And this is supposed to be the man for 2016? Sure. I won't be voting for him. If it came down to him or Rubio, I would take Rubio. Even though I don't think either them would ever have a chance of being elected.

For what it's worth we are going to have to try and hold on to the house in 2014 and again in 2016, as far as the presidential election I get the feeling we will just be going through the motions again.
The government and both sides of the political spectrum seem to be out of control for the common man.

I wish they would just take Ron in the bathroom and give him a fatal swirly so I don't have him in the back of my mind every time Rand's name comes up.

True. But I think the Dems will keep the senate and regain the house in 2014. In 2016, either Crazy Joe, or Hillar will be elected.

Our military spending is at 711 Billion dollars, which is 5 times the amount spent by the next largest, China, which comes in at 143 billion.

Sequestering will reduce military spending by 10%. I don't see the problem.

I don't think he is turning into anything different than he has been, my problem is that I always saw him in a loose connection with his dad and I feel uncomfortable with any connection whatsoever.

We could win the house in 2014, the problem is at the fast rate the republican party is becoming subservient to the Democrat party it is questionable whether it will be an actual win.
