The 'would be' candidates are all saying they want to be president. We have Newt, the adulterer, with his distorted views of history and his fundamentalist bent, who like to attack everyone for their moral slips, but fails to recognize his own failings. Now you have Ron Paul, another whack job (Libertarian) wanting to return the country to the 19th Century. As a father he failed, just look at his son, Rand Paul (I wonder, but have little doubt, that Rand is named after the darling of the Conservatives, Ayn Rand), who seems to have inherited the same twisted political logic, only about three shades more extreme. But consider the worship of Ayn Rand, the God hater, and you find he at least doesn't have a religious agenda to sell. Then you have Mitt Romney, a man, a Mormon, and one of the few that has done some things in his past that are somewhat progressive, namely creating the Massachusetts Health Plan, that was the model for the Obama Health Plan. But, I forgot, he can't be for universal health care and still be a candidate in the Republican Party. It is going to be onteresting, and I wonder how many civil liberties will be crushed under the boots of the fascist minions during the protests at the upcoming conventions? Both [parties will surely do their best to quell democracy as they pick their anointed one. Then comes the battle at the ballot box, with schemes by the Republicans to keep people from voting and actions by minor parties to split the liberal, progressive, independent vote. Either way we lose, just figure the Democrats are the lesser of two evils.
