President Flip-flop? President Infidelity?
Newt? Mit? Mit Newt? Newt Mit? President Newt? President Mit? Hmm. No. No-no-no! Not now. Not ever! Never!

We need a candidate resume with ALL experiences listed.
If only there was someone capable to run for the Republicans. I really feel sorry for the Republican Party. No candidates worth a flip. Not a one in the bunch worth anything. All political dogs. Ill informed, far from main stream thinking, paid off by lobbyists, and mostly dim-witted. Not one reasonable Presidential Candidate in the Republican Party.
Isn’t there someone out there? Is there not one Republican with a reasonable I Q? Perhaps the Republican Party should recruit a qualified candidate from the Independents. Someone with a moderate approach. Someone both the Republicans and Democrats can warm up to.
A candidate with true American values. Someone who knows the U S Constitution and how it came about. Someone who has read the intellect of the founding fathers and what inspired the writings of the Declaration of Independence. What were the founders were thinking before the declaration was signed and acted on. Why did the writers and signers of the Declaration of Independence come to the conclusion America needed to be free from England? What was it that motivated the early resisters to the British Crown?
Perhaps we should go back and study what happened and capture the spirit of Independence. Experience what real Imperial suppression was. What freedom really means.
I just don’t see or know of anyone in the Republican Party that gives the impression he or she is knowledgeable and mature enough to be President of the United States. Leader of the free world. Champion of Life, Liberty, and a pursuant of happiness. A believer of the Constitution. A defender of justice and a keeper of the law. And, most of all beholding to no Corporation, no ideology, dogma, or shallow and self-serving pledges.

Worst Candidate
Monday, November 21, 2011
So who will it be this week? Newt? Mit? Herman?
First it was Michele. Then it was Mit. Then it was Rick in a big way. Then here came Herman out from left field. Then here came Mit again. Now it is Newt’s turn to flounder and contort the truth. If this ain’t “flip-flop” on the Republican bandwagon, I’ll gladly eat my Styrofoam convention hat.
All this indecisiveness is due to the Wishy-washiness of the Republican electorate. And I’m sure it won’t stop there. Once the Republicans decide Newt is a bit problematic, they will look back to former governor Mit. The only candidate with credibility. From that juncture, where the Republicans go on to is anyone’s guess.
So, the process will continue. Flip-flopping because some well-intended evangelicals just don’t want a Mormon as a Republican candidate. So is that worse than a two-face slanderer from Georgia who claims he isn’t a Washington insider when he really is. Former speaker of the house not a Washington insider? Give me a break.
Is being Mormon worse than being accused of sexual harassment? Is it worse than being a loopy goofball Texas Governor? Ladies and gentlemen of the Republican Party, what are you thinking?
Speaking as an outsider, I really suggest the Republicans look closer at former governor Huntsman and once again back at Romney. Both have good thoughtful ideas and seem to have broader appeal. Both seem to have quality educations.
However, Republicans don’t want anything well thought out. Plus Republicans don’t trust anyone with an Ivy League education. Once again, Republicans being the narrow-minded champions of one-issue candidates. Throw out the baby with the bath water. Think like us one hundred percent of the time or jump off our flip-flop bandwagon. Kind of stupid, huh? No real wonder I had change political parties.

Gove. Supercuts is suggesting more cuts.
Once again Governor Rick Perry has alienated yet another group. He has spoken. And again without regard to the people or subject. He has once again shot himself in the foot. Who is it this time you ask. This time it is congress. Yes, the U S Congress. Adding to his people and groups to alienate like pearls on a string. He has besmirched our beloved and very low rated United States Congress.
I don’t know of any other individual who besmirches and writes-off people places and things with such dispatch as Texas’ Governor Rick Perry. He focuses, draws his gun, and fires with skill and disregard. Blasting holes in any target as well as himself.
Gov. Rick ‘Supercuts’ Perry has proposed before an Iowa audience to cut Congresses pay by fifty percent. Yes, cut it in half. Reduce it to a wage most unemployed would love to have. Something close to 85k dollars per year. A pay base many Middle American would love to receive.
However, congress (most of whom are Republicans) may not agree with Rick. Thus reducing his chances to become the Republican nominee at the national convention this next August. Gov. Perry’s recommendation is like stirring up a hornet’s nest. And in this case the hornets are self-important congressmen and women. Just the wrong folks to mess with.
Congress neither wants their wages reduced nor do they want any self-appointed numbskull to pry into their personal finances. However, I would guess it would be fair for congress to suggest Rick Perry take a pay cut as well. Actually both ideas are pretty good. Let’s do it!
