The real deal on impeachment comes out today

As evidenced by the the news today, the case for impeachment comes to the forefront. The real deal comes down today to Leon Panetta telling congress that this administration will seek the direction of the international community when it comes to actions of the American military. They will tell the congress when and if they feel inclined.

Walter B. Jones Jr. is threatening impeachment if this administration uses force without congressional approval. Bravo! Bravo!


But wait. So if we can't throw Mr. Obama out at the ballot box, but manage to throw him out by impeaching him, we are left with .............................. JOE BIDEN!!! .............AHHHHHHHHHHHHH .................ARRGGGHHHH............. My head is going to explode!


Please oh please ..... anybody with a heart .....anybody with passion .....anybody with compassion ..... all free thinkers .... anybody with a heartbeat ..... anybody with a soul ..... anybody with a creative idea .... anybody that believes in growth ..... anybody that believes in transcendence .... anybody that believes in love ....

...... Let's get rid of Obama in November ... we don't need a catch 22 here. A Biden takeover of the Oval office would be scary ... I can't even fathom that calamity waiting to happen.

Remember this: the free individual is the expression of the inner light. Freedom creates light, and reflects back the light inherent in the goodness of others. We will not let that disappear in the United States of America!


The bottom line is this:


Parading around the Whitehouse press room and waving around a forged document is one thing, going rogue international without congressional approval is a step above.

Hail Joe ArpaioDrudge post of Pravda article really shows cover-up. Birthers you and I were right all along

Irony in America bubbling forth. An article in Pravda is mocking the American press for complete silence on the Joe Arpaio investigation into the eligibility issue of Obama.

Can I get a drum roll ... or is it too late? .................................. PRAVDA!

The American press has become what Pravda used to be! Holy Cow!

I'm a born-again birther! ... Oh this is great! Thank you Joe Arpaio and thank you Drudge for posting the link to this article. We all owe you a debt of gratitude! I am posting this in the spirit of Andrew Breitbart. We are smarter and more well informed because of these men and many other citizens.

It is unfortunate that Rush, Glenn, and Hannity have largely ignored the birther issue. I think Rush mentioned the issue when the Arpaio report first came out. But of course the media created diversions in order to flood the airwaves with tangential issues. I have believed for a long time that the Bin Laden hit was timed to take out the birther issue. It wasn't more than a week after Obama committed a high crime and misdemeanor, by parading around a forged document, that Bin Laden was taken out. The CIA knew for many months about the location of Bin Laden. This was Obama's trump card (pun  intended). Donald Trump pushed Obama to come up with something. Obama called Trump's hand with a phony document. He then had to do something to drown the story before his own crime story suddenly got legs. I have no doubts .... none.

Particularly disturbing is the reference to Justiagate. This refers to groups of left wing organizations that specifically scrubbed transcripts of the Supreme court case Minor v. Happersett. Check out this quote from the American Thinker website:

New Jersey attorney Leo Donofrio accused online legal research behemoth Justia.com of surgically redacting important information from their publication of 25 U.S. Supreme Court opinions which cite Minor v. Happersett, an 1874 decision which arguably contains language that appears to disqualify anyone from presidential eligibility who wasn't born in the country to parents who were citizens.  According to the decision in Happersett:

The bottom line is that the elites knew there was a problem and they tried to clean it up with a Socialist mop. Just like Ogletree knew that the image of Obama hugging  Derick Bell would cause a problem for the Obama candidacy, they knew that precedents set by the Supreme Court would also be a "bit of problem." There is so much evidence and so much cover-up ..... it simply cannot be ignored. Trust me. You skeptics will be running to my side if Obama manages to worm himself back into office. At that point, impeachment will be the only option.

If he wins impeach him! (and Biden. Criminally investigate the whole administration)

This is why you better get your butts to the voting booth in November. We conservatives, libertarians, freedom lovers, and constitutionalists need to push against anything with a "D" in front of it. I want to appeal to family and freedom loving Democrats to do the same. That "D" has become radicalized. Become independent and throw out the radicals. Let's put citizens Republicans back into government. We took back the House. Let's bolster that majority. Let's re-take the Senate and start investigating the high crimes and misdemeanors of resident Obama!

Dennis Kucinich

Bye, Bye Dennis!! This is the best news so far this year. Dennis (I want to be a Statist) will be gone! Too bad we have to pay this guy a pension till the day he kicks!

Can Joe the Plumber finish of the job and oust Kaptur? Let's hope so.

As for Super Tuesday ... what a battle we had here in Ohio! My perceptions about Santorum on the eve of the Iowa Caucus proved to be true. He simply cannot draw the middle class female vote. Romney can.

I said back then (and I still believe) that middle class women will decide the presidential victor this fall. It is clear now that Romney is the only hope. He has the business skills, the executive skills, the optimism, and the leadership qualities necessary for the job of commander in chief. The only thing Obama has are the pandering skills, the government hand out skills, union thugs, pathetic commiseration skills, and the ass kissing media . He has nothing else! Nothing!

I feel Santorum fading here ... the social issues have spoiled the pot.

Not only did the Dems and the media find a way to take Santorum off track with this contraception issue , they managed to snare Rush into all of this. Kill two birds with one stone! All of the cliches are working for the radicals on the Left! They impregnated this primary battle with this issue as a smokescreen for the wholesale stripping of your constitutional rights!

Only the truly uninformed will buy this manufactured outrage of the Left. The hypocrisy is amazing! It's so amazing that Rush is just about the only one on the Right that will throw back the same crap that thousands on the Left dish out every .... fu*#ing .... day! Excuse my language. I try not to drop the F bomb.

This really ticks me off because I actually listened to the fifteen hours of Rush last week. Rush simply walked through the logical deductions to be drawn by the appearance of Miss Fluke at this unofficial appearance in front of house Democrats. In the two O'clock hour of his program now,  he is pointing out in detail how this parading of Miss Fluke was actually a Democrat press conference presented as a congressional hearing. Fluke was not invited by Darrel Issa to contribute to the official hearing. This was a dog and pony show put on by the Left to turn public attention away from the actual intention of the official hearings. That is: Does the government have the right to dictate to the population mandates and directives which violate religious freedom? That is the real issue. This is the issue that John Stewart and Bill Maher (One of the filthiest male whores in existence), throw down like a hat and dance around.

Rush was always presenting the material by means of the same logic that the Left uses to demonize constitutionalists and freedom loving Americans. But it will never change. Would Diego Rivera have become such a renowned painter if he had been anything but a communist? No.

Quicken Loans and the others that pulled advertising from the Rush program are complete and hopeless COWARDS!

Rush is making the point that this whole contraception issue is like the movie "Wag the Dog" This flick is about the media manufacturing a war. So now we have "Wag the Pill." It's sad but true.

Rush Limbaugh, Georgetown sluts,

Rush is tearing up the Left right now. He truly is brilliant! In reference to the Sandra Fluke testimony in congress, he queries, "Did you ever think about not having sex?" He says he is going to buy aspirin for all the female Georgetown students(to put between their knees). I am laughing out loud and rolling on the floor!

His point is that we shouldn't be subsidizing the sex lives of Americans. Pure and simple! Where is Sebelius on this? Shouldn't she be an advocate for condoms as a matter of minimizing the spread of social diseases?

But none of this is about what it seems to be about.

Command and control bureaucracies is what it is about. Nothing more.

Andrew Breitbart

This is a blow to all freedom fighters across America. This is tragic event and serves as a moment of pause for those of us a few years older. May I wish for half the courage that this man had.

To all you haters on the Left. Your hypocrisy is forever exposed by Breitbart in life and by Breitbart in death.

You are exposed to your core and you forever will be. Thank you Andrew Breitbart!

My read on the current delelgate count

Here is my read on the count. Here is is link to the stats:

Romney: 165

Santorum: 44

Gingrich: 38

Paul: 27

So what I do is I add two zeros at the end of each delegate count ... then I say,

"Romney 16,500% better than the policies of President Obama.

Santorum is 4,400% better than the policies of President Obama.

Gingrich is 3,800% better than the policies of President Obama.

Ron Paul is 2,700% better than the policies of President Obama."

Now, Mr. Obama. Please do not take this personally. I stated clearly in this blog early on that I could play a round of golf with you, have a beer with you at the 19th hole,  vehemently disagree with you in our subsequent social interaction, yet shake hands as respectable men ... agreeing to disagree. This is politics. This is not personal.

I think you are wrong in many ways, and I believe that you are completely untethered to any affirmative perennial philosophy. But I have no personal animosity toward you whatsoever. And if one of these guys doesn't get you out office     ...................... um ..................yeah ................... not a pleasant thought. Don't kill me ...  sir ... I could probably help you with your golf game, if anything. Talk to Immelt's old man ... He's one of my fans.

link to koch brothers firing back at Jim Messina and the Obama campaign ... fundraising letter

Rush just finished reading a letter written by Philip Ellender of Koch Industries. It is a brilliant response to the incubating dictator and his minions.

Read the letter here.

A scary five minutes on the bridge of a freeway ... the re-emergence of Newt Gingrich

I just experienced a rush! ... a rush of traffic ... a rush of thought.

A friend of mine called me for help. He had run out of gas on the I-480 Valley View bridge. Being that I live in a state of Independence in the city of Independence, that bridge is just about one mile away. So I hopped in the truck, full gas can in hand, and made it quickly to the point where he and his amazing dog were stranded. Most anyone in the Cleveland area knows this bridge. It traverses the Cuyahoga valley. Let me tell you, the flow of traffic is swift! I naturally pulled up behind his vehicle with my flashers on. I didn't get out of the car. I was just watching the traffic pour by us in the side view mirror while my friend poured in the gas. I could feel my truck swaying in response to the buffeting waves of air from the quickly passing vehicles.

Then the thought popped into my head. Are any of these people looking down to their phone to answer a call? Is some idiot trying to text in the supposedly slow lane? I cinched down to make sure my belt was on tight. When we got to the gas station he refilled my tank (here is a shout out to etiquette). I said hello to the dog and my friend and I we were talking about how scary the little episode was. He said, "you would think people would get over." He is right. Driving etiquette requires that vehicles approaching from behind and coming up to a disabled vehicle are supposed to make a lane change to assure a clear distance. I would say only twenty percent changed lanes. The perception of speed is quite different when cars are zipping by you 70 MPH and only three feet away from you!

The experience gave me a direct feel of how vitally important it is to have the free flow of oil. Domestic production of oil is vital! This is where Obama can be taken down. The campaign against Obama is like powerpoint presentation. Point, click, next screen. Start with oil and bowing to the Saudis. Work back to the first amendment stomping, Keystone clampdown, Solyndra, Fast and Furious, healthcare takeover (deemed as passed), Government Motors (screw the bondholders), and finish up with Joe the plumber (spread the wealth). You can work back from there to Jeremiah Wright, Acorn, Saul Alinsky, etc.


This is where the Newt option becomes viable. He has Palin in line for energy secretary (in my opinion) and Caine lined up for commerce. Newt possesses the quality of a statesman. He is articulate and can communicate the common sense of Obama absurdity. I still don't like the Abramoffian ties with Newt. But I'm just throwing it out there. I see Newt re-emerging.

Santorum can have the bumbling Clark Kent Moments ... and republican campaign strategy santorum romney gingrich

At the recent Arizona debate we got to see the defensive Santorum. But keep yourself open to the big picture. This is all part of the Team Obama plan. I agree with Rush. Occupy Wall Street was set up last year in anticipation of Romney as the likely foe. They hounded Caine and Newt about the sex stuff. Santorum was set up with the social issues so as to make him trip up over his tongue. Ron Paul ... they won't attack him because they want him to run third party. The operatives must be drooling over Paul right now. The idea is that Obama is trying to deliberately place spin on the candidate of his choice. He stepped on the Catholic church to rouse Santorum. I believe it was totally concocted to squeeze Santorum.(Obama actually just stepped on everybody. We are finding out what's in the thousand plus pages of the government health care takeover).

Each candidate has a chink .... oh no! ... in the armor. OK ... I'm going to use the term Achilles Heel. Is that term OK with the thought police? Each candidate has a weakness, and Obama is using the old divide and conquer technique. Classic move ... a no-brainer! This is what needs the attention. Obama now has all of his campaign commercials practically made for him.

Here is what needs to happen. Before Super Tuesday, each of the candidates should agree to have a press conference... all four together ... (OK ... maybe minus Ron Paul).  They should do a photo op of them all together. Here is the way forward. Each one should say publicly that no matter who ultimately gets the nod for the nomination, each of the other two (or three) will campaign for the nominee. They need to agree to publicly defend each other in the final showdown. When Obama starts running the "circular firing squad" primary, caucus, and debate footage, each former candidate can go out there, defend the nominee, and tongue lash Obama for his socialistic policies. Now we have three or four voices sucking up airtime and media attention rather than just the nominee and his VP candidate. Don't forget about the advantages we are accruing by this drawn out affair.

We don't want hard feelings after the dust settles. It is very important to see them unite before Super Tuesday.

------------------------------

I listened to Mark Levin interview both Santorum and Gingrich.

Listen Here

-----------------------------


Romney starts to sound great ... then he steps in it. Today he was talking about his economic plan ... then he says that the very rich won't get as much of a tax break because he want to maintain a progressive tax code. The word "progressive" is the last word a conservative wants to hear

Fifty years since John Glenn's trip in orbit! Oh the days of dreaming big!!

I had the chance to shake John Glenn's hand in Vail, Colorado. He smiled when I told him that I was from Ohio. He seemed like a good hearted soul. I know, how dare I say something nice about a Democrat. Hey, back then when Glenn served in the Senate there were a lot of Democrats that were more conservative than 99% of the Democrats today.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jennifer Stefano was brilliant on Hannity's radio show today! Brilliant! She was railing against "Michelle 'Antoinette' Obama" off on a ski trip and hanging out with the elites. In honor of your beautiful rant I have posted this picture.

... Oh, and about this whole Jeremy Lin "chink in the armor" hubub. This is so silly. Let's just finish off the first amendment completely!! Such bull crap. This is all intended to get America off onto the tangent of hyperbolic hypersensitivity. (Let's get back to the issues: Unemployment, deficits, economy, taxes, etc.) This also leads me back to FDR. How about when FDR put the Japanese into internment camps? Who got fired for that?! Was that an insult to people with Oriental descent? I'm just wondering.


So here is FDR on the Amberjack II before his internment gig.

FDR on the yacht while America was in the throes of the Great Depression. Democrats have not changed. H.G. Wells even wrote about it. See link below.

Obama and company have taken it to a new level! George Bush would clean up brush at the ranch and the media pegged him as a vacation prone golf maniac. We have multiple plane trips and entourages to exotic locations by this clown act ... and .... still ...... nothing .....I hear crickets.

Oh! Look .... below the fold ... why it's none other than the father of the income tax and father of the United Nations Cordell Hull.  and Ramsay MacDonald ...  Smashing!! Hull was the guy who would someday block Jewish refugees from coming to America just as they were being slaughtered in Hitler's Germany. Nice guy ... won the Nobel Peace Prize. It's just amazing to me that, even back then, it was awarded to illogical candidates.

Oh and they're at the world conference in London ...

Ouch!

Billy Cunningham is taking Santorum to task for being sucked into the media setup. I did not see the Bob Sheefer interview of Santorum this morning. According to Cunningham, Santorum has allowed himself to be painted as an extremist. Instead of focusing on the real issues of energy policy, inflation, deficits, unemployment, he allowed himself to be drawn into the weeds by the media. I must say that I'm glad I missed the interview. I too would be pulling my hair out. The Occupy movement was invented to stomp on Romney and the Contraception issue was formulated to stomp on Santorum ... I can hear Obama now ... "Uh ... this Santorum fella ... he's a Catholic huh? ...uhhhhhhhhhh ... let's tick him off real good. Let's stomp on religious liberty and paint this Santorum fella as a right wing extremist. Divide and Conquer that's the ticket."

Wayne Alyn Root was brilliant as Cunninghams opening guest ... www.rootforamerica.com. He points out how common sense is evaporating when it comes to the focus of the real issues. All we have to do is look at Europe. We are soon to be like Greece if we don't turn it around. All of the solutions are out there. Do the exact opposite of what Obama is doing and there is real hope. Continue on the same path and you get Greece. No crystal ball needed. The "yellow media" is again trying to write the script. Today they succeeded.

What happened today is what I was afraid of when I wrote my pre-Iowa perspective. I was wondering in print if Santorum could pull the white middle class female vote. Based on what happened today ... probably not. This is not a social issues campaign. This is a jobs and economy campaign.

First of all: Mitt! Rick! Get off the earmark thing! It's chump change. Don't deal in your chump change. Deal with Obama's chump change. His whole vision is "chump change" ... sucka! Obama will inflate his way to re-distribution of wealth. In other words, the millions and billions being  handed out by the Obama deficit machine will end up completely in the hands of the statists. Then they say, "so what if bread costs $50.00 a loaf, I started a now defunct green energy company and pocketed 25 million taxpayer dollars. Eat shit and die Mr. middle class!"

You see how this shit works America!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh yeah, I know Google. My screen often goes to a popup window which says that I "have logged off from another location." I am completely aware that this blog is monitored. The first amendment of the constitution is being choked as we speak. Why stop with religion? Why not move on to intellectual dissent. Why not just call constitutionalism ... um ... let's call it sedition an have a beer. Who goes to jail first? Mark Levin? Or some schmuck like me? Revolt at the ballot box America!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh ... it happened again.

Above is a screenshot of this

----------------------------------------------------------

Wow! This is really, really getting good! I love it! America loves it! One of Santorums top supporters made the joke that "in his day birth control was cheap. Women used aspirin. They held the aspirin between their knees ... worked great!" America hates political correctness! I only heard the clip. I didn't see the reaction of Andrea Mitchell. Priceless! I love it.

Santorum himself rips into Obama and his numbers soar! Yes! Obama, who has spent the last three years trying to convince America that his distorted actions are normal, is accusing Republicans of distortion and negativity. This is truly a man with a forked tongue!

The reason Santorum needs to get in is so that he can go after the money that has been stolen from the taxpayers. Romney would just let it go. He would say something like, "They raided the treasury like bandits ... oh well ...that's in the past. Let's look forward." We may be able to talk him into to it. but Santorum would shake it up.

Rush is my ditto head

When I heard early this morning that Eric Holder and the Justice Dept.  just got a 25 billion dollar settlement from the big banks, the first word that came into my head was "shakedown." Rush has just brilliantly articulated the absurdity of the whole thing.

My feeling is this. When Rick Santorum becomes president, Holder should be investigated and criminally prosecuted for extortion. He should be pounding rocks along with many of the other criminals in the Obama administration.

If I had any doubt about my commitment to vote for Santorum, he just erased all doubt for me!

GO SANTORUM!

In an interview with Beck, he called Romney a "technocrat manager." That's a pretty good description. He points out that, while Newt and Mitt tear each other apart, neither can differentiate themselves enough from Obama himself. That's quite lucid. He also said that the whole money issue is irrelevant when going against Obama. Every person going against him will get outspent. He also noted that, with the media on the side of Obama, the candidate must have the issues on his side. Amen Rick!

Go Rick Santorum! This is getting good folks. I know a good number of conservatives out there are convinced that this field isn't so strong. I really do disagree. Even the great Rush Limbaugh has said something to the effect that this isn't a great field.

Mark Levin

Mark Levin is doing an insightful interview with John Lott. He is explaining how Obama's tax hikes on the marginal rates, tax penalties imposed as dollar income rises, and high capital gains taxes are destroying the capital markets. No international investor wants to put money into such a high tax capital environment.  He is also explaining why the capital gains tax is (and should be) lower than the marginal rates. The corporation has already given 40% of the profits in taxes (unless you are GE). The secondary distribution to the investor is then taxed again. So really, the capital gains tax should be dropped to zero ... at least no more than ten percent. www.johnrlott.com.

I am looking forward to reading Levin's "Ameritopia."

I'm listening to John B. Wells interview Stewart Rhodes, the founder of Oathkeepers. Absolutely fascinating! I am very happy to know that this organization exists.

"The state of the union is ...................strong?" I knew he couldn't use that line ... and he didn't.  It's "getting stronger." Oh I see.  I will not even waste my time on this pure disrespectful piece of disingenuous drivel. Obama was on top of his game with the faux compassion tone. It was almost like he was pleading, "come on guys, it's not that bad." He set up congress by asking that irrational bills be sent to him to sign. Knowing that this won't happen, he says that he will not wait for congress and sidestep them. The cocoon of the incubating dictator is starting to crack. I think I see a wing!

Obama has destroyed the idea of the pipeline ... so I went out and bought my own. I finally broke down and rented an internet pipe. I used to stop up to the library and put together some posts. But now I'm 24/7 ... lookout!

I am so out of the habit of writing that I barely know what to say. Most of all, thank you to anyone who may stop by to read. That's what I want to say first. Thank You.

I am working on a new piece of Obama art. Look for that soon. Again, feel free to go to the Fearcampaign blog and print up some posters. This poster shows how hope has morphed into fear and despair.


We have a record number of people on foodstamps.

We have a president that rejects Keystone ... and how convenient it is that Warren Buffets rail system would suffer from the project.

OK I'm done. I need to send a card to someone.

This poster is for all my patriot friends in the areas affected by the delay of the Keystone pipeline. Click on the picture below to download the eight panel FREE poster!

Eight Votes!

Right off the rip Santorum has consolidated social conservatives! Though all the speeches were fantastic, Santorum's rose above. When he was speaking about his youngest daughter, I moved my attention to his wife. The love and emotion of his wife's eyes brought a tear. Now that's what I want to see in a potential first lady. Santorum's message was personal and it revealed the core motivations of the man. This core centered message is something that goes beyond all forms of money and media manipulation.

Superman Santorum!

We have a photo finish. Perhaps I should have likened Santorum to Secretariat! Man I love this! So, sticking to my theme from yesterday, Santorum just went into the phone booth to throw off  the Clark Kent glasses. He is pulling off the shirt and tie. Is that the letter "S" I see being revealed underneath the mild mannered exterior of a coal miner's grandson?

I just got through all of the speeches. Each and every one of the speeches were fantastic in their own way. Like I said yesterday, every candidate has admirable qualities.

It is a strong, strong field!

My early pick for the Republican nomination

An Open Letter to Tea Party Voters

        By Jeffrey Moore

I have been trying to logically ferret out any misconceptions I may have about the Republican presidential field before the start of the caucus and voting season. I want to take a look at each one here and try to come to a reasoned decision by voting time. For the fact that all of these candidates have desirable attributes among them, it would be preferable to nominate an amorphous being which possesses the best aspects of each one. Unfortunately I do not have that option. Needless to say, most of these candidates represent the possibility of stepping back from the brink. Each has an element that stands up favorably to the one man wrecking crew named Obama. In contravention to common belief, we have the strongest field of candidates in DECADES. Yes … decades! This is for the fact that they possess an assortment of distributed qualities and the fact that the pendulum has swung so far that the swing is about to go over the top of the swing set. Very strong field. Very strong!

Who can beat Obama? Any one of them! Any one! Obama has been busy the last three years planting powder kegs of self destructing policy bombs. He has blown up the economy, corrupted the justice department, corrupted the energy department, and puffed up the unions and foreign banks with fiat Wall Street cash. This is just the start of the list of complete failures (or radical leftist warrior successes, depending on your point of view).

Many of the lucid out here in fly-over country are wise to the latest shell game. Obama and the shape shifter political class have turned the notion of a contribution to the Social Security fund straight on its head. In the good old days this deduction from wages was an insurance payment but now suddenly, it’s a tax! So Obama and his cronies are allowing Social Security to “wither on the vine” while telling the uninformed that he’s cutting taxes. He can hasten the end of Social Security, a so-called ideal of the leftist disposition, and take credit as a tax cutter as well. It is completely absurd!

This election will be decided by common sense working men and working women. We need a free market leader who understands the meaning of purpose and work. I myself experienced a stint of unemployment. I took the state aid and felt the pull of the addiction to getting money for nothing. It breeds hopelessness. This administration is intent on shifting the mentality toward acceptance of the Nanny state for everyone.

This is what we’re up against. This is what the candidate will be up against. Which candidate can best articulate a different vision and act upon that vision to create positive results? In a future debate against Obama any one of the Republican hopefuls could almost just read the list of disasters, turn deadpan to the camera and say, “Really America? Is this what you truly want?”

Who among these can stir the optimism required to jump-start America? Who can summon the resolve to tell it like it is? America is ready to go back to being America … unobtrusive government, low taxes, freedom of the individual … balanced budgets, sound currency, free markets … the whole ball of wax. We know that there is a bitter pill ahead. Real Americans are ready to take the medicine for the sake of our freedom and our way of life. Sixty-nine percent of us don’t buy the class warfare game. Sixty-nine percent of us are smarter than the media. Sixty-nine percent of us want the eagle of America to soar again. We are the 69%! Among this sixty-nine percent of common sense Americans there are many disaffected Democrats. They look at Obama and ask, “What happened to the ideals of John F. Kennedy or even the happy go lucky Bill Clinton?  Radicalism is not what I signed up for!” Which candidate can yank some of these put-off Democrats from Obama?

Let’s get to it.

Newt Gingrich. I was shocked to see that the Tea Party Patriot forum gave the edge to Newt over Michelle Bachmann. I did not participate in that forum. I almost hope to guess that the forum was infiltrated by the Statists to skew the vote. Whatever was said, I’m sure that Mr. Gingrich presented very articulate arguments. I have enormous respect for Newt as a thinker and as an historian. He talks a great game. He has been saying things that resonate with the American people. He has been calling out the occupy movement. The common sense American knows that throwing millstones around the necks of job creators does not solve economic problems. Newt has plucked a string here.

Newt seems to be fading a bit here for Iowa. That is good. Newt is not the answer. If you doubt me, rent the movie “Casino Jack,” starring Kevin Spacey as Jack Abramoff. It does a great job of exposing the whole inside the beltway, money, power, and influence game. At one point in the movie, Abramoff looks admiringly at a framed picture of Newt as he puts it in a box. Newt was and still is part of the Abramoffian crowd (to coin a word). In simple terms, Barack Obama and Newt Gingrich are the yin and yang of the big money/big government machine. This is exactly what the Tea Party should be fighting against. Additionally, Just the thought of couch time with Nancy Pelosi makes me want to throw up a little bit in my mouth. His 24/7 stump speech is a litany of founding father and Lincoln quotes. No doubt, there is much to be said of wise words from the past. But those words don’t resonate when Newt uses them as a shield. His confidence in uttering these words makes it easy for the uninformed to believe in Newt as he raps poetic with the words of the forefathers. But I don’t have a sense of his core convictions. Is it OK that Newt was a  cheating husband in the more distant years past … as opposed to Caine. He is merely accused of it and he’s out. Hmmm? Sounds like the media is just trying to destroy each candidate one by one. If Newt gets the nod, we’ll have watch the whole infidelity issue get resurrected. Plus Pelosi would play the hypocrisy card. She has the insider DC dirt on him? Despite the value of Newt’s ability to debate, Obama has the ability to make Newt look like a stodgy old relic from the past. Yawn …  Newt represents a simple switch-up of the big government money game. Sorry Newt. Your out!

Ron Paul. Where to start? I love his position on the Fed. I love his refusal to shut up about the hypocrisy in  government. I love his ability to make Ben Bernanke say that gold is not money. LOL. I agree that the drug war is a sham. I believe we have the crime of the century going on in DC right now. I think he agrees with that. I want to open Fort Knox and force the government to prove that our national treasure is still there. There are a lot of things he is on top of. I shook his hand on the Capitol stairs a couple of years ago. He seems like a nice guy overall. But I can’t pull the lever for this guy. I cannot buy into his turtle shell isolationist mentality. Sure I think we need to bring in our necks a little, perhaps use the military to actually physically protect the borders of the country. But closing bases everywhere? No. We need new leadership in the diplomatic world and I don’t want to put Paul in charge of shaking up the State Department. We have experienced three years of a genuflecting president. We already have one apologist for America in the White House. We don’t need another one. And I won’t buy into blaming America for 911. Sorry Ron Paul. You are gone. Please don’t come back third party either. Who is your VP  … Jesse Ventura? Come on now!

John Huntsman. Former governor became a diplomat in the Obama administration. Guilt by association. No! If it becomes the candidate, will I vote for him? Of course! If it came down to Huntsman, he could pick Yosemite Sam to be his running mate and I would still pull the lever. That’s how bad Obama is!

Rick Santorum. He has a great conservative record and sublime male charisma. If he put on the Clark Kent glasses, he could pull of the role of Superman. His super social conservative rigidity will not go over with women. I just don’t think he can pull the female vote. He has some pork barrel decisions out there … but what former Senator doesn’t. He looks like he has that inner “good guy” core which would blossom over time. A good executive will have to put together a good team. I’m not sure he has the executive ability. Remember, we are looking for a CEO of the United States. I do like him so this is sort of an “oops sorry” no.

Speaking of oops … let’s move to Rick Perry. If he doesn’t get the nomination, we’ll probably see him on Dancing with the Stars. He looks like the former quarterback of a winning football team. Lot’s of natural Reagan-like charisma. Obviously debate is not his strength. Obama would probably eat him up with his mastery of circular logic. Perrry would probably stand there in silent awe wondering how Obama manages to turn a complete lie into the perception of truth. There is a group of Obamamaniacs that will never see the deception nor care to delve into the details. They have been sufficiently misdirected by the brain games of the media morphology. I think Perry would have trouble combating this tactic in a debate. On the plus side for Perry, I don’t think Obama will agree to many debates. Who needs to debate when Obama has a near billion dollar image control/mass media flood of a campaign. If Perry gets in, Obama’s strategy would likely change. More debates would get lined up.

I don’t like the whole forced vaccination program the he favored and I don’t like the wink and a nod immigration stance taken by Perry. We all know that there was drug company influence there on the vaccination issue. And I know that this whole anchor baby thing is a mess. That's a bit of a quandary. At least he acknowledged that he made mistakes. Perry is my dark horse. I say this only for the fact that he has charisma, leadership capabilities, and executive experience. These are all things that Obama lack. Perry uses the word “we” a lot. That is refreshing after having listened to Obama utter the word “I” more times than I care to remember. Sure some say Obama has charisma but, to me, it is pure theatrics performed by a chameleon of a man. Something about Perry gives off the air of a wooden patina. I think he shows some self-consciousness under the glare of the hot media lights. Again, there is nothing wrong with that. That too is somewhat refreshing compared to the reptilian coolness of Obama. He probably won’t get my vote … but I could be swayed. He could rally in the South. I am in Ohio, a lot may be shaken out by the time I get to vote.

My final conclusion is that common sense middle class working men and women will decide this race. This is a “purse strings” race and a “get government off my back” race.

This takes it down to Bachmann and Romney. Whoah! Romney? What?! Romney was the squishy moderate governor of Massachusetts. He put state run healthcare into the state. It served as the model for Obamacare. Romney is an anathema to the Tea Party. Bachmann managed to get about forty thousand people to gather on the steps of the Capitol building in Washington DC to demonstrate against the government takeover of healthcare. I know. I made the bus trip to be there. A vote for Romney is Tea Party heresy, right?

But we have not answered the question. Would more middle class men and women go for Bachmann, or for Romney?

Bachmann’s executive experience may not stack up to Romney’s, but she is a self-made woman who raised a whole bunch of foster kids. She has solid private sector experience. She does belong to the law and litigation class. She was a government lawyer. That is a bit of a downer for me. On the plus side, she is articulate and can state the argument clearly. She stacks up nicely against this president because Obama has proven that barriers can be broken. She could continue the trend. Every person preceding her has managed to rack up 15 trillion in debt … and they were all men. Why not turn it over to a budget minded female. She could resonate with the large swath of independent minded women. Smashing through the gender barrier in a year when many Americans are aware of the 2012 phenomenon is a lovely noetic theme. This year does represent a re-birth of sorts.

So the question is, can she draw the middle class female vote? Are there some feminine dynamics there that will cause discord among that voting group? The media would try to give her the Palin treatment. That’s for sure. They have already started. Bachmann is supposedly a complete moron because she wished Elvis Presley happy birthday on the anniversary of his death. This alone disqualifies her, right? It’s so silly. I believe that most people are wise to the media and a backlash would occur. I think she could, in time, win over independent women. I have no doubt that she could pull the middle class male vote. At the risk of sounding sexist, she is not at all unpleasant to the eyes. It all depends on her ability to take Obama to task for what he has done. Of course the hardcore feminists, gays, leftists, and statists in general, hate her guts. The media will try to start up a cat fight between Bachmann and the American woman. Obama would play the gender card and the media will let him get away with it. Bachmann would not. She could capitalize on Obama’s Achilles heel … the strong woman. Let’s face it folks, Michelle Obama runs that show. I would like to watch Bachmann go toe to toe with him.

Here is my one concern. As the stagecoach of America heads toward the cliff, a Bachmann presidency would have the effect of throwing a stick into the spokes of the wagon wheel. I have no doubts about her vision, but I do have my doubts that she could generate the right team and follow through with the implementation of reform. I’m not sure she could do this while maintaining civil order. I do believe she has core conviction. After all, the name of her book is “Core of Conviction.” I will surely read it before I make my final decision. I believe Bachmann, Santorum, and Perry are most aligned with Tea Party values. Those three are the purest in the race. Unfortunately a Bachmann candidacy will be turned into a sideshow. I can see the negative ads now, “A woman that doesn’t stand up for women. Let’s stay with Obama the champion of all.” … or some such nonsense. As I mentioned, the gender card will be played and allowed to flourish. I think Obama could destroy her just based on the billion dollar campaign he would run against her. What America needs is a turn around guy.

OK. Now we have Romney. He is known for being a turn around guy. He turned the money losing Salt Lake City winter Olympics into a profitable venture. He has a knack for turning losers into winners. Right now America is like a failing business. Romney has the leadership qualities to put together the right team to get the train back on the rails. Yes, the horses are in full gallop, racing toward the edge of the canyon. I believe that Romney has the ability to turn the horses without over turning the stagecoach. A Romney presidency has more promise if the electorate ushers in a Republican majority in the Senate. There is no doubt about that. This possibility makes the VP pick more crucial. Since the VP is president of the Senate, a firebrand reform minded individual will be required. Romney will have to put an Obamacare repeal advocate in as VP. Seven Democrats have already decided not to seek re-election for the Senate. There is a distinct possibility that the VP will oversee a Senate with a new powerless bundle of negativity known as Harry Reid. If the legislature puts forth a bill to repeal Obamacare, I have no doubt that Romney would sign it. A giant thumbscrew would be released off of business. The climate of a revived America would almost instantly be felt. So long as patriotic government servants push toward a smaller Federal government mentality and restraint on their own powers (term limits), the republic may be saved. The thought of anti establishment conservatives in the legislature makes a Romney presidency more palatable to me.

As for his own healthcare fiasco in Massachusetts: I think Romney realizes he was acting as a Governor and not an actuary. He gave the people what they demanded. He did it, even though it was not based on sound economic principles. I think at this moment, he can point to it and say, “look, it’s losing money and providing diminishing services. I screwed up! It is obviously not wise to expand it to a national level.” Americans will be willing to forgive the guy if he is sincere. One positive is that, as governor, he bent to the will of the electorate. Misguided as their ideas may have been, he gave them what they demanded. I think it’s fair to say that the national electorate will also make demands. One of those will be that Obamacare is scrapped and thrown onto the trash heap of other horrible discarded ideas. Another criticism of Romney is that he is too gentile. Obama implements socialistic policies, yet Romney he refuses to attach any personal responsibility to the man who is implementing them. He refuses to publicly question Obama’s intentions. I think Romney feels that it is below him to roll in the dirt with an incubating dictator. There is another thing that Romney has in his corner to address that problem. His name is Chris Christie. Romney can stay the nice guy while Christie tells it like it is to the American people. Having Christie in his corner is an enormous advantage for Romney.

As for a VP pick? Based on what I just said, a Romney/Christie ticket would be very strong. Bachmann could also fit the bill. Much like Palin, she could shore up the conservative base. Plus she would serve as Prsesident of the Senate. She could lead the charge to repeal Obamacare. But the media would have a field day with this pairing. It could just replay its strategy from 2008. I think Rubio would be a strong choice. That is until the media suddenly discovers that they have an interest in eligibility issues. Paul Ryan or Alan West would also be strong choices. Romney would have options for sure.

So it appears that I might have to bite the healthcare bullet and go for Romney. This is probably the last conclusion you think you would hear from a self-proclaimed Tea Party guy. I must say, I have shocked myself. Six months ago, I would have said “No Way!”

Here is one final analogy. Sixty nine percent of the populace of this great nation is collectively like a giant Gulliver. Statist, leftist, and radical Liliputians have tied us down. We landed on the beach in the early twentieth century and the miniature ropes against freedom have been slung over us ever since. Obama and cronies have just finished tying down the last finger. We are about to sit up and rip the ropes right out of the sand. We need a “Team America” president.

As I sift this all down, it appears that Romney is the clear team leader, a person that will apply a strategic business plan for America. I see in him the ability to put together a solid cohesive team. This is what we need more than anything else right now. There is one more thing Romney has going for him. He has at least ten times the net worth of his nearest competitor. That is big when going against Obama this year. Obama has the advantage of incumbency. He can hold back his millions for an astonishing propaganda blitz next fall. Let's face it folks, an underfunded campaign is going to be tough against Obama's fat campaign wallet.

Whichever candidate can incorporate the collection of no nonsense solutions into his or her message and embrace the quality ideas of their early opponents will be the victor. I am hoping for a tight race in Iowa and going forward so that the overall message is honed and clear. Trust me, if the message is clear then money becomes less of an issue. Obama propaganda overload might be able to be used against him. It could be a valuable weapon to an underfunded but highly defined candidate.


Oh shoot, I just became undecided again!

Oh heck, I may just vote for Superman!
