So how do you rank the Republican Presidential field and why.
I will stick out my neck here and post how I rank the Republican candidates in order of my preference and why.
Santorum: Conservative, never weavers from his answers, understands how congress runs,
pro Bill of Rights and the US Constitution, truly wants to fix the economy by in part
reducing the size of government and the restrictions imposed on business
Bachmann: Conservative, never flip flops, passionate about America and fixing our economy,
wants smaller government, understands how congress works, pro Bill of Rights and
the US Constitution; I do get tired of hearing about the kids she has adopted though
Cain: Conservative, not an insider has run large businesses as CEO, former director of
the Fed, pro Bill of Rights and the US Constitution; often puts foot in mouth, does
not know how Congress works so there would be a start-up lag time
Paul: Conservative, the only true Libertarian running, understands how congress works,
pro Bill of Rights and the US Constitution, would like to limit or kill the Fed, I have
not heard him flip flop as yet; gives some out there answers to questions, does not
have the respect of members of the congress, foreign policy is weak
Johnson: I haven't had the opportunity to vet him as all of the media has put him in the
background. Seems conservative and libertarian but I don't know, from what I have
read he was an outstanding governor in NM- A Democratic state
Romney: Has ran large businesses as CEO, turned the Olympics around, I feel he would
work hard to turn around the US economy, strong foreign policy stand, speaks well;
is a flip flopper, probably a right leaning moderate who watches which way the
political wind blows
Gingrich: Smart, very good speaker, knows how congress works so he can get things done,
strong foreign policy stand; his mouth is his own worst enemy, smug, a progressive-
Believes larger government can fix anything, pro larger government, I can't stand his
wife
Huntsman: Nothing good to say other then he can speak mandarin. Left leaning moderate-
Heck he is left of McCain.
So there you go- Let the slings and arrows follow.
But more important then my list prioritized what is yours?
