Romney is the consumate politician. He's the safe choice, he's a businessman which is about where I end my "liking of him"

Newt is clearly the smartest, but can't control his message and ideas, he goes off the reservation to much.

Ron Paul, IMO, his ideals have no specifics. He offers great talking points, but offers no real solutions, and his voting record proves he can get LITTLE done (1 bill out of 600+ he's passed)

Ron Paul talks about cutting 5 agencies, I agree with it in principle, but reality is you can't walk in day one and wipe out depth of energy, agriculture, EPA, interior, and FDA.

Lets keep it simple, lets take EPA. I'm not for environmental nazisism that says we shouldn't EVER drill for oil, or tries to push technology that doesn't work like solar. However, I also don't want companies dumping pollution in my drinking water or backyard.

So why eliminating the EPA sounds great, once you think it through, there are graves consequences to keeping them the way they are now, and outright eliminating them.

His foreign policy, while I agree we should pull out of the wars, and be more selective in rattling our sabre, the notion that if we ignore our enemies they'll ignore us is frightening.

We should reform them to be more balanced.

If he eliminates 5 agencies, think how many jobs that will lose. Where do those people go? Who watches over the corporations with no standards?
