Mitt Romney is the Goldman Sachs candidate. I will not vote for him for a number of reasons including the fact that he is weak on civil liberties. Plus, he has not convinced me that there is a major difference between Obamacare and Romneycare. Also, the fact that Romney's foreign policy advisors come from the Bush adminsitration is a big negative.

To Jake of In, you think America is crazy then? Are you aware that most of our founders were "libertarian"? Only back then it was called "liberal", so now we say "classical liberal" for the founders.. it's the same as libertarian is today. Also, for the past 70 years or so, what we term "libertarian" today has been called "conservative", so now we say "traditional conservative" regarding these small government Constitutionalists who are in favor also of personal freedoms for the people. Ron Paul is a "traditional conservative".
Neo-conservative is a cat of a different color, though. Are you neo-conservative Jake? Why is it that neo-conservatives feel they can dictate everyone's lifestyle? Can you explain such oppressive beliefs? Do you favor the only world superpower launching pre emptive military strikes which often kill other people's kids? Neo-conservatives Do. In fact it's one of their Strongest beliefs. Which beliefs are you saying are crazy? Would you like to explain it Jake?
Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich are all neo-conservatives.
Ron Paul is a traditional conservative. Ron Paul for President.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints and their fellow Christians all believe in the self-proclaimed prophet by the name of Moses, who's commandment tablets have never been found.
The only belief crazy in this race is libertarianism.

It's Mitt and the Amazing Magic Underwear.
Just remember a few things folks; this is a guy who believes the writings of a self-proclaimed prophet named Joseph Smith. Now, let's not forget that Joseph Smith was drunkard and a renowned con-man who died at the hands of an angry mob in Missouri. Joseph Smith was never able to show proof of the "gold plates" that he spoke of, or anything else in this sci-fi book called The Book of Mormon. Do you really want to nominate a guy who believes things like this? If so, maybe he should choose Santa Claus to be his running mate!
It's either Ron Paul or 4 more years of Obama!
