Same point I made with McFly: There's no credible political threat from the religious right, and a hell of a lot of credible political threat from the radical Left.

Then you'll have someone to vote for. Hell, I'll vote for you as long as you promise not to cut my social security or medicare. And fire the TSA. Run for President.

There are no Libertarians that will be running for President. THAT would make my decision a lot less complicated. For myself, I will be forced to pick someone who has our fiscal responsibilities as a top priority, with a conservative constraint mentality. This is what makes sense to me. Tom bottom lined it for me. I can't have everything... I feel I am caught between a rock and a hard place. There are no Libertarians that will be running for President.

There are creationists out there still pushing for our children to be taught only creationism, only their point of view. That kind of close-mindedness can damage things in unseen ways that will manifest itself in every part of society. It's a mindset that permeates the very fabric of their being and they teach that mindset to their children, teaching them to reject science, reject rationality and turn only to the spiritual. As much as I love the Spiritual, I believe that God created mysteries for us to unravel. He had to give his kids wonderful toys to play and we've got a whole universe. I can tell you that with creationists in charge, we'd have never gone to the moon and we'll never to to Mars or anywhere else. The ISS would die. And if you don't know that, you'd better. The closed mind has not limit to the amount of damage it can do. …but not well made.

Well...I guess that is a point well said! “A lot more damage has been done to this country by people who believe in the mythology of socialism than people who believe God created the Earth.” Well…I guess that is a point well said!

A lot more damage has been done to this country by people who believe in the mythology of socialism than people who believe God created the Earth. I haven't heard about the marriage amendment, but I would disagree with him on it. It's nothing the Constitution should be dealing with, and not a Federal issue.
