Obama said he was for a balanced budget as well.. Maybe we should look at their history before trusting the garbage from their mouth. If anyone says, "Im for a balanced budget" without providing a specific plan, I know they are lying based on the historical credibility of all political candidates who claim this without providing a plan. If you look at credibility and budgets, Santorum has plenty justifications to cut budgets in one place and to spend in another. A classic example of the "left/right" paradigm claiming the other side is evil while they do the same thing in a different area and for a different justification. Government spending is the same regardless of the context.
Considering Obama it is a much better choice than what we have. Santorum is a Christian just like 70% of this country claim to be.
So you are willing to settle for mediocrity? Maybe Conservatives should continue to push Christie to enter the race. Maybe they should target Bobby Jindal. How about a Reagan look-alike?
For what? He's already missed filing deadlines at this point and Chris Christie is not as conservative as people would like to believe.
Nice liberal opinion but wrong. Santorum is more than social issues. He wants a balanced budget that is 18% of the GDP. Right now our debt is 100% of the GDP
I think the point IS that babies are unable to have a choice, hence the reason they are clearly not legally established to be legitimate living beings. Just as people feel they have a choice between democrats and republicans, there is no choice because you get the same thing. To many servicemen, they believe they have a choice, but when it comes to either being unemployed or to work at a low paying job, it is not much of a choice when competing with the benefits of service and the propaganda of the military. Some "choice" the young/poor/unemployed have. :/
They'll look at his record and have the same facial expression as when they look at Mitt Romney. It's a non-starter. If he wants to run, it'll be for the next cycle.
You seem to have it all figured out. Problem is Iran is making threats and we must not talk to them like a friend as Paul wants to do.
That hasn't happened since before the Great Depression, and it never will— not in my lifetime, nor in anyone's here.
I am not disregarding his economic stances. I am well aware of them. Cut $5 trillion over 5 years. Cut corporate taxes in half. Institute two tax brackets at 10% and 28%. Eliminate regulations that cost more than $100 million. However, his social stances clearly indicate to me that he is not a true proponent of small government.
I doubt Paul would actually spend time talking to them, why would he? They can't reach America. Should they hurt any American trade, the navy/air force would be able to rectify things within hours. Let them posture, my life stays the same and I save tax dollars.
We need a conservative and right now Santorum has the momentum and he is a conservative and not a libertarian like Paul. You are not likely to vote GOP anyway
It is the fear over Israel's safety that others care about. However, Israel has more than enough defense capabilities to defend itself.
Didn't Obama claim to be a unifier? Obama has created the largest divide in this country that I can remember
Maybe they are reacting to our involvement in the region just as the taliban was.. Is it us who has a threatening history in the region or them? Id say anything Iran is attempting to do now is in defense considering we have been directly involved in multiple countries as well as many other countries have now become destabilized in the region. If anything we should be sympathetic to the rough conditions that Iran is surrounded by at this point of time. But I think Israel and Iran should come up with their own solution to any problems they have between each other as well. Which some disagree with.
Nice deflection. Your attacks on Obama do not phase me. I am not voting for the President. Obama's one chance at unification came when the Boles-Simpson Commission provided him with their deficit and debt reduction plan. He threw it in the garbage.
Federal government legislated morality hinders upon the reserved powers. If you intend to forward a pro-life stance on a federal level, you are leaning towards the possiblity of the federal government passing a law banning the courts from ruling in favor of abortion and a federal definition of life (The Sanctity of Life Act). Small government advocates want the federal government out of social affairs. We don't want the federal government to define marriage, a reserved power, and to nullify the full faith and credit clause (DOMA). Keep all social affairs on a state level.
Still could care less. Not my problem. Israel has received enough Western money and technology to handle things should they need.
