Lets get it right and support Trump 2012. Honest tell it like it is speech makes for a rewarding canidate that could unite the voters. Remember last time? I'm still trying to forget and if John McCain runs again I'm sending him back to the Hanoi Hilton

I am so tired of hearing that stupid term! Just because someone is curious about why someone spends so much time trying to hide something that apparently exists is a mystery and doesn't mean they are obsessed or out of line. All Trump is saying is "show me the money". Everyone who minimizes the story is trying to balance on a politically correct fence. What I love about Trump is his unabashed ability to say what he wants without regret and fear of backlash. The biggest thing we can see now, evident by recent polling numbers, is the fact that people are responding to such candor. Stop apologizing for people's honesty. Trump caters to all of those egotistical celebrities week after week on Celebrity Apprentice and yet is still able to shoot it to them straight. And they are all dying to get on his show whether they agree with him or not. Funny how someone so polarizing may be able to generate support from both sides.

Superman is here! It's Mitt Romney!!!!!! The guy is an economic genius. Give him a chance. If you do your research and don't just listen to the jerks who don't like him, you're see that he's a proven leader. He spent most of his life saving companies from economic crisis. He's exactly who we need. Now.

One neglected candidate, an outsider with real world economic experience and who (as President of the National Restaurant Association) was instrumental in defeating HillaryCare, is Herman Cain. His polling numbers, where he is included, show a very high positive intensity score that is being maintained as his name recognition continues to rise.
And unlike most in this dream sequence, Cain is neck deep in the exploratory phase of his campaign.

Mitt Romney would be the ideal nominee for the Republicans. He could give Obama a serious run for the money. He's also the ONLY one of the current GOP contenders with an IQ higher than your average half-eaten box of Milk Duds.
There's just one teeny weeny problem:
The religious bigots and crazy people who long ago hijacked the "party of Abraham Lincoln" will never - EVER - nominate a Mormon. As the old Ringo Starr song says: "Pigs will fly and the earth will fry" before THAT ever happens.
Rham Emanuel will be made chairman of the American Nazi party before THAT ever happens.
David Duke will be made head of the NAACP before THAT ever happens.
Isn't life beautiful?
Romney would be their ideal nominee. The problem is the fact that most Republicans are too dumb to figure out this ultimate of no-brainers.
Don't hold your breath.

Come on Mary Kate....you're kidding, right? Paul Ryan?? Chris Christy?? Jeb Bush????
There is already one candidate in this race who can and will do anything that these clowns "talk about" except he would do it better, and he has been doing it for the past 30 years. That candidate is Ron Paul! None of these Johnny-come-lately's have the principles or the genuine desire to make the changes necessary to save our nation from financial destruction except for Congressman Ron Paul. Paul Ryan's so-called "budget" is using a butterknife to cut down a Redwood. Chris Christy's "astonishing" balanced budget in New Jersey is no big deal when you consider the size of New Jersey. Let's see him do the same thing in California? Jeb Bush is just another empty suit establishment clown. If this is your idea of a dream team Mary Kate, it's time to wake up from this bad dream.
Ron Paul for President in 2012! Our only hope for America!
