The Republican candidates are unbelievable! Couldn't the Republicans do any better that these ridiculous choices? Is anyone running for President going to address the OCCUPY movement...it IS still growing. Who's gonna fix this mess our counrty is in...nobody running for President...that's for sure!

I would have agreed with you until you mentioned the Occupy movement. They only time that a President should mention them is when he is directing his arrotney general to go after those freeloaders for the numerous crimes they are committing.

Im glad its still groweing keep up the good work!

Growing? It fissled out

wb gary johnson or jon huntsman? theyre not crazy ******** and johnson left his governership with a surplus. they also sound much better than obama

Huntsman is great! The problem is his poll numbers.

The only thing ridiculous and unbelievable is the brainwashed idiots who think Romney, Gingrich, Perry, Bachman or any of the big business as usual candidates are really going to make a difference.

you love Big Spender then?

Hope you all cut up his Public-Credit Card next November!

both the GOP and the Dems have let this country down thats one big thing they have in common

No one in the Presidency has been worthy of the title for the last couple decades at least!!

When the "occupy movement" goes after the real 1%ers (congress) then maybe I'll give them some thought. But they won't protest the BIGEST CORPORATION IN THE US our own government.

As for GOP candidates the only one I would like to see is Santorum.

Contrary to the propaganda being put out by the money-junkies and their pet presstitutes, the Occupy movement are not "commies."
They are not Marxists.
They are not "Drugged out Hippies."
They are not lazy.
They do not "hate the rich."

The Occupy movement are men.
They are women.
They are gays.
They are straights.
They are Black.
They are White.
They are Red.
They are Yellow.
They are Brown.
They are young.
They are old.

They are you.
And they are me.

The Occupy movement is not trying to take over the country.

The Occupy movement is the country, taking itself back.

The George W Bush administration

No Child Left behind created more testing, so that, teacher teach for testing only now. Children at certain stages must pass these test despite their grades in order to pass to the next level. Our children aren't learning what everyone used to, making their school learning limited in comparison.

The Patriot Act

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Child_Left_Behind_Act and backed by the Obama administration leading to the Amendment of indefinite detention in the Nation Defense Act of 2011 a complete violation of United States Habeas corpus in the United States.




"Regarding U.S. Citizens accused of supporting terrorism, senator Lindsey Graham has stated before the senate, "When they say, ‘I want my lawyer,’ you tell them: ‘Shut up. You don’t get a lawyer. You are an enemy combatant, and we are going to talk to you about why you joined Al Qaeda.’"

– U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, 2011[4]

In the United States, indefinite detention has been used to hold terror suspects. This process, which has been highly controversial, is currently under review.[5] According to the American Civil Liberties Union, section 412 of the USA PATRIOT act permits indefinite detention;[6] one of the most highly publicized cases has been that of Jose Padilla,[7] whose ultimate prosecution and conviction in the United States have also been highly controversial.[8] The International Red Cross has criticized the indefinite detention of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.[9]

On December 5, 2008, the United States Supreme Court announced that it will rule on indefinite detention.[10] On November 29, 2011, the United States Senate rejected a proposed amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 that would have banned indefinite detention by the United States government of its own citizens,[11] leading to criticism that Habeas corpus in the United States has been undermined.[12][13] Congress and Senate have approved the National Defense Authorization Act and President Barak Obama is expected to sign today, 16 December, 2011." (quoted from Wikipedia indefinte dention United States 1.5)

Many Presidential Programs contributed to the National Debt increases and debt crisis starting with but not limited to Lyndon B Johnson

Social Security
Medicare
Medicaid
Farm Programs
Food Benefits
Child Care
Education
Welfare etc. etc. etc.

None of which should be federal program but should be left to the soveriegnty of the states implementing and supporting them.

Patriot act was implemented under bush sorta misleading to say it was supported by Obama, granted it is still in place and wil be from now untill eternity.

I like Huntsman.
He was Governor when I was in Utah....
seemed a popular choice.

I think his integrity keeps him from being a typical candidate.
The slamming of the others to benefit, he has more class than that.

This is a general warning to all
whose posts I have had to delete.

Not misleading at all since he signed the extention into law.

The history of the USA PATRIOT Act involved many parties who opposed and supported the legislation, which was proposed, enacted and signed into law a month and a half after the September 11 terrorist attacks of New York City in 2001. The USA PATRIOT Act, though approved by large majorities in the U.S. Senate and House of Representative, was controversial, and parts of the law were invalidated or modified by successful legal challenges over constitutional infringements to civil liberties. The Act had several sunset provisions, most reauthorized by the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005 and the USA PATRIOT Act Additional Reauthorizing Amendments Act. Both reauthorizations incorporated amendments to the original USA PATRIOT Act, and other federal laws.
