Based on ability to run and win campaigns, raise money and create effective policy while in office.

Conservatives, tea partiers and republicans convince me to vote for Republican candidates on Tuesday.

I'm looking for some policy reasons. More than 'The Democrats have you in their pockets and take advantage of you.' I know this is true but I want better reasons.

The theme would be term limits.

Anyone care to organize this?

A) The lower class?

B) The middle class?

C) The upper class?

Everyone is losing jobs, wealth or income.

Just curious.

Powell said, "In the next few years, we will discover that, between the ages of 15 and 64—the working ages of our people—most of those are going to be kept in that age group because of immigration and the children of immigrants. Whereas, in other parts of the world, the age of the population’s getting older and fewer people are working. So I’m telling you and I’m telling all of my citizens around the country that immigration is what’s keeping this country’s lifeblood moving forward. They enrich our culture with every generation."

Are he and Olympia Snowe the only moderates left in the Republican party?

I'm also curious to know what political party you support and if you consider yourself conservative, liberal or middle of the road.

"If Republicans are the least bit serious about reducing the deficit, they have to acknowledge that doing so requires additional revenues, $700 billion of which would be lost to the top 2 percent of earners in the next decade if their taxes do not rise. Handing out those revenues to the rich would have little stimulative effect on the economy because those taxpayers tend to save rather than spend their marginal income.

Mr. Cantor and other hard-line tax-cutters like to claim that the high-end cuts would go to small businesses and other “job creators.”

But they should listen carefully to another of Mr. Boehner’s surprising acknowledgments on Sunday. Under sharp questioning from Bob Schieffer on CBS News’s “Face the Nation,” Mr. Boehner admitted that only 3 percent of small businesses would pay higher taxes under Mr. Obama’s proposal. As the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation recently reported, 97 percent of the taxpayers with business income would get a cut under Mr. Obama’s plan."

Conservatives continue to promote the notion that a lower tax base results in greater revenues. I am not schooled in economics enough to argue for or against this line of reasoning. I can see how it MIGHT work but I want to see evidence of lower taxes actuallty contributing to greater revenue.

Nevertheless, the American middle class worker is hurting today because American companies, run by rich corporate executives, are taking jobs OUT of America. Are these the people that deserve an extention of tax cuts? These unpatriotic greedy selfish men?

Are you for rich corporations or are you for America?

17 percent of the 805 Alaska Republicans surveyed by Public Policy Polling said they would back Palin in a 2012 GOP primary, the same percentage who voiced support for former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.

Romney led the field, garnering 20 percent.

“Fortunately for Sarah Palin, Alaska decides few convention delegates, and coming more than a month after Super Tuesday, she may not survive the race to be embarrassed on her home turf,” said Dean Debnam, president of Public Policy Polling.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has the support of 16 percent of Alaska Republicans, placing him in fourth.

Ten percent of those surveyed said they would support Texas Rep. Ron Paul, and 20 percent were either undecided or would back another candidate not listed in the poll.

The survey was conducted Aug. 27-28 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
