 The good ole days of waiting in line for gas, almost 20% interest rates, Iran hostages. etc etc.I'm proud to say the first Presidential ballot I ever cast was voting this clown out of office. Looking back he played a large part in my choice of party affiliation.

i'd have to say that we've had some damn bad 'leaders' lately. obama has continued many of bush's policies, and bush was pretty bad. then there's carter...ford...
i'd have to think that winning ww 2 is the high point of our recent history, just about everything since has been pretty bad, other than winning the cold war. but at what cost did we win that? we never kept a huge military til after ww2, and look at our deficit and debt since that time. vietnam; a disgrace and huge mistake. invading iraq. ignoring afganistans history and invading there...now it's dragged on longer than nam.

it'll take years to fix what has been done. just too big a mess to fix everything at once... foreign policy failures, domestic issues being ignored or kicked down the road. too much emphasis on defense, which sucks up so much of our hard-earned money. pols feathering their own nests at the expense of ours. look how many folks lost their retirement while so many sens and reps made money on the same issues that cost soon to be retirees. social security figures to become a bigger drain, so our most recent president and our current one both advocate lower ss withholdings. awesome. the number one issue should be what to do to fix jobs, to encourage creation. that will generate more income to state and federal. than work on the budget, what to attack first. they also need to work on afganistan-it'll never get better, we need to take what we've gotten and haul ass. karzai wants to talk to the taliban, let him. but we need out first.

and yeah, he hasn't started a war-but we're still in afganistan. it's his now. i am also bothered by the govt always being in election mode-from the top down. and when i say govt, i don't mean just the president. i don't mean just the house, or the senate. it's all of them, in permanent election mode. they don't want decisions made, votes taken, news let out, until after the election...or pass something tough that will run just past the next vote...no one wants to take a stand because the two parties don't want to lose seats. we need people with some spine to say to hell with the democratic party, or the republican party, and take a stand and do the dirty work that needs to be done. else the dirty work will never get fixed, and the problems will just snowball. obama said he was for change-i scoffed then, and for good reason. he can't change it-they even have him toeing the line. he said even if it costs me re-election, i'll do the tough stuff. or not. that's on him-but all the issues are on all of them.

i don't think newt's capable. he's just the latest non-romney to get attention. i guess the right wingers are going to get all the non-mormons up in the polls and then watch each of them crash and burn in turn.
it'll end up romney vs huntsman for the nominee. lol oh boy. what a joke this campaign was/is/will be.

I remember those gas lines earlier than 77...Long lines at my local gas station and only 2 bucks of gas per person...but my pump operator always gave me 5 gal since i was a regular customer...always wondered what people thought we should do about the hostages...Invade Iran?...bomb them?...was one failed rescue attempt...400 plus days, none of the hostages was killed or died while in captivity...Never thought much of the peanut farmer from Ga but only Bush gets my vote for the worst....on many levels but primary was Iraq...

Newt was either too stupid to see the mortgage industry collapse in front of him and was speaking with ignorance when defending Fannie Mae as late as mid 2007 or he lied and kept it to himself. Either he's a buffoon or a lying thief. I'm leaning strongly towards the latter. Still he's marginally better than who he’d be matched against.
Having the lowest U.S. Presidential approval rating in modern history, lower than even Jimmy Carter isn’t like a Nobel Peace Prize, it’s earned. Riot’s right the GOP is going to take this election cycle off or at least that’s what the post card they sent me said.
