What!? He's anything but an idiot! Despite our ideological differences, it'd be unfair to say he's that much wrong if/when we disagree with him (besides, we can err just as much).

Even if he is right he should be punished for not believing in what we believe in.

Originally posted by Lews Honestly, Kev, what is your opinion about the main Republican candidates right now? Because they all scare me.

I'm pretty unhappy at the moment... but it's early as hell. A year and 5 months out from the 2008 election, it was a given that Hillary was a lock. The old establishment guys like Newt and Romney don't do it for me (although if they got the nomination, I would certainly vote for them over Obama). Newt is one of the smartest guys around, a historical genius, and would obliterate Obama in a debate... but he goes way off the reservation, hates to be challenged, and has too much personal baggage. His day has come and gone. John Huntsman is McCain part duex- peace out douchebag.

I wouldn't mind Rick Perry jumping in- 47% of all jobs created in the US in 2010 happened in Texas which is a great thing to stand behind right now, and he isn't a squishy McCain type loser who panders in the identity politics arena. I also wouldn't mind Chris Christie for the most part (even with a couple of RINO tendencies), but he won't run. Whoever gets the nomination needs to get a solid fucking VP candidate on the ticket. That may be the deciding factor.

haha! sweet hit piece. it still doesn't change the facts that TX's policies create a business friendly atmosphere, and is a major job creating engine. California is more resource rich than Texas, and they are in shambles. And, I should add, the article claims some of his success is due to "poaching" businesses from other states. That's such hilarious crap! Companies go where the atmosphere is more inviting... Perry doesn't have to poach, the situation sells itself.

That's why he had huge tax credits and other incentives to bring people to his state and wrote a letter to all the major corporations in my state. For the situation, man.

well, i think americans had their fill of Texas governors becoming president

ahh good point... I do remember that now. Hey whatever works. If California wants to be competitive (or Washington state for that matter), then make your state more business friendly and compete!

Whatever works? I thought it was "RICK PERRY BEST REPUBLICAN ECONOMIST EVER. HE MADE TEXAS AMAZING. AND THROUGH PURE OLD FASHIONED GOOD REPUBLICAN TACTICS."

Oh wait? He did it through huge funds under his control (government stimulus?!?!?!)??


Bahahahahaha. So you say we need less government interference in business and then you give as an example your hero Republican governor who managed to make a ton of jobs in his state by using government money. Fantastic!

My... my hero Republican governor?? Dude you're going overboard there. When I said "whatever works" I was saying there's nothing wrong with offering companies in other states incentives to bring them to Texas. I'll have to double check, but was Perry even able to reject that portion of stimulus money? Anyway, having no state income tax (the very definition of less govt. interference) is HUGELY attractive for companies... that's something that will get them to move for the long term, not a 1 time incentive.

Perhaps, but if he really is creating jobs for his state, I may consider voting for him next year, if he even runs. I'm so sick of this "spending cuts" and "tax cuts" crap. I need a Pres who's interested in domestic job creation.

And I can assure you I would never vote for a politician to the WH from our so called "Golden State." Thanks for nothing Arnold.

But look man, the eagle is ATTACKING her! she must be an enemy of freedom!

Arnold talked a big game at the start, quoting Milton Friedman and shit, but acquiesced like most politicians and turned into yet another big government spender leaving a wake of destruction in his path.

I haven�t read a single post in this thread, but I�d wager kev is talking out his balls again.

haha... nah man Lews asked me what I thought about the current GOP crop and I voiced my displeasure for the most part. We're just talking a little about Rick Perry right now.

Yes, the governor who loved the united states so much, he wanted texas to secede from it Or whos big plan for jobs is to get all the governors together and pray to jesus to make the economy better (because his previous task of praying for rain worked so beautifully).


Whats that saying now, you dont get the government you need, you get the government you deserve


The inconvenient truth here is, even though i might not disagree with your policies on everything (just most things )i do disagree with your party on everything. Shame really, as they do come up with a good idea once in a while (like the current health care reform, which was a republican idea ), but sadly the good ideas swim in a toxic pool of religious bullshit and sadly they cannot be compartmentalised.

And i would take issue with the alleged fiscal responsibility of the republican crop. Granted i dont know all the republicans, just the more vocal, media happy ones, bu among those that are in the spotlight i can only name two that align with your own beliefs, the terrible two of small government conservatism who are perceived as to fringe to ever be elected to the main office, Rand and Ron Paul. I still disagree with almost everything they say, but i at least believe them when they say they want a limited government.

I cannot say that for any other republican currently in office. At least the liberals have a "tax and spend" policy, the republicans have a "no tax and spend even more!" policy. Now you run your own business, i used to for a while, so we both should know that if one increases spending while simultaneously taking in less money, that person would be fucked, and thats putting it mildly. So from my point of view i cannot see how anything the mainstream republicans do could ever balance the books, as they seem to be unable to cut more than they are spending.
ANd i honestly cannot believe them when they say they are for a limited government when on one side they are crying for less regulation and on other are very eager to enforce regulation on everyone that doesnt align with their beliefs...religious beliefs that is, and here the inability to compartmentalise comes into play. Or do you have another explanation for why republicans (not a democrat among them) want to restrict abortion so much, they wont even allow it for rape victims.


Ill end with one of my favourite Bill Maher Quotes.



"Over the last 30 odd years, Democrats have moved to the right and the right has moved into the mental hospital. So what we have is one perfectly good party for hedge fund managers, credit card companies, banks, defense contractors, big agriculture and the pharmaceutical lobby... That's the Democrats. And they sit across the aisle from a small group of religious lunatics, flat-earthers and civil war re-enactors who mostly communicate by AM radio and call themselves the Republicans and who actually worry that Obama is a socialist. Socialist? He's not even a liberal." �Bill Maher

You people need to stop the butthurt Republicans vs. Democrats crap already and realize that all polititians suck.
