10. Honestly I'd prefer mittens

looking at the pragmatic side, mitt would be good for the gop.
hes a solid moderate... while i WANT OBAMA to win, if... god help us, IF mitt were selected, he can be bullied and dealt with.

I actually see his changing at the drop of a hat as a good thing. it means that he's open to the political winds... folks that's us!

I'm not saying there will be anything liberal coming out of DC under mittens, but it means that a democratic congress WILL be able to push through bills that will probably slow down the raping and fucking of the middle class...


that and romney will be fairly easy to beat because the base H A T E S him!

santorum... while his ONLY base are the psychos in the party (his campaign would likely be the death of the republican party actually) ... NOT large enough to beat Obama.

what we DO NOT WANT.. is a brokered convention (i think we may get one anyway... which will also destroy the party imho) because they'll pull someone out of their ass that has had no vetting... like jeb bush.

Jeb seems reasonable enough to be able to pull alot of stupid democratic votes.
