And if I'm an opponent I just run that tape of him with Alex Jones claiming flu vaccines kill more then the flu and ignore him.

He's like his dad, smart and good on many things and kookie on others.

Defeating Washington sounds good to me.

Maybe he can run on "Hope and Change", or "Outside the Washington Way". Those little catch phrases caused a lot of suckers to vote for this guy in 2008....

And again, I prefer that the GOP run as many wingnuts as possible. The more the merrier.

I don't think he's as far out there as his father, who I liked, don't get me wrong.

Different level of the same crazy. I like some of his ideas, and I think at heart he's a good guy just... not someone I can support.

I love these "anti establishment" slogans, "Help me defeat Washington by allowing me to become Washington!"

It worked for Obama.

His rather soft views on foreign policy are what keeps me from seriously considering him. It was also the same problem I had with his father. I knew we grew up listening to "I Want To Teach The World To Sing" but I don't buy that Iran or any number of countries like them watched those commercials and took them to heart.
