I want us to run quickly away from this "progressive" government that looks for a government take over of any aspect of private industry that presents itself as a target. But, I don't want us to run into the nannystatism that neocons usher in. Do we really want politicians legislating morality and setting the country's moral compass? Those of you who were not poker players would not remember the UIGEA that was snuck in at literally 11:00 pm as an amendment to a port security bill, the UIGEA was never brought up on the floor and attached to "must pass" legislation.
I am SOOOO hungry for a candidate with libertarian views without the insane foriegn policy ideas of Ron Paul. This absense of a palatable candidate is making me take a serious look at Herman Cain..........man, I want a VIABLE candidate that sounds more like him.
I agree. Ron Paul has some good points about domestic issues but I'm a little leary about his foregin policy.I think he would be a better president than BO but theres better choices out there. Herman Cain on the other hand sounds pretty darn good behind that podium. That is gona be the true test of the republican candidate. I think Herman Cain will squash oh-blah-blah in a debate. Time will tell.
