Best Presidential Candidate, Republicans
A few days ago we posted a story for you to discuss the best presidential candidates for Super Tuesday, but I figured it would be an interesting idea to try that again, but split the discussion into 2 halves. This is the Republican half — please only discuss the Republican candidates in this story. Huckabee, McCain, and Romney only.
Yes, he's against torture. What a great guy. Too bad he's not above spending the next 100 years killing Iraqis.
He's not being excluded because he's not the best. He's being excluded because he's not a presidential candidate.
The opinions stated herein do not necessarily represent those of anybody at all. Deal with it.
There can be no de jure formal religious test, but what's wrong with not voting for someone who believes what his great-grandpappy said he read on a golden tablet over what he can see right in front of him?
I'm not opposed to him because of the particulars of his religious beliefs; I'm opposed to him because, by still holding those beliefs, he's demonstrated a lack of judgment and reason.
I agree. Golden plates aren't that bad. But Mormons ARE crazy. And if you want to call out Mormon craziness, you really have to look no further than their magic underpants.
Both John McCain and Mitt Romney are both anti-American-tech-worker. So I will never vote for either of them. I'm not sure about Mike Huckabee or Ron Paul, yet, but I am hopeful.
now we need to go OSS in diesel cars
It must be nice, not caring that he's Mormon. I, unfortunately HAVE to care, because he doesn't believe that my children and I are as HUMAN as him. They (Mormons, at least until sometime in the 70's) apparently don't like me, and I don't really care for them either:

"No person having the least particle of Negro blood can hold the Priesthood" (Brigham Young)
"The Lord segregated the people both as to blood and place of residence. At least in the cases of the Lamanites and the Negro we have the definite word of the Lord Himself that he placed a dark skin upon them as a curse -- as a punishment and as a sign to all others."
"In spite of all he did in the pre-existent life, the Lord is willing, if the Negro accepts the gospel with real, sincere faith, and is really converted, to give him the blessings of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost. If that Negro is faithful all his days, he can and will enter the celestial kingdom. He will go there as a servant, but he will get celestial glory."
I don't necessarily mean this directly towards you, but, as a black man, I say "Screw the Mormon Church." Screw Mitt Romney", and "Screw anybody else who would jeopardize our country's future any further by voting for a stooge like Romney."
Of course, I'm black, so I might be a little biased.
I'll bite... I have two Ron Paul topics... 1. Why is he running as a Republican? 2. Why is he STILL running? :)
As for your attack, WTF man, you need to get some grounding in reality. Lay off the expresso. ;)
He can't possibly win. We know this because the news networks tell us the other candidates are more popular. So those other candidates must have better ideas, technically. Anyone who supports Ron Paul is irrational, and he and they should just quit.
... Just pointing out some slashdot hipocrasy here.
Just like everyone knows that Microsoft Windows is the most popular OS out there, and everyone who uses OSX or especially Linux or BSD are anti-social nutjobs. Oh, and of course windows must be better because it is more popular and that's what I see running on the computers when I go to Best Buy. Anyone who looks beyond the pretty Best Buy screens sure ie weird. Linux, BSD, and MacOS should just go away already.
