Who Will Be the 2012 Republican Presidential Nominee? - Page 254 - Politics and Economics

Twice I've heard reporters on twitter say that Huntsman was complaining about campaigning. One of those times was on the day he announced.

I don't believe man made global warming anyway. It's called variance.

I've often wondered why climate time series look a bit like a poker tracker graph. It all makes sense now.

But Perry is now pro-science. He stated it was his reason for the inoculation program he pushed. From one pot hole to the next.

Not afaik.

I think the logical choice would be Gary Johnson, as he is in step with Ron Paul's libertarian ideals and has solid executive experience.

There's probably other people out there who share the same ideals who Ron Paul might pick but I just don't know of them.

Apparently Bachmann was on Leno last night? Anyway...

Quote:

He also questioned Bachmann about repeating an unconfirmed claim that a girl suffered "mental ******ation" after receiving the vaccine. That claim has been widely criticized by medical experts.

"Well, I wasn't speaking as a doctor, I wasn't speaking as a scientist," Bachmann said. "I was just relating what this woman said."

Why didn't anyone tell me that was all it took to be a scientist?

You just need to understand the method of the "Think System". Everybody knows the patented Harold Hill method is far superior to any PhD generated process of learning.

We're asking you, the voters to make your preference clear. If you're for Free Trade. Vote for Ron Paul.

Manufacturing has diminished and been outsourced since the 1970s. The population is increasing exponentially. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know the result of this.

Not true. The increase from the 1990 Census to the 2000 Census was 32,712,033. The increase from the 2000 Census to the 2010 Census was 27,323,632. Our population is increasing arithmetically, not exponentially. If it was exponential, the 2000-2010 increase would have had to have been a number larger than 32,712,033.

Let's hope that something like this happens at the next GOP debate.

Has Obama been gaining in popularity or are the Rep candidates just falling?

I wish I could sit and have a beer with some Perry voters. Or be a fly on the while while they discuss politics. I know I have a lot of liberals around me and am exposed to the 'lamestream media' but I not only do not know a single Perry supporter, everyone I do know thinks he's frightening.

I'm really curious what the people who are picking Perry know about him that they like. Or is simply a looks thing?
