If Republicans want to nominate a strong candidate who is not corrupt, is consistent, and qualified to be president, they already have that person. Unfortunately, he gets zero press coverage and is not allowed into any of the GOP debates. His name is Buddy Roemer and he is a former governor of Louisiana and Congressman. He is similar to Ron Paul, but without crazy views that will scare voters away.

Buddy Roemer Could Win.. If Only Republicans Would Listen

Dear America: If you want a President untainted by scandal and uncorrupted by corporate cash, Republican Buddy Roemer is probably your candidate.

Roemer, who refuses to take corporate or special-interest money, is a long-time advocate for eliminating the role that money, particularly corporate money, plays in our political system. To that end, Roemer does not take donations from PACs or corporations.
Another difference is that Roemer actually knows a thing or two about actual, community banking. Roemer founded, and remains president of, Business First Bank. The bank appointed someone else to run the Board of Directors while Roemer pursues the presidency, but the fact still remains: Roemer founded a bank and built it into a successful company without all the shenanigans that big banks engaged in.

"For example, my bank is a small bankâ€“-it has about $700 million dollars in assets. We have about $500 million dollars in loans. We service small businesses--we're not a retail bank. We didn't receive any bailout money, although we were eligible for it. We didn't foreclose on a single homeowner; we didn't shut down a single business," Roemer said.

Roemer is alsoa strong advocate of regulating Wall Street if you read the article.

Republicans do not want a reasonable, moderate conservative for a candidate like Mr. Roemer. His policies (http://www.buddyroemer.com/issues) read like radical left wing politics to the mainstream GOP.

They want someone who will cut government down to nothing but the military, eliminate all regulation, reduce taxes to zero, and nuke any country that looks at us funny.

Also, they don't want anyone who is potentially smarter than they are. Knowing things about other countries is unnatural. Understanding economics is a liberal plot. Science is a plot of the devil.

A lot of people seem to think that this is a trend that started with Bush, but it isn't. This all started with none other than Newt himself. This primary is the culmination of his Angry White Man movement.

Sometimes I wish the cold war had never ended. At least then the American people wouldn't entertain the nutjobs running for the GOP nomination. No sane person would trust Michelle Bachmann or Rick Perry if nuclear exchange were a real possibility.
