Any of you watch the Republican debate from Las Vegas?

I forgot to mention Ron Paul. I've never been much a fan of his, but he has some ideas that I like. Such as some of his fiscal ideas. It's good having him in there on those occasions where he kicks butt with common sense ideas,  but he can be a loose cannon sometimes, seem part libertarian and I think kind of part angry.

I like Ron Paul for bravely representing the 19th century.  The man's a mental, but there's a charm to that.  He reminds me of a Republican, right-wing Tony Benn figure.

I can't stand him, so I'm biased, but I'm surprised how little love there is for Romney.  The degree to which everyone seems to want another candidate is extraordinary.

If you called up central casting and asked for someone who looks and sounds like a generic President for your film, you'd get someone like Romney.

Yep.  He acts like it too.  And he abuses dogs and is just weird.

Sometimes I wish understood what the hell you were talking about.

Questioning the usefulness of deposit insurance is flat earther kind of thinking at this point.

[Darth Wagtaros]

Actually, I doubt I'm going to vote republican this year. Or even vote at all.

I'll be interested in seeing how that holds up once the time comes (you know, if you tell us).

You people are all the same.

Okay, that I understood.  I'm not as educated as everyone else on this board, so you guys have to be patient with me.

Minsky uses big New York words to show off.

Marti does to.  Its just that Marti often gets them in the wrong order.

We can afford them here.

One of my co-workers who lives in Jersey suggested that I go to Outback when I said I wanted a steak.  When I looked at him blankly, he said that he was thinking on an economical basis. His boss, a Manhattanite, looked at him and we both said simultaneously, "We live in Manhattan; we're beyond saving money."  I felt vulgar but then so glad not be in Jersey.

You can be insufferable sometimes, you know that?

Now why are you buttering me up like that? What do you want?

I like you garbon, you are what Marty wants to be and never will be.  I find that hilarious.

Maybe Perry will do better if he runs again in four years. He may just not be ready for prime time. Just like Romney seems to have upped his game quite a bit wit all the practice he's had. 

If corrupt incompetents with no leadership abilities is what you think this country needs go ahead and hope for that.

Hehe, I'm not hoping for Perry. Just pointing out that he might get better with time in the bigger circles. As it is now, I'm fairly unimpressed with him, where at first I thought he showed promise.

My stance is to wait until near when the primary elections occur.  If I pay too much attention before that...I'm liable to not end up voting.

Have any states moved their primaries to December yet?

Nah don't you remember that last time around states were liable for punishment and negation if they jumped up to soon?

Romney is a smart and capable rich guy who stands for nothing other than getting himself elected, and has spent the last 7 or so years dedicated to becoming president. On the one hand he is the only reasonable republican candidate, because the rest of the field are loons, but he is the most brazenly opportunistic candidate I can remember. This just can't end well.
