What is it that you like about them?
I wouldn't feel comfortable with any of them running a hot dog stand, let alone this country.

I don't understand how a Clinton/Bush ticket could appeal to anyone, except perhaps uber-wealthy. Care to elaborate?

I think he's saying it'd be like hitting a self-destruct button.

Anything that promotes capitalism and aligns with my views is appealing to me, and the Republican candidates match my views more than the opposing party do.

Well, there's no question these guys are capitalists, so I'll give you that. Not that capitalism has ever been at jeopardy.Of course capitalism thrives when the jobs are actually in the country, which is not the case, and these guys don't seem to have a huge problem with that.
so, since your views match the GOP candidates more closely, would it be safe to assume then that you're:
Anti-Planned Parenthood/Choice
Anti-Social Security
Anti-Welfare
Anti-Healthcare
Anti-Gay Marriage
Anti-Gun regulation
Anti-Environment
Pro War/Military spending
Pro Giant wall at Mexican border
Anti-Legalization of Weed
Pro Death Penalty
Anti Separation of Church & State
Anti EPA
Pro wealth disparity

Anti-Planned Parenthood/Choice
Anti-Social Security (should be fixed)
Anti-Welfare (should be fixed)
Anti-Healthcare (should be fixed)
Anti-Gun regulation (should be regulated more than it is now, but i'm anti-gun control)
Pro War/Military spending
Anti-Legalization of Weed
Pro Death Penalty
Anti Separation of Church & State (i'm iffy on this)
Pro wealth disparity
These would go with what I think

Well, I guess they're definitely your party then.
Anti-Planned Parenthood/Choice - Assuming that this relates to the sanctity of life/abortion, then why also Pro Death Penalty ?
Anti-Social Security (should be fixed) - I agree it needs to be fixed, but I'm sure we disagree on how that'd be done
Anti-Welfare (should be fixed) - Well, considering that the bulk of the Republicans want to completely end Welfare and the food stamps program, I can't see how that'd be a fix.
Anti-Healthcare (should be fixed) - The fix is to socialize it following the systems in pretty much every other modern nation. The Republicans want to go back to the same old system that left millions uninsured, and the rest of the working class tied to a job in order to have it.
Anti-Gun regulation (should be regulated more than it is now, but i'm anti-gun control) - Gun control and regulation are really the same thing. There really hasn't been any strong push to ban guns entirely aside from military grade assault rifles. The Republicans appear to want all regulations removed so that everyone can just walk around openly packing heat like it's the 1800s in the Wild West
Pro War/Military spending - yikes
Anti-Legalization of Weed - With the success of Denver and its ability to deteriorate into a cesspool/drug haven, I have to wonder why? For a party that prides itself on the idea of freedom and less government, it seems really hypocritical to restrict rights towards marijuana usage, especially given that its less harmful than many legal drugs.
Pro wealth disparity - So you think it's perfectly ok for such a small % of people to control all of the nation's wealth while millions of working citizens can't afford to pay rent and feed their families?

This is absolutely terrifying. Your candidate (Santorum) is currently at the kids table debate.
Or your candidate is the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques.
