Welcome to 2012

Now it is time to kick this blog into full gear.

Starting Tuesday, I will be bombarding you with blogs, and such. We will have a more clear image of who the GOP is going to throw out there. From what it looks like as of right now it will be Mitt Romney, and Ron Paul leading the pack. It is funny when you think about Paul being considered. Why? It is just a sign of parody within the GOP. Paul is a candidate that any other year would receive 2%-10% of votes. Since the field is so weak, and Romney will not get the Evangelical vote, Paul is now the flavor of the month. 

We have gone through, Michelle Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, and now Paul has some support. Rick Santorum (google his name) is now trending as Paul's less than tolerant past comes to light. It will be interesting to see what comes of this all.

I would love to stay and debate the Paulbots that found me, but I am only one person. Not to mention, it is really tough to debate someone when they are giving you half-truths.

Dear Tuesday, please shut these people up!

GOP's Three Stooges

The 2012 GOP primary season is right around the corner. Although it is only November the GOP hopefuls are punching and swinging at each other. Although these men are presidential candidates, they look more like rejects from Three Stooges shorts. Okay, so it’s not just three, but the point is made.

Long time presidential hopeful Mitt Romney was the early leader, but fell off the wagon after Michelle Bachmann won Iowa and Rick Perry threw his name into the hat. Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, has just about no chance of winning, even if he was picked. It is a very simple reason; he laid down the frame work for Republican enemy number one, “Obamacare.” He passed a universal healthcare bill that almost mirrors President Obama’s. Not to mention Romney is a chronic flip-flopper.  Look no further than Ohio’s SB 5, which is a union stripping bill. Romney supported it, then he didn’t, and now he supports again.

Romney may seem like the sanest of the bunch, but he isn’t the current leader though.

Herman Cain is currently leading in most polls across the country.  Cain has already dug himself a hole with his SimCity-like “9-9-9” plan. That plan would create a flat tax, lowering taxes on the rich, while raising those on the poorest Americans. Not to mention he recently said that “knowing all foreign policies isn’t that important”. Even better, Cain said he would sign a constitutional amendment banning abortion. What this Tea Party backed candidate doesn’t realize is that the president would be a non-factor in adding a new amendment. The Tea Party are the ones that want a more constitutionally-based government, right? They are behind a man who doesn’t get it. Amazing!

After the former GoodFellas Pizza CEO, we have Bush 2.0, correction, Rick Perry. Perry made news recently after meeting with birther Donald Trump. The Texas governor proceeded to then beat the dead horse that is Obama was not born in America; even after his birth certificate was released. He is another supporter of a flat tax, which would be another attack on the poor. Along with that, he has his religious views that he is injecting his campaign with. To take a step back for a minute, this is the same guy that led a prayer session in Houston just before he jumped into the GOP debate.

There are other issues that all these men stand behind, like banning abortion. So not only do they want to continue their class warfare, they will also add gender warfare too. The strangest thing about these candidates is this thing; they are not focusing on Obama and his so-called failed economic plan. They are focusing more on ethical and personal agendas first.

New Hampshire is right around the corner. With that we can probably say good-bye to candidates like Bachmann and Ron Paul. Until then we will be stuck hearing the same old argument from the GOP’s three stooges.
