Cross him off the list.

He was also the President of the St. Louis Federal Reserve in which Fox News tried to hide and Down play

the Globalists are neck deep in the G.O.P and Obama makes it a stacked deck against America

Well, crap. This is rather troubling as well.....not accomplishing much there is he???

and is a member of the National Commission on Economic Growth and Tax Reform.

Oh Well, Go Michele!!!

This must be brought up to Cain in the next debate. Let's see how he responds to it.

I am telling you people, Bachmann is our best bet. So she got Elvis' birthday confused with his death date. Who the hell cares. The Tea party is the only hope we have. The GOP is in on this globalisation BS. That is why they ignore Ron Paul and Bachmann, they scare the crap out of them. Both parties are trying to destroy us.

"Both parties are trying to destroy us."

You got that right, Cujo, they have been for a LONG time!

Bachman, though "decent", is still in the pockets of the special interests that will see endless wars prevail. She also supports the same economic policies that create the welfare state which lures illegals here.

Many of you just don't understand how it all factors in with the debate of a Sovereign america.....

Ron Paul is literally the only one who isn't beholden to the special interests.. unfortunetly, there are many very pro-war neo-cons on this board who will back a corpse if it could be rigged to say "kill kill kill, war... attack, and yeah - uhmm.. stop illegal immigration"...

I could support Ron Paul if he would get stronger on immigration. It is litterally destroying us in Texas.
