    I don't think I have to worry about being confronted with the problem of voting for Perry--he doesn't have enough sense to last till election time.

    Thats what many of us thought about the current POTUS, at least Perry has held a responsible position and served more than one term at it. Still doesnt say that Perry is it, but he and Romney are about the best choices we have at the moment. Remember it was a "new age" politician that drug us down the hill at breakneck speed and now his favorite excuse about it being the previous admins fault has worn out its welcome.

    You voted for a complete idiot last time so I am really not going to put a whole lot of stock in your current choice no matter who it might be.

    Historically, the 'extreme politicians' are the ones that push the changes. The US Revolutionary War ... 'revolutionists' , for example. After all, Ol' King George wasn't really a bad guy, he just pizzed a few people off, and then they fired up the rest. Our Canadian neighbors never were inclined to dump their King George.

    That prolly has more to do with the fumes you release and the clouds of noxious odors that follow!

    http://www.sodahead.com/united...far...stion-2120815/ - The United States Marine Corps has banned audible farting in Afghanistan ... Military soldiers have already been required to obey regulations ...

    Fortunately, most of my military farts were officially classified as 'Sneakers', and therefore not a court martial offense.

    If you are for or against abortion for ANY reason are you an extremist ?. And if you are of either stance and vote for [Romney] or whomever just to defeat President Obama, does that make you a moderate with no convictions ?.

    NO.....it just means you do not agree with Obozos plans or actions and think someone else can do a better job. Anybody who bases their vote on just one single aspect of a candidate's stances does not understand the process we have in this country. It takes an effort by all three... House, Senate and Potus to have a bill be made into law, so even if one or two like a point doesnt mean its going to happen.

    Unless of course you railroad a bill through like the Dems did the HC bill but that will never come to life as the next set of Congress critters will repeal it.

    Try not to narrow down all the problems to a single issue. With so MUCH screwed up in DC you need to consider the WHOLE. We always try to get the perfect man to be POTUS, but only have warm bodies to choose from.

    We got a start in 2010. Work on that good start and make it better.

    However, until they gain enough maturity to move from ideologues to pragmatists they might continue to influence the discussion for a time but have limited influence beyond that. If they can't manage that transition they will fade quickly.

    They need to stop acting like spoiled kids with a new toy.
    OMG!!!! I agree with you that the Tea Party has potential. But they have NO LEADER----No "corporate headquarters", so to speak. The one thing I believe they do have is morality, which is lacking in the Ultra Left. And that works in our favor at the voting booth.
