The thought occured to me today that all of the polls we have done don't give us a full picture. atleast of what i want to know. I am curious what candidates most of the GOP could vote for and which ones would cause major problems.
So vote for multiple people if you could vote for them without needing to hold your nose and pulling the lever. For example, if I was forced to I could vote for McCain although I would never want to. So I wouldn't include him on my list of people.

I picked my faves, but really, I could vote for any of them before I would vote for any of the running Socialists, uh, I mean Dems.

I wouldn't go that far, Hucklebee and Paul are worse then most Democrats and Romney is a close third. Thompson I would possibly vote for but it would be tough. Also Giuliani would be a possibility but if it were McCain or Duncan Hunter it would be a hell yes. I think Duncan Hunter is the most Conservative, has the same values as Ronald Reagan and doesn't flip flop on issues. I just don't think he would get the nomination or be able to beat the Democrats which is unfortunate as he is the man we need in office. :salute:

I could vote for Paul, Thompson, and Hunter.
Guiliani, no, he's a gun grabber.
McCain, no, he's against free speech.
Huckabee and Romeny I disagree with generally, and I suppose I could vote for them, but both come with major downsides: Huckabee's soft on immigration and free trade, and Romney's health plan is hard to swallow.

We're running a real close parallel Jeff. I could vote for Romney as well if he was the man on the ticket. But my preferences before him are Hunter, Paul, Thompson, in that order.
McCain, Giuliani, Huckabee, absolute no go's.

I think I would go Paul, Thompson, Hunter, but yeah, you and I seem to have pretty similar preferences. :beer:

NV has every right to give his money to the candidate of his choice. I feel it is a waste of his money and McDone is STILL opposed to the tax cuts
So Sen McDone wants to take MORE on NV's money

I didn't add Paul to my vote, but he is my second choice. If one of the moderators could add that to the tally it would be appreciated. While I don't necessarily agree with his view on international politics, I do agree with his Constitutional philosophy and feel he is a much better choice for this country than anything the dems put up.

Hillary is, I believe, the only major candiate who supports the right to partial birth abortion. That alone should be reason for any self-proclaimed conservative to shun her.

Partial birth abortion is an abomination. While I agree Roe v Wade should be repealed, it is not because I'm Pro-Life. It is because I feel it is an issue that should be decided by the individual states and not the federal government.

abortion is not a presidential issue.....if it does not have to do with:
1. national security
2. national economic issues
3. national infrastructure issues
the president and federal govt should mind their own business.....

It is very much a Presidential issue when judicial appointments and nominations are being made.

Yes the President appoints Federal Judges but the Federal Judges should have nothing to say about it either so it is technically a non issue for the President since anyone he appoints should have NO SAY in the matter. It is solely a stae issue not a Federal isuue....

If the USSC strikes down Roe VS Wade - it would go back to the states
Correct?

I think the supreme court should strike it down, because it should be up to each individual state, if they want abortion or not

Not only that, but abortion is murder
Libs might be nervious since they are worried a huge number of states would vote to make it illegal

No, I am not confused. This is the current state of affairs in our courts. They have usurped legislative powers. What should be and what currently is, are two different things.
And I would also add that since the President has potential veto power of whatever abortion laws Congress passes, it is doubly a Presidential issue.

Hell I think Hilary will win but I would never cast a vote for her.
I called NM as a liberal months ago on the board, looks like I was right.

I set up the poll so we could vote for all the candidates we could support in a general election when we initially made a vote. If there are other candidates you could support, I am not sure how you could change it once you've already made the initial vote.
