Tim Pawlenty has the best chance at becoming the Republican Party's presidential nominee in 2012. He's the only serious, normal person who has appeal beyond a GOP sub-group. The rest are all serious jokes or weirdos.

Infidelity should be grounds for a politician's removal from office. Straight people are a really messed up batch of people. I guess marriage isn't so sacred anymore. It's OK to betray to the person with whom you swore fidelity. What the F is wrong with you people!?

Mark Sanford should resign as governor of South Carolina. yeah, he's the public face of South Carolina and he tarnished the office. Perception of figure heads like governors matters greatly to the success of the position. It's so ova.

Protests over the Iranian election will lead to a revolution. Were I the Supreme Leader (and in certain circles I am) I'm thinking NOW might be the time to start using a more modest name.

The Obama Administration should not issue a statement of support to the Iranian election uprising. What's he going to say? Iran is one hot mess at the moment with everything all over the place. The dust needs to settle before he opens his poetic pie hole.

Puerto Rico should become a U.S. state. Yes and NYC should also be a city-state, too. Kind of related, but why are both Massachusetts and Puerto Rico Commonwealths but Massachusetts is also a state? Can anyone clarify?

North Korea should be on the U.S. government's "State Sponsors of Terrorism" list. North Korea = Nuclear Swap Meet. Their intent is to sell technology and commodities to whoever has $$$. This is not rocket science.

The U.S. should not use military force to disarm North Korea. Not at this moment, but it appears to be inevitable; it's "when?" that is the Billion Dollar question. I estimate 6 months before the 2012 presidental election, if I know how Obama operates.

The Obama Administration will have no impact on the Middle East peace process. At best he will play referee between Israel and the rest of the Middle East. Things cannot improve until both Netanyahu and Hamas and their respective hard line ideologies are gone.

The government should always permit late term abortions. This should be a decision the woman makes with her doctor.

Bill O'Reilly should bear responsibility for the murder of Dr. Tiller. Absolutely; there was an implicit message attached to the tirades and character assaults that ignited the psychopaths to action.

I support President Obama's message to the Muslim world. Obama is great at communicating a message, where he lacks is in making his promises count. Time will tell.

Sonia Sotomayor is a good choice to replace Justice Souter. I just adore this woman: she's brilliant, humble and her work and reputation are beyond reproach. It would be unwise for the GOP to obstruct her nomination, they do so at great peril.

President Obama should release new photos depicting U.S. detainee abuse. We paid for those photos, we need to see them and deal with the implications of our actions as a united nation, but Obama hedges and is playing games again, big surprise.

President Obama's first 100 days were satisfactory. It's only OK. He's classic Ivy League: don't rock the boat, figure out what the prof wants to hear. say it, get the A and move on. An innovative visionary and bold leader he is proving not to be.

Kathleen Sebelius is not a good choice for Secretary of Health and Human Services. This a job nobody with any talent wants to touch. I have more faith in Toto and Glenda the Good Witch to solve our current healthcare problems than this one!

The Republican Party should try to rebrand itself. Absolutely, evolve or die. They need to abandon being the "troll on the bridge" w/social policies and focus on the real stuff. I think Meagan McCain is actually very smart in what she's trying to do...

Arlen Specter's switch to the Democratic Party will have a negative effect on the GOP. Frankly, the man reminds me of Grover from Sesame Street. His departure reinforces all the problems plaguing the GOP, but long-term, Specter is a dead man walking until the next election cycle. Grover has a better chance of being re-elected.

Private sellers at gun shows should be required to do background checks. Why not? Afterall, it's not bubble gum and comics being sold, why not take that extra step to rule out the ex-military psychos and general nut jobs? Bear arms, but be smart about it.

Denying or trivializing the Holocaust should not be criminalized. but, hopefully we can can upon all of us to denounce anyone who trifles with something as disgusting as genocide.

The U.S. should negotiate with Hamas. Someone needs to drop them a hint that violent retribution and reprisals is not a good strategy and help them develop growth strategies that offer some self-respect and dignity--AND peace.

The use of torture as an interrogation technique cannot be justified. I'm not comfortable, as an American, being paired with company like the Nazis. No thank you. Let's not torture people and say it's 'justified'. Let's instead, find our humanity.

The U.S. should have diplomatic relations with Venezuela. We need their oil and we bring them ample value in return. Let's bury the egos and get to work.

Memos about CIA torture techniques should have been released by the Obama Administration. The Intel was out: nothing new--Hayden et al are crying foul to cover their own asses/careers-they've just been tarred as terrorists by EVIDENCE and that's a dirty that don't get clean.

Eliot Spitzer should run for public office again. Why not? ALL rich white men cheat with skanks. Just how it is. Please. Hookers & whores aside, he's good at policy. He's already been publicly humiliated--that's priceless enough. I'd vote for him.

The Department of Justice should prosecute CIA officials who carried out Bush Administration interrogation methods. YES!!! OF COURSE, these methods were straight out of Operation Condor Part 2. Hang these fuckers by their toes! They are as ANTI-American as you get. Forget law and order with these thugs.

Congress should investigate the Bush Administration's interrogation policies. [Para mi familia] When the Bush Administration adopted Operation Condor's intel policies, it's time to investigate! (Viva Uruguay!)

The Tea Party protests are not a grassroots movement. yeah, and my litter box is an artistic statement. Bitch, please, spare me the whine of a ninny.

The U.S. should not hire private contractors to combat piracy. Bitches, please. This is a band-aid. We need the African Union and UN to fix Somalia, STAT and neuter these rogue elements before they create greater havoc. Today its booty, tomorrow...

Fox News' coverage of the Tea Party protests is not appropriate. Where were all these a-holes when Bush doubled our debt??? I love when conservatives talk about 'protesting', these guys have no balls. Sorry, but this was nothing like Seattle 1999.

Paying taxes is patriotic. I pay a federal, state and city income tax and property tax. I'd rather pay it and get to live in NYC than pay little or no state income tax and live in some hell-hole like Texas. No thank you.

Pirates should be officially labeled as terrorists. OMG. Ok people, these scallywags are not cute like J Depp. They're smart, brutal and resourceful and will have no objections to trafficking nuclear trade, sex slaves and God knows what else. Do you think they'll actually stop and take up some life of leisure playing cricket in lawless Somalia? Bitch, please: Wake Up.

President Obama's budget is satisfactory. I give him a gold star.

President Obama should have authorized the use of force against the Somali pirates. arghhh, matey, shiva me timbers! What else was he gonna do, invite them to the WH for some tea and urge them to reconsider? Give me a break.

The U.S. should have diplomatic relations with Cuba. Cuba is at the precipice of a new and amazing chapter, just like Spain when Franco died. We should encourage and support the new Cuba that is about to emerge. !Viva Nueva, Nueva Cuba!

Israel will take military action against Iran. With Israel being the newest psycho kid on the block, who knows what the nutcase will do. Attack Iran, kill thousands of innocents, bomb UN and NGO bldgs, don't count that out.

President Obama's first overseas trip was a success. He was the anti-Bush and the world LOVED it! He was forceful with out being immature and unilateral like Bush. He was diplomatic without being arrogant like Bush. This is a new world order!

Israel should withdraw all Jewish settlers from the West Bank. They must leave; for starters, they had no legal permission to enter. It's upsetting.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have a negative effect on the Middle East peace process. When Kim Jong Il and Robert Mugabe seem like better contenders in getting international respect and consideration than you: you're in trouble. Good luck Israel, you'll need it!

People did not overreact to Obama's joke about the Special Olympics. Having a special needs person in your life makes you incredibly protective of them, especially when you witness the levels of cruelty they are made to bear. It was something I think Obama regrets saying.
