Ron Paul got the most applause. That has a psychological effect on certain types of people.

My wife just agreed with about everything he said. 

Oh, and she really hates Brett Baer now for some reason :lol:

An Argentine?  Well that's a ringing endorsement.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You're just as bad.
No, I'm not.  Just because I'm annoyed by idiots to the point of using very sharp language does not mean that I'm an equivalent idiot.  It just means that I've just had it.
Yes, you are.  You're a different kind of idiot, but an idiot nevertheless.

We don't need to raise taxes to balance the budget.
Wrong.

Wrong.

Politically we may end up having to, but it's certainly possible without tax increases.

Never said it was.  Just surprised me that out of all of them she picked him.

The problem is that there is far, far more support for not cutting spending than there is for not raising taxes.  Even the people who want to maintain lower taxes also don't want to cut spending.

Yeah, I found a poll that broke down what the Tea Party rank and file want to cut.  Jack Shit.  Not Social Security, not Medicare, not Defense.  Just tiny little bullshit things.  Posted it here a few times.

Poor Huntsman, forced to awkwardly explain why he didn't really mean we need to figure out what to do with millions of illegals in America.

Also, we are so gonna get a downgrade from S&P if a Republican wins.

They don't want to cut spending.  They want to cloak a social conservative agenda behind fiscal conservatism with cuts to things like the NEA and associated science programs, and to rail against 'waste', 'corruption' and 'mismanagement'.  If you actually tried to cut their social security, medicare or whatever, they'd go wild.
