Not that this means much. Ron Paul is first or second every year but never gets very far.

From what I understand it was an incredibly close second place. Bachman won by something like 100 votes.

And she's a native of Iowa.

That being said, I don't see Ron Paul ever being a serious contender for Presidency, but I can see him being a spoiler for one of the candidates and stealing just enough votes from one platform to change the outcome of the nomination.

For the most part, more extreme right wing ideals haven't found root in Canada, but the more your political spectrum shifts right, the more everyone else's does. Our conservative party has become much more Republican than it was is the "Progressive Conservative" days... which is like one of those "I'm nostalgic for a time I wasn't even alive in" situations

To be fair it was easy to stand on principle and lofty ideals when the conservative vote was split between the PC and the Reform Party, and there was no chance of them winning an election. Just ask the the NDP. 😎

Ron Paul will be 76.5 years old if he won the presidency. Way too old.

Yeah, man, we need someone young and, like, fresh, with new ideas. Not some old fuddy-duddy who has lived through the decline of America, who has witnessed firsthand the disastrous results of the welfare-warfare state. We need someone who will parrot the party line and tell us what we want to hear.

I'm talking about a health perspective. Reagan left presidency when he was 77.

Canada? Better than America? Canada has hate speech laws. Your country is a piece of shit. No matter America's flaws, the fact that you can be fined for making fun of gays indicates what a shitty, HIV+ nation you have.

It's going to be a sad day when the Mods eventually permaban you. I love your posts so god damn much.

And he died when he was 93.

RE: Blaxican #gottem

He prolly woulda died a lot earlier if he'd been president longer though, I imagine.

F*ckin' burn, eh? I'd better head over to the burn ward and not pay anything to get it treated.

And had been showing signs of serious alzheimers for like 15 years.

A younger, fresh president was necessary for 2008. And maintaining that (now experienced) president for a second term to fully implement and see through the new ideas and policies is what is needed for 2012.

Of course, nothing turns out the way it should. Our politics are partisan off the charts. If Obama wins 2012, I fear for more compromises. If a Republican wins 2012, I worry about leadership (none of the candidates strike me as someone I want representing and running America...especially Bachman).

Everything you just said is wrong and sounds like the kind of drivel I'd expect from an Obama supporter desperately trying to justify his voting record.

See, the politics aren't really that partisan. In fact, the majority of Americans are pretty centrist. They generally support higher taxes on the wealthy and things like a public option when they are presented in a neutral light. The hardcore Republican Baby Boomer turds are the ones with the most political influence right now, however, and they get all up in arms at the thought of "socialism" and "raising my taxes" and "not outsourcing jobs while paying Americans a living wage" because the Boomers are the worst generation in recent history. They are selfish and moronic in the extreme, and their policies reflect this. Cut taxes! Expand Medicare! Start wars!

**** 'em all.

It's useless to debate him. He put "zeal" in his name for a reason.

Translation: McCain was an old dude; we needed someone youthful in office. We needed someone who wasn't an "old hat" to the political ring, someone who was capable of thinking outside the mold. Obama has learned a lot from his four years as president and he's just struggling to implement them. Once he's re-elected, he'll have a foolproof strategy for getting the GOP on his side and then he'll pass all of his progressive legislation. We're one term away from a total turnaround of America!

Bachmann isn't making it to the end. Unless you mean Gingrich with Bachmann as VP.

But the GOP learned what a bad idea it is to have a strong Presidential runner and have a retarded woman tagging along last election, so that's most likely a no too.
