She's out raising Romney, but Ron Paul is out raising her.
You guys see where Beck is bashing the Don? (Trump)
Glen Beck calling Trump the lunatic fringe?
Pot; Meet kettle.
So far, looks like Barack Obama is going to get re-elected. GOP can't seem to muster a viable candidate this time around either.
Your right, it seems Obama unifies Republicans much more than any potential Republican candidate.
I wonder if Trump will actually run? I think he has the money to campaign.

I have to agree. Although this may not be a bad thing. I have been pretty satisfied with Obama's foreign policy, Gitmo, and taxes. Not thrilled with the "reformation" of health care and would like to see more budget cuts... but... I would not be unhappy if Mr O hung around another four...
QuoteWith a short video on BarackObama.com, the sitting president of the United States has launched his bid for re-election.

His fiscal policy has been a disaster. I don't know that we will financially survive another four years of this. $20 TRILLION dollar debt? I am afraid that the house of cards will fall.
In a way I wish someone with business sense would win. I don't know if that is Trump but he sure seems to know how to make money.
I hope Rick Scott isn't getting any ideas :(
It's simple math Timkin. You can't spend more than you bring in. A lot of the problem both at State and Federal level is reduced income. But you have to be able to adjust.
No argument here, Not Now.. Who would you see, be our next president?
No one has caught my fancy yet. The Republicans seem pretty disorganized right now. I won't support a Newt or Palin run so we will have to wait and see. No one in the current government has the courage and leadership to do what has to be done, that is obvious.
How about Trump :)
I don't see it. I think he is just trying to have an effect on the race. I see him as an advisor, like Gingrich. The Republican candidate will probably be a "concensus" candidate. That will be a tough sell. At this point, I don't think such a candidate can defeat President Obama. But a lot can happen in a year and a half.
Ron Paul or Gary Johnson (former NM Gov.) would be good choices.
I don't think that Ron Paul can be nominated (at least by the current Republican Party leadership). I like Johnson, and can support him if he can gain mo.

If you say so, UL ;)
I doubt the Republicans will pick someone that can actually win. If they picked Romney they could win but they will probably pick Newt considering it a throw away election.
and either one is a nauseating prospect. Might as well get Barney Frank to run ;)
I want a Ron Paul/Bernie Sanders ticket.
Watch the Fed heads roll!
I love Ron Paul, but I think he is too "Out There", for your main stream sound bite oriented American voter.

He's not too far "out there" for the voters, but the sound bites are. Those which are delivered by the major media.
If they say the guy you like is a fringe kook, he's probably right on the money. (Which is to say he poses a threat to monied interests)
As I said I love him.
Any cartoon similarities to Stephen Dare is coincidental. ::)
