These Republican candidates offer America nothing. These Religious Right people are an embarrasment to this country and themselves.
Time to vote for change in 2008!!!

Aren't the "value voters" the ones who ultimately placed the majority of the people without values that we've been hearing about for their deviant behavior in the Senate and House in the last several years? Um-hum. I thought so.

Romney had a ton of support "in the room" but, his campaign told them to vote online rather than in the booth. That is why you see the contrast. Romney helped himself out drasticallly by winning the value vote.

Romney is a slicked up corporate sleaze bag, Rudy is a criminal and should be investigated for his criminal negligence in the NYPD and NYFD radio scandal. Thompson? He flips like a fish on a hot dock and why wont he answer a question without rambling? Huckaby, nice guy, Tancredo too, but they kinda miss the importance of the constitution. I'm a registered democrat who is supporting Ron Paul for president. I want a president of honest and long term integrity. I want a president who wont be owned by corporate America. I want a president like Ron Paul.

There seems to be quite a disparity between the recent Zogby poll asking which candidates the surveyed would NEVER vote for versus what it appears straw poll participants say. The more informed the surveyed person is about the candidates' positions, the worse the current "top-tiered" candidates do and the better the up-and-comers like Paul and Huckabee do. Which begs the question, when the general election run is in full gear, and the general public is paying closer attention to what the candidates are saying, who would do better... the current "top-tier" or the ones who are addressing the issues seriously instead of engaging in strategic demagoguery?

David V, it's easy to call them all hypocrites when they actually have high standards to aspire to. No one is perfect, and just because you can't meet those standards, doesn't mean they aren't worth aspiring to. It's alot better thatn teh secualarists who, of course, can never really be hypocrites to the same extent becasue they are a law unto themselves and do as they wish. They are accountable to nothing but what they choose to feel good about..

Seems a lot of Ron Paul supporters will accept only Ron Paul. Paul will not get the Republican nomination. He will presumably then run as an independent which will pull votes away from whoever does get the Republican nomination. A vote for Ron Paul as an independent is by default a vote for Hillary. Push for Paul all you want, but don’t run Thompson and Huckabee down too far. They might be your only hope to keep Hillary or Obama out of the White House. ... Unless Giuliani gets the Republican nomination, then I’ll vote for an independent.

There was only one true winner in the assorted crop of never do wells and lack luster former Attorneys. That is the man of impeccable principal, who for 10 terms in the House of Representatives has walked like he talks.
That moral and prestigious man is Dr. Ron Paul. Who says what he means and means what he says, unlike the phony word of art players on stage that say one thing and then do another. CHEERS

No such thing as "conservative" and "principaled" in the same sentance. I can't stand people that try to push their values down other people's thoats.
