Yes, that is the guy we need for president. It is great that in a time when the country needs fixing, we should get involved in another war. And why? Because they force all citizens to get an education and have free medical care. No one wants that. All other tirants in the Americans don't force people to have free education and medical care. And you wonder what is wrong with America. We put these bozos in power.

Fidel Castro Ruz took over Cuba on January 1, 1959 and has ruled with an iron hand since then.

Everything else is window dressing and hogwash.

If Fidel so much as whispers in his sleep to send someone to the firing squad, that person is a dead man walking.

Period, end of discussion.

Why are Mitt, Newt and Rick even running for president when all three are "unelectable"?

I will start with Mitt. This guy excites no one, has a lame plan for the economy, is not a conservative, can not speak without a teleprompter, and has a very narrow constituency consisting of Mormons, rich people, old people, and people who pick a president based on appearance only.

Newt is an arrogant windbag with no morals, he's unethical, like Mitt also has a lame plan, and most notably has no mathematical chance to win the nomination because he missed the deadline to file his candidacy in too many states now (including his home state of Virginia). He's wasting his time, and valuable face time that could be better utilized by a "serious" candidate like Ron Paul. Newt is also the supreme hypocrite, having cheated on two of his wives (one while she had cancer), and then persecuting Bill Clinton for his adultery at the very same time during the 1990's. Newt is simply a disgrace to our nation!

Rick (Santorum) is a BIG GOVERNMENT homophobe and panderer to the religious right with a plan even lamer than his two counterparts. Rick does not have the temperment to be president, as he would attack every nation on the planet with a crazy dictator. Rick is dangerous because he is just as crazy as the dictators he wants to bomb. The good thing is that Rick already had his 15 minutes of fame in Iowa and won't be going anywhere in any other states, so he will eventually run out of money and drop out.

Only Ron Paul has a "real" plan for the economy, and will handle our foreign policy issues correctly and rationally. Only Ron Paul has the national groundwork in place to win enough delegates to win the nomination, and the support from such a varied constituency that Mitt and Newt could only wish to have. Ron Paul also has the best chance to beat Obama, so why are we going to continue to talk about Mitt and Newt; two guys who cannot beat Obama no matter what they say, or how many times they say it! The choice is obvious and is right there in front of us. America needs Ron Paul!

Ron Paul 2012!!

Shame on you Mr. Bennett,

An Objective commentary would have included Ron Paul's insightful and honest debate response to the Castro/Cuba question! As you well know it was quite different than the three pandering stooges: Romney; Gingrich and Santorum. What you have peddled here is just establishment "two party paradigm" spin - not a viable assessment of what actually transpired at the debate regarding this particular issue! Ron Paul's views on foreign policy deserve to be objectively discussed not only in contrast and comparison with the three stooges but with President Obama as well! The American people need to be told there is an alternative to the status quo -too bad you don't have the professional ethic and back bone to do it! Mr. Bennett, there is always tomorrow - never to late too do the right thing!

Ron Paul is the alternative!

Ron Paul 2012!

We Won't Get Fooled Again!
