Now that we have been treated to a series of GOP candidates' debates, as well as the subsequent analysis of each, which GOP candidate do you prefer, and why?
If you prefer Obama for a second term, why?
Inquiring mind would like to know.
Because we haven't had nearly enough of these kinds of threads.
My current take-
1) Obama has been a miserable failure as a president. Jimmy Carter takes on a whole new luster by comparison. he doesn't deserve a second term and he'd do us all a favor by not running for one. Unfortunately the GOP hasn't given us a lot of good alternatives.
2) Romney is a horrible human being. Simply put, I can't see a scenario where I could ever vote for him. I don't like him. don't like his religion, don't like his business practices, don't like his sleazy operating procedures.
3) I could vote for Gingrich. While I think his ego is a problem, and he's shown some poor judgment in the past, he's also highly intelligent with a record of getting things done. He'd be an effective president.
4) I really wanted to like Rick Perry. I could still vote for him, but he's not made the case for himself.
5) Herman Cain- Can't vote for him at all. Again, wanted to like him, but he's an ingnoramas. I'm not saying he's ignorant. I'm saying he doesn't seem interested in learning about things he's not interested in, and frankly, if your president, you are going to have to do some things that bore you.
6) Santorum- Not sure why he's running.
7) Bachmann- Religious whacko...
8) Paul- Whacko.
9) Huntsman- GUy, you are running in the wrong party.
