Newt Gingrich, Jeb Bush for obvious reasons, and Sarah Palin.  They didn't fulfill what they set out to do during their turn in office, but want to use the Presidency to fulfill that, and I don't think that is what the presidency is for.

Can you expound on that?  What did they "set out to do" in their last positions?

Gary Johnson is pro-drugs? First I've heard that, if I recall he neither smokes nor drinks. Perhaps you meant to say he is anti-police state?

Being "pro-drugs" is actually a conservative position.  The War on Drugs and other sorts of prohibition have a long track record of failure and wasted money.  Conservatism is supposed to be logical, anti-corruption and economically efficient.

Yes that is correct.  Even William F. Buckley spoke of this.  Buckley actually once surmised that we could legalize drugs, tax them heavily and create drug stores where if people left the stores on a high then they could be placed in prison.  I think that was him at least.

Paul could at least be relied upon to be an economic conservative and I'd really have to hold my nose to vote for Mittens. Otherwise it doesn't matter to me.

I have a question, How is it possible to get a +9.00 Fiscal score and maintain a social score over +5.00?

Just asking.

Beats me, that's how it came out on PM (which labeled me as a "reactionist" up in the top right hand corner of the matrix), I took a different survey that made my economics over 9 yet my social was 4.8 so that other survey would agree with you, PM seems to be in a different world from that survey however.

That doesn't make any sense. Whenever something is stupid, opposing it is conservative?

This poll doesn't really carry any significance because it's like asking Clinton voters if obama's the nominee will you vote for McCain.  A majority said they would either not vote or vote for McCain, and then they voted for Obama.  The truth, the majority of republicans probably won't vote for Obama no matter who the nominee is.  That may not be true for moderate republicans or independents, but for the majority of the party, it's a fact.

To suggest that a party is going extinct simply because of recent unpopularity is utterly ridiculous.

Whenever something is more idealistic than realistic, opposing it is conservative.

Clearly the solution is to privatize presidential elections.

So, in less than four years, get excited for the 2016 MetLife Financial U Pick The Prez Extravaganza. If you tweet a picture of your completed ballot with the hashtag #ivoted, you could win a trip for two to the inauguration or an iTunes gift card.
