Republican Primaries

Mitt Romney wins in New Hampshire, 36%. I hv now started to follow this and I like his message "Believe in America"

[mammadon]

I feel Obama will lose, and it deserved.

As for Romney, well I don't like any of the GOP candidates.

[saltwater]

I think it is to early to say Obama will lose....and there are signs the economy is picking up which I think will be a determining factor for Obama

He's basically the annointed one. The one the Republican Party power structure prefers and 'guides' the public towards.

What do you think of Dr Ron Paul.

I dont think he was the anointed one. He is Mormon and the Christian Republicans dont like that but the other candidates are not very appealing

The election might well be decided by the computer voting system and their Israeli programmers.

You don't think the Republican Party power structure prefers Mitt Romney?
Actually they might prefer Gingrich, but Romney is more outwardly appealing.

[Maccogirl]

Dont like Romney, but I feel he will win the next election, not because of his popularity, but simply because so many in America now want to see Obama out of the WH, already on the US blogs the talk is anyone but Obama.

Agree...

[Maccogirl]

What Obama can do is start a war, America has a hard time voting against a sitting President during a war, so keep and eye on the lookout for that one.

Wall Street has already began leaning towards Obama ... But it is still a ways off yet. The key note to listen for comes about 3 months before the Elections. If Wall Street start posting steady gains ... is an Obama win. Should there be a steady decline ... Obama will lose.

the first contest was the iowa caucus
http://caucuses.desmoinesregister.co...aucus/results/

Romney barely won with 24.6%
Santorum second with 24.5%
Ron Paul with 21.4%
Gingrich with 13.3%
Perry with 10.3%
Bachmann with 5%
Huntsman with 0.6%

Bachmann dropped out after this.


New Hampshire results

Romney first with 39.3 %
Ron Paul with 22.9 %
Huntsman with 16.9 %
Gingrich with 9.4%
Santorum with 9.4%
Perry with 0.7%


next up is the South Carolina Primary.

Romney is running as the candidate of the Republican establishment / big business

the right wing social conservative vote is currently split between Santorum Gingrich and Perry which is very well what may allow Romney to win despite being a Mormon.

Paul is running as the candidate of the libertarian/ anti govt wing of the party, however he is disliked by the other parts of the GOP.


personally I think Romney is going to win the GOP nomination and then lose the general to Obama. Obama is doing pretty well in the polls for a incumbent with 8% unemployment

errrr; I figure it's the other way around; finally after all these years the troops are (officially) out of Iraq; they started war in Libya, and Syria is supposed to be on the hitlist but they're being done in a proxy way so as not to be so visible .

But if Obama openly starts an announced war, it will take away the one edge he has on most of the Republican candidates (except Dr Paul).

But once he stays out of war, and comes up against a warmongering Republican, he's going to carry that antiwar wave that he won on the first time around.

[edyle]

They could preach paul.

That's the point. To preach the message of LIBERTY.
The Campaign for Liberty.
The Campaign for Liberty will carry on with or without Dr Paul, and emerge as part of the 2nd American Revolution for Liberty.

[saltwater]

I think Romey's msg 'Believe in America' is a powerful one.
part of his speech after he won in NH...

This election is a choice between two very different destinies.
President Obama wants to “fundamentally transform” America. We want to restore America to the founding principles that made this country great.
He wants to turn America into a European-style entitlement society. We want to ensure that we remain a free and prosperous land of opportunity.
This President takes his inspiration from the capitals of Europe; we look to the cities and small towns of America.

I'm supporting Ron Paul this round even if he loses. President Obama did not keep his promises - especially the one about abolishing The Patriot Act. Moreover, he unilaterally bombed Libya which did not declare war nor attack the USA, and he didn't get the okay from Congress. The President cannot declare war with Congress' approval, and bombing Libya was an act of war on our part. Furthermore, he just signed legislation while Congress was not in session which effectively nullifies the Constitution and The Bill of Rights.

Paul is running as the candidate of the libertarian/ anti govt wing of the party, however he is disliked by the other parts of the GOP.

Is Paul for Anti Government?

Obama was programmed to "Fail" even before he was elected.

Guess who's raising money for Romney: Big wigs from private equity firms


By NBC's Michael Isikoff
Mitt Romney faces continued criticism over his refusal so far to release the names of his campaign “bundlers” -- the big money fundraisers who have helped him rake in tens of million dollars for his presidential race.

But two invitations to Romney private fundraisers, obtained by NBC News, reveal where many of them come from: big private equity firms.
It's the same corporate buyout industry where Romney, as chief of Bain Capital, made his personal fortune and which, in recent days, has become a campaign lightening rod.

advertisementSteve Schwartzman, co-chairman of the Blackstone Group, the biggest of all Wall Street private equity firms, is listed as the “event co-chair” at both Romney events, including one tonight in Palm Beach, FL that is expected to bring in over $1 million. The invite for the event -- at the home of Miami Dolphins owner Steve Ross -- states that event co-chairs are responsible for raising at least $50,000 a piece. (Other co-chairs include billionaire financier and Home Depot founder Ken Langone, sugar baron Pepe Fanjul, and energy executive Bill Koch, whose two brothers head Koch Industries.) Schwartzman, whose firm has partnered with Bain Capital on deals since the 1980s, was dubbed by Fortune in a 2007 cover story as “The New King of Wall Street.” He also kicked off a firestorm two years ago, when he compared the battle over President Obama’s proposal to increase the tax rate paid by private equity partners to a “war” like “when Hitler invaded Poland in 1939.” (Schwartzman later apologized for what he called “an inappropriate analogy.” )
But he is hardly the only Wall Street private equity baron that is bringing in large sums of cash for Romney’s campaign.
The invitation for another Romney campaign fundraiser -- slated for next Tuesday at New York’s Sheraton Hotel, and which a source tells NBC News is expected to bring in about $1.5 million -- lists Schwartzman and 23 others as “event co-chairs,” according to a copy the invite.
Of that total, 16 are from Wall Street private equity and venture capital firms, either as top executives, their lawyers, or lobbyists.
Among them: Wayne Berman, the Washington super-lobbyist (and Romney national finance co-chair) whose clients include Schwartzman’s Blackstone Group; Alex Navab, a top partner of KKR, another private equity powerhouse and the co-chief of its North American Private Equity portfolio; and Anthony Scaramucci, aka “The Mooch,” and chief of the Skybridge Partners hedge fund...

Granite State Voter Fraud
Dead people able to vote.

http://freedomfighterradio.net/2012/...see-the-proof/

Just a side note as to voter fraud and some ways that it does happen.

http://visiontoamerica.org/7154/sena...n-to-ron-paul/
Jim DeMint called the party back to its true ideological roots. He said that the refusal of the other candidates to listen to Ron Paul is to “our detriment.”
This must give food for thought to the more conservative voters in the Republican Party. So far the establishment has been dismissing Ron Paul, but every alternative candidate has a record of big-government state-ism and business as usual.
In 1975 the Republican Party and the conservative movement in general in the U.S. were still close enough to the original principles of the American conservatism and the ideology of the Founding Fathers for Ronald Reagan to be able to write the following words:
If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals–if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.
There was no reaction against these words of Reagan at the time. All Republicans understood that Reagan was right, and that he wasn’t inventing a new Republicanism but only following in the steps of the previous generations of true conservatives.
------------

Of all the candidates I like what Ron Paul stands for.

Is Paul for Anti Government?

Can't find an answer for those false reports from your bad news sources?
Let me straighten out your propaganda.
Ron Paul is not anti government. He is anti BIG government. He is for LIMITED government.
