To Bill Hedges of MO:

Keep trying to push that un-electable, inevitable Newt Romney thing. Sorry.

These polls are of Republican voters, not Independent women voters. You need us and you don't have us. Ron Paul 2012.

Olenka of WA Part 2...Paul just beating Michele Bachmann by 2 %. Newt nearly triples Paul. Paul has less than 1/2 of Mitt in second place. End for Ron Paul could be after first four Sates vote...

I read some articles supporting Ron Paul and claims made that Ron Paul gained in last debate. I'm not big on State polls but no State polls was mention. So was all wishful assumptions on their part. No solid proof. In Gallop poll given Paul rose 1%. Changes a little each day.

What baloney...

I keep asking Ron Paul supporters and get NO ANSWER. What has Ron Paul accomplished ?

Newt worked with both parties and got balanced budget, reduced taxes and got more revenue for government, surplus, last civil rights bill passed, and welfare reform. That's reducing government. All connected with CONTRACT WITH AMERCA. I never hear Ron Paul's record mentioned.

Enlighten me...

Independent women don't care about which party is in power either, which is a problem for the GOP establishment.

This nation is being starved of job growth and small business capital, probably intentionally just to win the 2012 election.

The only candidate that appeals to Independents is one that cares about people, citizens, and the Constitution-- our rights to privacy. That would be Ron Paul in 2012. He understands the economy far better than anyone else running.

I'm with you. Who does obuma WORK FOR ? George Soros ? Warren Buffet ? Unions ? Acorn ?

The worse part about obuma MOST DON'T KNOW. Loaning many $$$ trillions to foreign banks. Some of those Countries may pay back 50 cents on the $$$. Yesterday I posted links obuma loaning Brazil. Helping George Soros enterprise. Not local oil. We can't drill here for the most part.. Now I will post helping Buffet and big supporter for obuma UNIONS. NO need to mention the alternative energy companies we loaned, friends of obuma, that got parts from Mexico going bankrupt. With obuma as President why worry about Iran:

obuma is earning his $$$ billion in campaign money the old fashion way_ Helping his “millionaire & billionaire” friends with our BORROWED taxed $$$. At least Buffet could do is have his companies pay BACK TAXES going back to 2002. I thought Buffet wanted to pay MORE TAXES. RIGHT brucetee ? Some of his companies are not paying what is OWED FOR YEARS.

Who said women like democrats? Good grief! They are bankrupting America with these TRILLION dollar deficits which show no sign of slowing. We have gone from $10 to $15 TRILLION in 2-1/2 years. At this rate we are headed toward a sovereign debt crisis and Great Depression #2. This batch of democrats scare me to death.

The best analogy for women that sticks in my mind comes from the movie, "Jeremiah Johnson". It was Bear Claw Chris Lapp who said, "....don't get me wrong; I loves the womens, I surely do. But I swear, a woman's breast is the hardest rock that the Almighty ever made on this earth, and I can find no sign on it."

Larry Allman of CA 8:11AM December 17, 2011

Am watching FOX and they are discussing the pay roll deduction along with the cave in President may make on pipeline and the false “millionaire and billion tax.” Previously obuma showed his LACK OF BACKBONE in not coming out if he was for or against the pipeline. This gets shale oil to the hub on oil refineries from Canada. Not U.S.A. shale oil because ours is mostly on government land and you know obuma won't allow. We have MORE OIL IN SAND/SHALE than Saudi Arabia has oil.

I know more about the above than I know about the mind of women. Politics I put self imposed OFF LIMITS for discussion to my daughter and wife. I grew up Democrat and went Republican when Bill C. became President and now TEA. Favorite saying of mine heard long ago you are suppose to be liberal when young and conservative as you grow older. Want a touch of liberalism in you but just a touch...

Kinda weird ?@? obuma wife invited to armed forces ball, similar to movie stars are being asked, next year by a military man. She said she would HAVE TO ASK HER HUSBAND but she would love to. Wonder if obama would chaperone the dance if she say YES ??? POLITICALLY you know she will and wonder if SET UP. Obuma does his best to STOP our service personnel from voting...
