    I love this line of argument, as if Obama's professed belief in the resurrection is any more plausible.

    Perhaps he has lied about his campaign promises.

    But the people you seem to support have lied about things like claiming that the govt. has taken over health care, or that the health care reform bill would have death panels, include govt. take over etc.

    Not much is more weasel like than Rand Paul and his comments about health care and belief in slavery.

    Paul's analogy of being "conscripted" sounds ridiculous. Just as ridiculous as the comments by Adrian Peterson that the NFL equated to "modern day slavery". It seems like all sorts of people are out of touch. Or maybe it's just rich a-holes

    Good Point! Vote for the Agnostic Secular Humanist Party for the advancement of society through cooperation, science and reason. We may never get elected to dogcatcher but at least we are probably right.

    But, back here in reality, I don't want to be the guy trying to defend the 6,000 year old planet theory. It's just to easy to drum up images of Jesus horses. The difference may just be where America draws the line at taboo. Anyone can make fun of Creationist but you can't make fun of religion per se, though there is no basis for either.

    Not quite true. If he has any wage income, he got a tax cut. The only thing he's "bragging" about is that (a) he has no wage income or (b) he's ignorant of Obama's policies.

    exactly, has he done everything he said he would, no. but he did do his biggest promise, healthcare. he is blocked from closing gitmo, he has ramped down on iraq and ramped up on afgahnistan. that's exactly what he said he would do. he ended don't ask don't tell by getting congress to eliminate. that's an underrated accomplishment. the only real dissappointment to me is his stances on wiretapping.

    Bachmann On 2012 Decision: 'We May Move That Up'

    "Well I think what this has changed is the grassroots, and what they're looking for," said Bachmann. "Our phones have been ringing off the hook, our Facebook has been lit up, our donations are pouring in. And people are saying, 'Michele, jump in, we want you to run.' And we had announced earlier that we would be looking at a June entry date for a decision one way or another about this race. Possibly, we may move that up."

    disagree. every nutjob who gets to actually be taken seriously, and be part of debates, etc, raises the nuttery temperature in the country. it will be easier to the next nutjob, and so forth.

    No to Bachmann. Easy to beat. Bad for everything and everybody.

    Huntsman and Daniels are going to be interesting serious candidates in the mix. Romney has the name, but he also has the loser label and no natural constituency. He's the favorite by default, but I think it's less than 50/50 that he ends up the nominee. This GOP is not the traditional GOP of the past that would basically annoint Romney.

    I'm starting to believe this, but I still think Romney will get it if he can survive the health care issue rocky waters.

    Daniels is interesting to me.
