    I'm tired of the same five or six who've tried and failed. We need NEW candidates, not second and third timers.
    I don't disagree with your first sentence, but I voted for Romney and still think he would have been a much better president that our current.

    As to your second sentence, please name some NEW candidates that actual stand a chance of winning a national election at that level.

    I like Huckabee. I heard him speak in person and was very impressed. But I agree with the following.

    I'm tired of the same five or six who've tried and failed. We need NEW candidates, not second and third timers.

    To me it seems we are really at the point where both parties are highly fractured and things are either ripe for a third party candidate or for the major parties to be taken over. Argument could be made that the D's have been taken over by socialists, but not to the extreme that real socialists would like. The R's could and should be overthrown by some Libertarian/Tea Party coalition if we could just get organized, financed and get some leadership with a clear and unified message that is communicated effectively in a modern way.

    Way better Huckabee is leading this poll than Romney, Ryan or Christie.

    Do we only vote for those candidates that we think will win? Or do we vote for the best candidate? If everyone voted for the one they think will win, he or she probably would win.
    Exactly! Better than Hillary. no? A protest vote again, or worse, not voting, will insure a Dem, most likely Hillary, will win.

    I happened to think Romney was our best candidate last time, but I know that not everyone did. Lets not in a debate about that because it doesn't matter now. But he was the candidate with the best chance to win. Wouldn't that have been better than 4 more years of BHO? Seriously!

    Who is your alternative that has a chance of winning? Otherwise, you are going to end up with Hillary, or even worse, Joe Biden.

    And they're really significantly different than the Huckster or Romney.... how?

    A RINO is just as much a statist POS as Hillary or Biden.

    Run Rand Paul and Ted Cruz. Oh, but they're unelectable because they're not progressives like the RINOs, so the media rakes them over the coals every chance they get.

    **** the US. It's past time for us to Secede.

    ETA: I was unclear in stating my point. Ignore the "presidential election" and focus on taking Texas back. Ignore the so-called Federal Government (which isn't legitimate since it ignores the laws that created it) and let's just be Texans. Nothing more and certainly nothing less.

    That is why Ted Cruz is rightly freaking out and telling anyone who will listen. We have a leader who is picking and choosing laws to enforce, ignore or create. That is the beginning of a dictatorship or at the very least is setting up the groundwork for someone to expand on these precedents even more. Im not sure at what point you have a dictator or not because lots of them still have parliments or assemblies or dumas or whatever, they just ignore them. Oh they also have courts...that rubber stamp what they want.

    At this point how are we much different than many of the countries we condemn?

    Well, we're different from those countries because we have a bigger per capita prison population.

    But according to my cop friends, we're not living in a police state...

    Ha. A lot of money in the prison game. Lots of local jobs for elected officials constituents. Union jobs too. Pretty gross.

    Lot of money in the enforcement side of it, too. Lots of gear to be sold... lots of classes, too. I mean, if a department can't drop a few million on shiny new Chargers that will fall apart at 60,000 miles, what good is having police departments?
