That's not disturbing. Unless our plan is going to reverse the effects, I'm not sure we should cripple the economy.

It is disturbing because quite frankly "the cripple the economy" argument is the catch all a very large chunk of the GOP uses when they don't want to broadcast that they don't believe it and/or don't want to do
anything about it.
ON the terrorism...there is nothing ripping the band aid off is going to do but create more issues. It is the carpet bombing idea just expressed differently. The military commanders have said several times that such a plan simply won't work and is against everything they try to do as a military (i.e. engage using the rules of war trying to minimize collateral damage).
Rubio is extremely conservative. Not quite the whack job Cruz is, but very much a guy the Tea Party would likely love.
I wonder if he can make it though. The first time he was put in the limelight to give the response to the state of the union he had the water "incident" which made him look, well, junior to many people and it is considered on of the worst responses ever. This time thrust into the limelight after a surprising Iowa caucus he choked in the next debate. Thus far he seems to wilt under pressure.
If Kasich can grab second in New Hampshire I wonder if the establishment shifts over to him moving forward. He would have a great chance of winning because he is typically slight right which will attract a good amount of independents.
