Break the Blockade in Washington!


     June 15th, 2012 has arrived and all is really quiet on the political front it seems. Are we about to get a media blitz from the Republican Party come September or October for Romney’s mad run at the White House? Can his money really buy him the Presidency? Lets hope not, for America’s sake!

      Half way through June and it seems  no improvements have been made in the job market, medicare,medicaid and no rescue plan is in sight for us in the trade Agreements, Social Security or Postal Service jobs either!  The only part of the government actually working and thriving is the State Department under Hillary Clinton, why is that?

        I have now live through so many presidents it is silly really, when you get to 56, all you really want to do is have one damn good one in office dedicated to helping seniors and veterans and americans of all colors, races and nationalities. One that will stop the bleeding of the United States‘s money and finances and make us solvent once again. One that can and will return our credit rating as a country to the top once more and accomplish something period. A dormant America is not good for America, the World Economy or the World period, without America the world economy flounders and slows to a halt.  Sad isn’t it really, but true, we need to lead for it to all work. It doesn’t mean lead in wars, policing or fighting other countries, it means lead with brains, inprovements, science,financial control and trade agreements and in health and education too. America always led in the past and the world flourished and grew faster than anything in history and America needs to do it again.

        I tire of excuses from the Republican side about what we can do, or should do or why they disagree with President Obama on issues and why they won’t pass a bill worth the shit in Congress or trhe Senate. Sadly changes need to be made this election year, but the change is not to be in the presidency, it should be in the Republican controlled congress and they should be reduced back to the minority period. They are responsible for the log jams in Washington not anyone else, so when you vote in November, and all of us should ove r18 and legal, I say keep President Obama, trash some of the Republican Congress and lets break the blockade in Washington an dmove the country forward.

 

     

Republicans might be making a Big Mistake!


     Today January 21, 2012 is the Republican South Carolina Primary. As all that are left are 4 candidates now the field has slimmed down big time. But even with the remaining 4 choices, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul, there is no real front runner at this late date. Santorum won Iowa , Romney won New Hampshire and now it is looking like Gingrich will take South Carolina. The real question now becomes who do the republicans really want to face Obama in the fall election and who can win?.

       My opinion of these candidates on the Republican side is not a good one by anyone standards or calls. The way I see it is the republican voters give South Carolina to Newt Gingrich they lose in the fall election, If they give it to Ron Paul they are not voting for a conservative but a liberal republican.  Give it to Santorum and you give it to a moderate republican with religious views and ideas that don’t match the party he wishes to represent. That would leave Mitt Romney, but again each and every candidate in these Republican Primaries have their own forms of baggage and problems.

       I think the Republicans should think it over again in more ways than one, Newt Gingrich has more baggage then all of the remaining four combined. His record in Congress and as Speaker of the House speaks for itself. And how many conservative Republicans will trust a candidate who was married three times, asked for an open marriage from his second wife, and claims to be a Regan Republican and isn’t?.

        Sadly as I watch the election results get ready to roll in and people line up to speak about the candidates I can’t help but stop to think, Will any of the four left be able to actually stand up to Obama ? I don’t believe they can and survive his tactics nor his speaking against them. I know, I know what many will say, it’s either Gingrich or Romney and that’s it today!. Well your all probably right, but in the end, which would be best for the Republican Party? I believe the man for the job has to be Mitt Romney, at least he talks sense, controls his temper, and may listen to advisors and his own party, can the same be said of the former Speaker of The House Newt Gingrich, I doubt it!.

       So, here is what I say to Republicans across the land we live in, and i say it as an Independent, you choose to run Newt Gingrich against Barrack Obama you lose in November, no doubt in my mind.  While Mr. Gingrich is a rough and tumbler, fighter in debates and he can stand his own, when do we know when he willexplode on himself. his wife, his life or the american people and not be in full control/ And do we need an American President with tempermental problems and rudeness as well as outright aggressiveness to other nations? I don’t think so, so stop and think South Carolina and Florida who is next.We need economic solutions, a peacefull face towards the world and a President who will save Medicare, Medicade and Social Security, for all the aged citizens of today. I firmly believe to vote for Newt Gingrich is to vote for a person who can explode or get angry at anytime and who will make rash decisions instead of thinking things out fully. I just hope Republicans realize this before they give Mr. Gingrich the Nomination on a plater.
