I agree with VK's opening...I will not define myself with one word terms because people and the issues that matter are too complex. I will read, listen and evaluate and when it is time to vote I will vote for the individual I believe best serves "we the people" The only certainty I have now is that Obama never was and never could be that person. In fact he diminshes America.

all these conservatives to speak here, yet never do we have the opportunity to hear a candidate from the other side. Even if you disagree with a candidate, it is nice to be able to listen to other viewpoints.

We need Alan West, Herman Cain, or Chris Christie. Straight-talking men with brains, guts and INTEGRITY.

It looks like weakness in local Democratic party leadership. They are the ones who should bring them to speak.

I'm guessing that you don't know that the Republican Leadership has little to NOTHING to do with all of the Conservative speakers. It's the developer with the deep pockets that bring them here. I heard Beck and O'Reily joking about it on O'Reily's show when he was trying to figure out what Beck was going to do after Fox fired him. Beck said he was aware of the woman to man ratio in The Villages.

I don't know ChaCha, I don't recall that he endorsed the planned construction of the mosque. I recall that he did endorse the laws and regulations of the State and City of New York. I recall him saying that he thought it wouldn't be wise for the developer to build a Muslim cultural center and mosque that close to the scene of 9-11. But he said that the laws and zoning would permit such a project and that he didn't think the property owner should be subjected to limitations not in the law just because of a religious affiliation.

Heck, Michael Bloomberg is a Jew...why would he defend Muslims other than being consistent with his role as the chief executive of NYC and one with primary responsibility for upholding its laws and regulations?

Holy cats! If we eliminated all those categories, would any of those who ran for President in the last half-dozen or so elections have run?

I'm trying to think but I think every single candidate--those that got the nomination as well as those who didn't--all fell into one of those categories or in several cases more than one. I don't think even one of the current group who have been mentioned as possible candidates for the GOP would pass your screen.

GERMANY!!!....Isn't that a hoooot!

Secondly, Newt has the experience to be in the oval office but his personal life is a train wreck. But hey, the conservatives will understand and forgive his flaws if they think he has a chance to win.

Thirdly, I may vote for Obama knowing that he is a valid certified American, thanks to Trumps investigation.
