Quit sending money  for Foreign Aid to countries that do not like us.  We do not have to pay foreight aide that is a kinkness on our part.  Cut Congress and the Senates salaries.</description>

		<description>More than 77,000 people turned out to cast a vote in Bill O&#039;Reilly&#039;s poll and as expected, the results were close.  Governor Romney came in third place with 26%.  The &quot;Huckster&quot; came in second with 28%; and the good-looking former VP candidate (and quitter) came in first with 30%.  Newt Gingrich had a pretty low showing (16%), which probably indicates that people are beginning to become disappointed in his reluctance to stand against the GOP establishment.  The mere fact that he would NOT stand against the GOP nominee in the NY-23 House of Representatives special election (even when it was clear that she was a demoncrat through all of her actions, but still had an &quot;R&quot; next to her name) was a really bad move on Newt&#039;s part.  I&#039;m saddened by his actions of late.

Like I said at the end of my original posting, this non-scientific poll conducted by Bill O&#039;Reilly will not make or break any of the people listed on it.  I would have enjoyed a much better showing for Mitt Romney, sure.  I would have enjoyed it much, much more if the Huckster and Palin wouldn&#039;t have had an equal showing.  There&#039;s a definite void in the minds of people across the country who consider themselves conservatives.

I understand the appeal that Sarah Palin has for a conservative-minded individual because she SAYS all the right things and is easy on the eyes.  THAT&#039;S NOT ENOUGH to become Commander in Chief!!!  She is the most polarizing figure in American politics today (aside from B. Hussein Obama, of course), which pretty much makes it nearly impossible for her to win a national election.  In a time where fixing what is so shamefully broken is vitally important, the disturbing fact that so many people still have a crush on Sarah Palin is disheartening.  I like Palin and used to respect her, but if she really does want to put &quot;America first&quot; then I&#039;m hoping (praying) that she&#039;ll run for Senate instead of President.  She desperately needs some leadership experience!  Gathering some legislative (or possibly even some foriegn policy) experience through the Senate wouldn&#039;t be a bad idea for her, either.  

The Huckster is just a disturbing individual.  I feel dirty whenever I see him on television.  For any Huckster supporters out there, allow me ask you a simple question: why do you think the DNC hasn&#039;t spent a penny (in the past or the present) fighting against him?  The Huckster is a sheep in wolve&#039;s clothing as he would like you to believe.  He&#039;s a wolf in sheep&#039;s clothing who is willing to do or say whatever it takes (even if it&#039;s a downright LIE) to become more likeable.  I firmly believe in one simple political truth, which is: BEWARE OF ANY POLITICIAN WHO WEARS HIS BRAND OF CHRISTIANITY ON HIS SLEEVE.  I think the reasons for this simple political truth are self-evident.

In a post-apocolyptic, post-Obama nation, is there anyone really more prepared and equipped to do what needs to be done than Mitt Romney?  IF THERE IS then will someone please tell me so I can support that person, too?  I&#039;m not blindly supporting Romney; I&#039;m boldly supporting Romney because I love my country.

I used to day dream about a Romney/Gingrich ticket in 2012, but now I&#039;m beginning to really like the sound of a Romney/Pence ticket.  Mike Pence is an outstanding conservative who is trying to develop a name for himself.  Look into him if you don&#039;t know who he is because I&#039;m pretty sure you&#039;ll be impressed.

PS...as much as &quot;we&quot; tried to get O&#039;Reilly&#039;s poll out there for Romney supporters to partake in, there was an equal attempt by Huckster and Palin supporters.  This was a non-scientific popularity poll that really doesn&#039;t say much at all.  All of the recent scientific polls (Rassumussen, Zogby, USA Today, Gallup, etc...) are showing Romney in first place as the person who should take over in 2012.  This was just a great opportunity to get Romney&#039;s name out there even more than it already is.

Thanks for reading and participating!</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve seen this poll. It was a horse race when I saw it. I believe Mitt Romney is the only Republican that can beat Obama right now, but I also believe that Obama will make any Republican he runs against look good. Romney has the knowledge and know how to save our economy (if that can even be done at this point). He also has an answer to the health care crisis. He solved it in Massachusetts. Mitt Romney is the answer the Republican Party needs right now. He is a true conservative with good morals and values. We need another Ronald Reagan and I believe that could be Mitt Romney if America gives him a chance. I supported Fred Thompson in the 2008 primaries, but next time around I will definitely be supporting Mitt. I would love to see a Romney/Pence ticket for 2012.</description>

		<description>You&#039;re right, Fred.  Palin does TALK conservatively...but SO DO I!!!  And let&#039;s face it...the experience level between someone like me and Sarah Palin really isn&#039;t that far apart.  I like Sarah Palin and have some respect for her, but she is a junior varsity player competing against professional athletes!  She, like Obama, is in way over her head.  Had she NOT quit as governor and served a complete second term then I would be right there with you in supporting her as a viable canidate in 2016 (or, even better, in 2020).  But...she DID quit...she has no experience...she has a terrible reputation among people who don&#039;t know any better...and she&#039;s the most polarizing political figure in America today!  There&#039;s no way she wins the general election!  NO WAY!!!  We absolutely need someone who is built with the necessities of &quot;fixing things that are broken&quot;.  There is no one more better suited for this than Mitt Romney.  Everything this man has touched has turned to gold and his past is not mired in scandal like everyone else&#039;s!  He also has enough personal wealth (earned, not given) to not care about doing special favors for special interest!  He has absolutely no problems upsetting the establishment if it means doing what&#039;s right!  How nice would that be to have a president who doesn&#039;t owe anyone or anything any special favors???  How nice would it be to have a president who is honest and truthful and full of integrity???

Palin would have been a GOP super star had she declined McCain&#039;s offer to be his running mate.  Sadly, her ego would not allow her to do such a thing and the results were disasterous to say the least!  I blame McCain for playing the liberal game of identity politics, but I also blame Palin for not recognizing the simple fact that she was barely more qualified than Joe the Plummer!!!

C&#039;mon...get real, Fred!</description>

		<description>Fred,  has it not crossed your mind that it may be foolish to alienate all other aspects of the Republican party by assuming that the party can win if it is only the conservatives who show up to vote?  No!  We can stick to our conservative message while not alienating the rest of our party.  We absolutely need their votes if we are to dig Obama out of the White House.

If Liberals want to vote for our conservative candidate, them let them!  It doesn&#039;t mean to need to change our message to fit theirs.  We simply need voters and can still win them on the conservative message.  What is so difficult to understand about this?  The bigger the tent, the bigger the voter turnout.</description>
