…Ron Paul.
His isolationist foreign policy scares me, but he’ll need Congress’ action to do most of what he wants…and he won’t get it. I can’t bring myself to vote for Mitt “Flip-Flop” Romney, Newt “The MasterDebator” Gingrich, or Rick “Jesus Freak” Santorum.

So true, so true.

First off, I’d like to say hello to the Department of Homeland Security official that may be reading this. *waves* Yes I am not happy with our government right now, but no I don’t want to commit any acts of violence against our government, or government officials, or support any such person who may want to (or does) commit acts of violence. Now that we have that disclaimer out of the way, on to the post.
Has anyone noticed how in depth the United States Government has become when peering into our personal thoughts and feelings? It is like McCarthyism all over again, but this time instead of looking for Communists, they’re looking for Conservatives. It started with listing the Tea Party as a potential terrorist organization, and now its come down to spying on its citizens? Thanks George Bush for starting this fiasco.
I am unabashedly conservative. I believe in very limited government, limited taxes, more individual rights, and a strong military. If that makes me a domestic terrorist, or a threat to the United Socialist States of America that the Obama administration is pushing for, then so be it. However, I vow never to initiate any acts of violence towards this great nation unless attacked first by our current government.
*waves* By Department of Homeland Security representative that reads this, I’m sure you know where to find me.

So Romney, yes he is wealthier than Obama and Biden combined, gave a larger percentage of his income to charity. However, you know as well as I do, Obama and Biden really pay for next to nothing as President and Vice President. Joe Biden gave a whole $369…I gave close to $2,000 last year.

Mitt Romney - Why are people criticizing him for being rich? He ran a very successful company and became wealthy, isn’t that the American Dream? Becoming successful is the very reason people try to immigrate to this country every day. That being said, I don’t like him because he can’t seem to decide what he believes in. The only good thing about the flip-flopper is that he might flip to the conservative side of the issues…but I’m not willing, right now, to put a vote towards “might.” He could beat Obama.
Newt Gingrich - He’s the best debater and would flat out embarrass Obama in a presidential debate. That would be great with a true conservative candidate, which I don’t believe Gingrich is a true conservative. When you look into his past politically, he’s more progressive than conservative. He’s this year’s John McCain. Now onto his personal situation, cheating on your wife once with someone you’re going to marry is one thing. Doing it a second time, that shows poor character. He could most likely beat Obama (mainly due to his debate skills).
Rick Santorum - He took Michelle Bachman’s evangelical votes when she dropped out. He’s a true conservative in every aspect, even the bad ones. His views on social issues is a huge turn-off to many voters. He has a pretty decent economic and foreign policy. His ultra-conservative social views will make the moderates and libertarians flock to Obama or write in Ron Paul. He will not beat Obama.
Ron Paul - I like Ron Paul, except for his dangerous isolationist foreign policy. He constantly comes off as the “crazy old man,” but his biggest downfall are his cult-like followers. Ron Paul’s hardcore followers are just flat out nuts who won’t listen to other viable options. They worship Ron Paul as a god and take everything he says as the “word.” If you present an opposing point of view, you’re criticized and yelled at. Ron Paul WILL NOT beat Obama and when he does not receive the nomination, his followers will be pivotal in getting Obama reelected by writing his name in the ballot box.

This is Bush’s fault right?

Wow, doesn’t Adam Corolla hit the nail on the head with this rant! Occutards, take a serious look at yourself and see if this applies to you, which I bet it does.

Now if this story doesn’t piss you off, nothing will. This lady has 15 kids, 3 baby’s daddies, and the tax payers have been paying her rent, paying for her food, and giving her toys and clothes. Quote of the story, “Somebody’s gonna have to pay for all my kids.”
Now this is not unique, well maybe the 15 kids part. I have encountered hundreds of people just like her in my community though my line of work. She is not alone in thinking someone else should be taking care of her kids instead of herself. I almost wish we could forcefully tie her tubes…but then again, its only mostly her fault….read my previous blogs.

Just a little political humor from The Onion…but so, so true.

A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.Alexander Tyler (1787)
