Republicans! What’s not to like?

PRINCETON, New Jersey (Reuters) – As Republicans scramble to find a strong candidate for the 2012 U.S. presidential contest, a group of Iowa Republicans met with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie on Tuesday to urge him to enter the race, despite his stated disinterest.

Half a dozen businessmen from Iowa, which holds the vital first nominating contest in the U.S. presidential race in February, met with Christie for about 2 1/2 hours over dinner at the governor’s mansion to discuss entering the contest.

Democrats must be worried about President Obama’s re-election in 2012 because they are already demonizing every, single, Republican candidate who appears.  And, they repeat the mantra that “there is no front-runner in the Republican party” and, “gosh, golly, gee, Obama is SUCH a likeable guy…..”.

Well, maybe Obama is a nice guy.  But, you know what?  There are a LOT of conservative politicians who are pretty likeable people, too.  There are a lot of voters who like Mitt Romney……..apparently $10,000,000 worth in Vegas.  Pawlenty is a conservative whom even the Democrats in Minnesota voted into office.  Then, there’s the effervescent Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman.  The Republican party is well stocked with likeable people.  And, if Chris Christie enters the race, that just adds to the glitter of the conservative candidates.

Personally, while I want to like my President even as I approve of his choices, likeability should not be the primary attribute of the President.  Experience, character, strong moral values, AND an appreciation for all that America stands for and the ability to defend our country should be more important.  I believe President Obama still lacks these qualities and is doing irreparable harm to our country and our children’s and grandchildren’s futures.  I believe that we need to elect a President in 2012 who is a strong leader with high moral values.

However,  if likeability is the main criteria, Republicans are well represented with Romney, Bachman, Pawlenty, Palin, Johnston, and maybe Chris Christie.  With all these candidates, and Obama’s abysmal record, what’s not to like in the Republican roster?


 

It’s the issues, Stupid!

Ah, yes, the good old days when the voting public actually studied the issues of the day.  Ah, the good old days when the media actually reported the news of the day, and not their biased view of current events.  And when you could discuss politics and the word “racist” never occurred!

Nowadays, unless you agree to vote for the Democratic nominee, you are considered racist.  Forget the fact that you like Senator McCain and Governor Palin for their personal standards of morality, their views on Iraq, or their views about protecting all Life.

Under the guise of political correctness, a new standard of racism has appeared and it is directly linked to the black community.  The liberal elite promote the notion that only whites can be racists, but that is absolutely not true.  In fact, anyone who accepts that “all” blacks will vote for Obama BECAUSE HE IS HALF BLACK is condoning such racism   Any honest person knows that there is virtually NO candidate who will garner 95%, or more, of a single constituency.  Yet, even the liberal media admits that blacks are expected to vote for Senator Obama almost exclusively.  And, almost every African American questioned  will deny that they are voting for the Democrat because he is half- black.   Oh, no.  The black community is in complete agreement with the issues presented by Senator Obama.

Well, that hypocricy was completely exposed by a simple series of interviews conducted by a radio station in Harlem.  When the station presented Senator McCain’s stance on issues, but pretended that these were Obama’s beliefs, the people questioned said they were quite happy with the issue!  So much for voting for the Democratic nominee because of his views!

Here is the proof, if you care to listen:

Perception is everything

I always laugh when someone tells me that by not voting for Senator Obama I am showing my racial bias.  He is black (well, half black) and I am white (well, a mixture of Scandinavian, English, French, German, and Menominee Indian).  No one seems to care that I originally liked Obama, but decided that his inexperience was far too great for the office of President.  And, as the campaign progressed, I see that he is not sticking to his promises and is trying to diminish past associations, if they hurt his campaign.   When I explain this, then I am told that I am responsible for all the problems that African Americans have encountered in America and must vote for Obama to even the score.  Actually, I wasn’t around when slavery was part of our social landscape.  And, my own grandparents experienced many hardships in coming to America from the Old Country with nothing except a small satchel of clothes!  Is someone going to recompense me for THEIR injuries?  I think not.

It is presumptuous for others to assume they know why any voter is choosing their favorite.  Blacks, we are told, are voting for the Democratic ticket because they want to see the black candidate win.  Isn’t that racist?

Women, we were told, came out in droves for Senator Clinton because they wanted to see a woman candidate win.  Isn’t that sexist?

Senator McCain has a proven record of sacrificing for the country — both in war and peace.  The complaint against him is that he is too old!  Isn’t that age discrimination?

Governor Palin has more executive experience than Senator Obama.  The complaint against her is that she is not only a woman, but a woman who is putting her career ahead of her family.  Isn’t that blatant discrimination?

I am voting for McCain/Palin.  My vote has nothing whatsoever to do with race, age, or gender.  It is based on my belief that they have the experience, good judgment, and even good character to run our country fairly and squarely.

Ladies, women, girls……….

Dear Ladies, women, and girls,

Have you noticed that the harshest, most hateful, most demeaning critiques of Governor Palin are coming from women?  Why is that?

The Democrats are seriously worried about Governor Palin’s appeal to women of all generations, and economic stature.   They are afraid that women might choose another woman, just because she is a woman!  Of course, when Geraldine Ferraro ran for VP, the Democrats found it liberating to have a woman on the ticket.  Well, now the Republican VP candidate is a woman and they are doing their best to reduce her to less than the well-qualified candidate that she is.

Anyway, what is wrong with the gender of a candidate being a consideration?  After all, it is uniformly agreed that one of Senator Obama’s main appeals is that he is black — well half black, although he never admits to the white half.

If it is not racist to choose a candidate based on his ethnicity, then it is not sexist to choose a woman, based on her gender.

So, ladies, go ahead and support Governor Palin.  Her election would be a boon for all our daughters and grand-daughters who will then understand that a woman truly can do anything she sets her mind to!

Why vote for McCain/Palin?

Why vote for Senator McCain and Governor Palin?

1 – Europeans favor the Democratic nominee!

2 – Gordon Brown, British Prime Minister, has come out in favor of the Democratic nominee.

If the Europeans are against McCain, it is because they know McCain will not give away America’s sovereign rights just to appease Europe!  McCain believes that  America is first, foremost, and always his first responsibility.  Europe wants a United States that they can control.  After all, Europe has a love/hate relationship with us.  They love us when we do what they want and say!  They hate us when they realize we are more generous or powerful than they are.

The best recommendation yet to vote for Senator McCain and Governor Palin is that Europe doesn’t want the Republicans to succeed!

Politicians and Babies

Leave a reply

Usually, babies and politicians mix quite well.  After all, who wouldn’t love a politician who loves (and usually kisses) every baby they meet?

The Democrats kiss as many babies as the Republicans, and you would think they love babies as much as anyone else….but, they are against babies in certain instances.  For example, Senator Obama feels no need to protect babies who survive an abortion!  It’s above his pay grade, he says.  And, most of the hierarchy in the Democratic party dismiss any baby not yet born as expendable.  After all, it’s a choice for the mother to make whether the baby gets to vote or not!

In the case of Governor Palin’s daughter who is expecting a baby, the Democrats again are using a baby as a politically useful tool, rather than as a human being.  Rather than congratulate the parents and grandparents, they hope to use the pregnancy to further their own agenda.  How sick.

It is a paradox that Democrats proclaim their love for humanity and yet are willing to arbitrarily kill the most vulnerable of human beings!  They fight vigorously to save a death-row inmate and yet don’t care when a baby is carved out of the womb.  So, when you see a politician kissing babies, just remember that only Republicans believe that EVERY baby is kissable and deserves a chance at the American dream. 

If the Democrats succeed to the White House, all babies in the womb are at risk because Democrats do not protect those up and coming citizens.  For the unborn, Democrats are the kiss of death!

CNN just doesn’t get it!

The big story on CNN tonight was not the RNC convention but  that Senator McCain refused an interview with Larry King after a reporter, Campbell, closely questioned Sarah Palin’s credentials.  The reporters pretended to not understand the backlash from the McCain camp.

The problem is not that Governor Palin’s credentials were being questioned.  As head of the Alaskan National Guard, she has as much experience as any other governor, including the Democrats’ favorite, President Clinton, had when he ran for President!  She certainly has more executive experience than either Obama or Biden. 

No, the problem was that these same questions were NEVER ASKED of Senator Obama who is the head of the Democratic ticket! 

If CNN wants to be truly apolitical, why don’t they challenge Obama’s credentials?  Why?  Because they know that, after serving a mere 182 days in the Senate (and who knows if he made all those sessions),  he has NO QUALIFICATIONS to be President.

CNN just doesn’t get it!
