i want a president that is a cool dude that holds beer summits.

Well, yeah, I let that one slide. I mean, if the lybruls really think the financial disaster has been averted and that this is a recovery, then yeah, I'd probably want to go for someone with higher standards of economic prosperity.

not if he holds cops in the same regards as he does border agents.

We need a president that can get more people on disability in one month than jobs created.

Speaking of that, has anyone checked if Mittens has a valid birth certificate?? Because that's likely to come up, and he doesn't look very American (code for white) to me. He's pretty tan.

Put Pakistan in it's place? What world do you live in? They continue to take our aid, thumb their noses at us, harbor the terrorists who continue to kill our soliders, and shut our NATO supply lines every time they get their panties in a bunch, with no penalties from us. Obama has been a dismal failure on Pakistan.

I think Donald Trump needs to send some private I's to investigate this with all 13 grandmothers.

Oh I don't know. Barry's drones have killed any number of Pakistani civilians. Maybe Vlad considers that "putting them in their place?"

what do you expect from people whose motivation is not to support their candidate but to oppose the other candidate. We know their true motivation and it's not that they thing Mittens can do a better job.

Mitt Romney is tied with President Obama, according to a new Washington Post/ABC News poll, but the people who plan to vote for him are motivated more by their opposition to the president than by their support for the Republican challenger.

"The survey published Tuesday showed 47 percent of registered voters favor Obama and 47 percent prefer Romney. The former Massachusetts governor has closed a 3-point gap since the poll was conducted last, in May.

But if voters are moving toward Romney, it is not because they back him enthusiastically, the poll indicated. Fifty-nine percent of likely Romney voters characterized their decision as a vote against Obama; only 37 percent called it a vote for Romney.

By contrast, 75 percent of likely Obama voters called their choice a vote for the president and just 23 percent termed it a vote against Romney."

I'm a libertarian, so Pakistan can take care of its own problems as far as I'm concerned.

Well, to be fair, we've made them our problem.

I'm all for a strong national defense. And it should go without saying that no one wants to see terrorists strike on U.S. soil. But these piddly-ass drone strikes and police forces and other bullshit approaches make things worse, not better.

I can't possibly state this better than Ron Paul, who's position is:

* Make securing our borders the top national security priority.

* Avoid long and expensive land wars that bankrupt our country by using constitutional means to capture or kill terrorist leaders who helped attack the U.S. and continue to plot further attacks.

* Guarantee our intelligence community’s efforts are directed toward legitimate threats and not spying on innocent Americans through unconstitutional power grabs like the Patriot Act.

* End the nation-building that is draining troop morale, increasing our debt, and sacrificing lives with no end in sight.

* Follow the Constitution by asking Congress to declare war before one is waged.

* Only send our military into conflict with a clear mission and all the tools they need to complete the job – and then bring them home.

Liberals like yourself used to be opposed to them, well until one of their own started pulling the trigger that is
