public view his intelligence rather his complete lack of intelligence became apparent. My mistake.
I liked Gingrich and was nearly laughed out of P&R. I'll admit that once he was perceived to be a contender he began to say questionable things about rounding up and arresting judges and moonbases etc. I worked in the space business most of my adult life but given our economic state this just isn't the time to be talking about enormous unfunded space initiatives...unless you are just pandering to Florida voters. Still, I find the guy to be charming, knowledgable and a powerful debater. He has an internal moral compass...except when it comes to marriage and fidelity. My mistake, again.
And that was it. I don't like Ron Paul. I despise Rick Santorum. I can scarcely remember who the others were aside from Herman McCain who struck me as being totally unequipped to run the country.
The republicans have a talent for destroying their own chances. This is looking like a repeat of 2008. I know you like Obama but this should have been an easy victory for the GOP and we've screwed it up. At this point I don't believe it can be fixed. I remain hopeful and you'll see me posting with a positive outlook but that is only because the alternative is too depressing.
