Good post, ele. For some reason, I'm liking the fact that Gingrich is coming up in the poles and is right now even with Romney. I can't like Romney for some reason.....little eery of him...but not too confident with many choices this time. He, like the one we have, now, seems to have a stubborn attitude with a deceiving smile. I like Herman Cain, just wonder if he will be able to handle the foreign affairs.....although he is getting advice from Kissenger and other advisors. And Ginghrich is smart, is ready with an answer to everything, and just maybe a Ginghrich/Cain ticket would work......who knows? We just have to come up with someone who will beat Obama, but also know what they are doing in the process. Where's that Freethinker when you need her. I told her one time that she should run. ;D

If Gingrich is the nominee, the Republican party should never be allowed to talk "family values" again...
Ron Paul is the only honest person running for the GOP nomination. Period. Although the forces that be would never allow him to be elected, and if somehow he were, they would destroy him one way or another...

The last national polls I saw had Gingrich in the lead, followed by Romney and then Cain. Cain is still in the lead in South Carolina, for now.

Gingrich is now in the lead nationally, as well as in Iowa and South Carolina. It's amazing how folks can ignore a man's record to the extent that Republicans are now (and have been) doing. The race for the Republican nomination appears to have come down to two intelligent, knowledgeable men in Gingrich and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. Neither of them has a history of down-the-line conservatism. Gingrich can match Romney flip-flop for flip-flop and heresy for heresy. He has supported cap-and-trade legislation, federal funding for embryonic stem- cell research, the expansion of Medicare to cover prescription drugs and a federal requirement for everyone to buy health insurance. He has been neither more consistent nor more conservative than Romney. www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-12-06/heartbreak-awaits-republicans-who-love-gingrich-ramesh-ponnuru.html

www.forbes.com/sites/benzingainsights/2011/06/17/ron-paul-should-be-the-next-president-of-the-united-states/All of this could have been averted if we had taken heed of Dr. Ron Paul’s warnings years ago. This man has been fighting with absolute integrity and honesty for the values that this country was founded on for the last 30 years – sound money, balanced budgets, free markets, non-interventionist foreign policy and civil liberties. Most every other GOP Presidential candidate is an Establishment panderer who is beholden to entrenched special interests.

So, I'm guessing you are a Paul supporter Jack?
I am not sure what I would do if Paul was the nominee. I'm reasonably okay with his domestic positions but strongly disagree with his foreign policies.
I am also rather disqusted at some of his commericals.

I've supported Ron Paul for many years (voted for him in the 2008 primary). I agree with his foreign polices (what right does America have to interfere in the business of any other sovereign country, unless of course, they attack us or attack is reasonably imminent?). His foreign policy, after all, was the same as George Washington and many other founders of what was the American republic, before it became the American empire. It is hypocritical to interfere or intervene in the affairs of another country, but then say that the U.S. is sovereign and therefore off limits to outside interference from other countries.
Which commercials do you mean?

So, should we have stayed out of Germany?
I will try to remember some details of the commercial - I was really bothered by it - I didn't like him before but it fully turned me off.
