Hey Flaja, in all honesty----you have less than 70 post/opinions at the time I'm responding to your comments and no one here is holding your low post rate against you. However, understand that the members of AWE come from different walks of life, education levels, and political experiences and views.

As a result, this forum maynot be for you nor what you are looking for, however, should you decide to stay (which I doubt you will) pleases refrain from using your so called "Stellar Intellilect" to try and nullify the opinions of the posters here at AWE.

HAVE A NICE DAY "BRAINIAC"

Well I read an interview of Mitt this afternoon and I liked what he had to say. I am going to be watching him very closely. I have always liked Rudy but I really don't see the far right supporting him, unless it is Clinton on the other side.

Where did you read the interview? I think I'd like to take a peek. I am having great difficulty narrowing down who I like, but I do have some time yet. I do feel however, the Obama is out. I go to his sight every once in awhile to look around, but he is still standing too far left.

All I did was a google, Mitt Romney for President. You will find the article, the interview was done by Goerge Stepenolphous (sp).

Rasta and Rob-I thank both of you. I just do this for shits and giggles in my spare time, though I do think the things on here are very important. I really enjoy the different views and find them a learning experience. And I enjoy the passion that everyone throws out there. It's nice to see that so many love their country. I must admit that I really pay little attention to my spelling and grammar when I post. If people find that inconvient, they are free to not read my posts.

Rudy AND Mitt will probably not happen. If Mitt wins, I doubt Rudy's ego would allow him to accept second banana. And if Rudy wins, his Veep's main job will be to shore up the base, elements of which are going to be nervous about having nominated a RINO. He'll need someone like, say, Huckabee or maybe Gingrich. That is, a Southern Conservative. Or maybe even Condi if the world situation isn't too bad (if it's bad, she'll be toxic; and if it's really good, she might even be a draft choice for the top spot).

You may be right about that, I guess we will have to see.

When I read a post I am looking for well thought out posts not to determine the intellect of the poster.

If someone cannot write clearly, with proper grammar and spelling, how can they possibly think clearly?

And like I said, it is an easy matter to put what you write through a grammar/spell checker.

If you have good writing and grammar skills, it can be physically taxing to try to read something that has poorly constructed sentences or mistakes in grammar/spelling.

Remember than when you speak you can convey your meaning by changing the tone of your voice or using facial or hand gestures. But, in print you have only grammar, punctuation and spelling.
