| The republicans can win if they can find a socially liberal and (actual) fiscally conservative candidate. None of Palin, Huckabee, and Romney fit that build completely.
A toned down version of Ron Paul would be perfect. |

| He does pretty darn well in most informal straw polls, even winning a lot of them, but I guess the mainstream voters think he's a little out there.
But yea, a toned down Ron Paul would be perfect for the GOP. | |

| Yeah, most of the "average" voters I talked to this past election would usually tell me that Ron Paul was "too out there" and almost always in those exact words.

| Ron Paul isn't out there. The mainstream is out there.

A toned down version of Ron Paul would be perfect. | You mean a libertarian?

Obama is plenty smart, but he has the same weakness as Bush, he is a pawn of his political advisers. David Axlerod is the one calling the shots.

Posted via VolNation Mobile | Here is what I said to my liberal friend today: "Maybe she's as dumb as you said she was, after all."

With that said, she annoys me so much...I could hardly stand to listen to it. I try to be fair - but she presses so many buttons that it is extremely difficult. I find her annoying, condescending (in that she talks to me like I'm 6 so that apparently I'll believe everything she says, usually coupled with a wink), and not very thoughtful.
I used to think that she was just dumb...but I don't think that's it anymore...she just doesn't appear to like to be very contemplative or mull over things. It's not that she doesn't come up with good ideas sometimes - but I think that she hates thinking and loves doing. She doesn't even appear to be willing to take time behind the scenes to learn the things that she doesn't know well (such as during the campaign). It's like she's not willing to slow down long enough to learn very much.
It's just very contrary to my personality, and a trait that I respect in some people and am turned off by in others. It's more often than not a trait that I am turned off by, but some people do it so well and it is so contrary to my way of doing things that I tend to respect it a lot. However, I am very turned off by it with her, and I haven't been able to develop any respect for her.
The converse is those who are so paralyzed by analysis/thought that they can't act....another frustrating personality.
