Speaker Gingrich has a history that has been -- personal history does the personal history make a difference in your vote.

At all or your thinking.

The integrity associated with having a president who -- -- around the world around the -- Whose personal huge history might not be conducive to someone you want -- and you use it in May not be you know to that standard I think -- If it's questionable and -- is that big of an issue that that is something to consider.

Agree with Randi it definitely brings the person's integrity to the forefront.

-- -- -- Gingrich does have you know some some very good -- some of his ideas and policy.

If I do agree -- it I think that.

Voters especially -- more conservative voters will go with someone like a Mitt Romney who's -- you know keeping a -- playing low key.

And yeah I think that's that's the kind of person that they're.

Are we as voters will will more so go for.

So I think unfortunately some of the good ideas that -- -- will not.

You know be able to come to fruition because you know he had -- candy who kinda.

Laid low and ending and speak out much I think Mitt Romney would definitely -- Gingrich because of the integrity issues.

-- -- Politicians your age group or is it that is an assumption that -- Politically hypocrites of -- just trying to get your vote what started general idea politicians today.

I think it's a matter.

We can't see through -- -- -- -- -- I think it BCE and -- -- -- and especially all of us who are -- its interest in politics.

-- but the problem becomes again these small sound bites the certain messages we're taking America back we're going back to core American values that Mitt Romney was cited as saying it.

President Obama does and -- the end of the year and he -- -- -- this rhetoric of a lazy fear in an open competition and if opportunities were available people should -- go take those opportunities and that's sort of why.

Lower class individuals and where people are aware they are op I don't think Mitt Romney understands America there's -- is a period of -- of theory.

Myriad of personalities and experiences in the Erica and I think President Obama has and that's try to represent that.

I'll look to to put forth an image -- an idea they you -- something and or your constituency is one -- sort of idea.

Puts individual lack ourselves outside of that process.

I'm I'm American I'm -- part of America.

But I don't necessarily share his experience and he asked to see if he wants our votes that.

Hey we are America too and that we are facing structural issues and other think that prevent us from rising out of you know uncertain economic situation.

As the media been doing covering the race in terms of parents tuition -- -- -- to the candidates.

And the other.

Is doing the job for the voters.

I don't like how we become a sound bite society that's something that we expect that we -- and go to turn on the news and get two minutes and understand everything about politics I think.

Politics have become increasingly polarized and to be able to accurately understand all of the issues you need a lot more than -- -- -- And so.

I don't necessarily blame it on the media I think they can do a lot better but.

I think it's society in general what society's expectations are.

I think -- honest with you.

I think.

As.

Is nearly as they possibly can when they only have.

Two minutes to say something.

They're doing the best that they can I'd prefer that they not attack each other in the last two minutes of the editor -- hearing -- It's up and down out of its neck I didn't.

They're talking about Obama for like twenty minutes that they -- -- it's.

I was really yeah.

Yeah great friend Sam -- remain on a bullet points.

I really wish that I could see and all of the candidates that they understand issues they have their own policies they know why this policy should be.

Enacted and actually be passionate about instead of trying to remember -- is that my second winner right there.

I wanna see the passion and not just be something that their chief of staff for their campaign manager has -- that for them that they they really have reassert themselves.

And no is is really going to work is this going to save our economy is is going to help answer is this going to help the Middle East.

What exactly needs to be done and this is what I'm going to do not because my chief of staff for my campaign manager -- At the risk of being banned from Iowa.

And if you -- and it and it probably I would get the first byte at this answers yet -- in the process.

The answers.

Anyway I have checked the witnesses that ice -- him I think I was agrees.

Obviously.

High voter participation however I think it's just a little unfair how one state have so much hours so much acts to be candidates year after year.

I think some reform needs to be done how we nominate our presidential candidates.

When you let out of your head but I really do on the back that was -- -- there all right we'll do it.

I just think it gets hot it's one of the statements -- is the least representative of the nation and you know demographically speaking at least and they get the first shot.

And they get to have them the most important roles on the -- and Jeremy.

Yeah I think that.

It's not that I disagree with that -- Iowa I just think that.

Iowa there's always the issue on subsidies and it always coming up in congress people talking about ethanol subsidies and everything like that.

And to have the first first primary state.

B -- and that's a huge issue and be that major focus I think that deviates from.

Many other aspects -- kind of going back to demographics doesn't really qualify for.

Every aspect of the country that's not every issue having -- I promise you I swear I would definitely.

-- someone in like South Carolina -- much of subsidies.

Someone doesn't like and -- -- that -- -- -- a massive issue for the first state.
