but in my mind, Walker is the worst.

He's destroying our state and why people voted for the liar I'll never know.

who has had to cheat his way through life because he really doesn't have what it takes to achieve what the old man did without cheating and stepping on better people.

That's why I loathe him. I've seen his type all my life.

The only possible exception is Bush, but i can't stand the whole entitled family, so i cut him no slack, even if due to guilt by association. Not that he's a nice guy. Just not the tool the rest of these guys are.

Walker is just a bought and paid for prostituted puppet, sans any real self-held ideals, IMO.

They are all horrible--just picking straws to say which is worst on any given day.

I am going to have to wait and see who takes in the most money and actually gets their name on a ballot. A Koch brothers endorsement is a good measure right now it seems to be Scott Walker. Rand Paul is a good choice. If I had his face looking at me in the mirror while shaving (all men so far) I would want to punch it, same goes for the entire Republican field.

of anti federal government whackos, the anti-interventionist left, and the African American justice system reform groups could work if these groups had even a modicum of respect for each other. But since that's not the case, I think he'll go down in flames rather quickly.

Tue Apr 21, 2015, 05:04 PM
Apr 2015

The man reminds me of Dan Quayle in that he is clueless as to what is going on in the world. Rand Paul has no chance of being the GOP nominee and the RNC and the GOP donor class would not support Rand if he was the nominee. Rand comes off as an ass but part of that is his inherent cluelessness and lack of understanding of how the world works

In order to hate someone, I have to take them seriously and I can not force myself to take Rand Paul seriously

...my pick is Rick Santorum. I think it's great that he has faith and family - but he honestly wants His choices to be mandatory for everyone. He would do away with The Bill of Rights and go directly to WAR. I don't think he panders - he honestly would use the US Presidency to bring about Armageddon, and go home to Jesus.
