Newt is full of hot air. Why replace one failed leader (Obama) with another failed leader (Newt)? Romney is the best all around candidate for the GOP. He does not have all the personal baggage that Newt has ---- and there are more ugly items to come out

Newt is a cannon rolling around on the deck, plus he has more baggage than TWA. Paul is way too extreme (even for Repubs), libertarians are fascinating short term but have no legs. Romney will be fresh meat for Obama come debate time, plus Romney is dull and boring and has no spark. Sad the Repubs couldn't find better candidates.

eleanor - are you really that naive? sure his message is less government but if you think that means making the system any less corrupt you are only fooling yourself. i'm a finscally conservative republican but under paul unless you are loaded you would be f'ed

Paul keeps all his assets in gold bullion for pete's sake, what a nut. De-regulation and the totally free market is a myth, it is not sustainable, eventually, the greedy triumph and you get 2007 all over again.

Free market isn't for freeloaders. Thats why many democrats don't like it :) All Oblamer does is blame away the mess he made.
