Political Short Cuts

Political Short Cuts are my personal comments about current politics, nothing more.

1) Regarding Romney's flip flopping. First, I haven't made up my mind about my vote for a Republican candidate to take on Obama. I remain firm in my support of "Santormney". Either candidate would appear make a good president, but right now, Republicans are conflicted as to which candidate can defeat Obama. I say either one, but neither has come forward as THE ONE who can best represent the conservative Republican base in debates against Obama. All we see right now is a huge, vicious dog fight among Republican candidates. It's like watching a winning team fight amongst itself along the sidelines DURING THE SUPERBOWL! What the Heck!?

OK. Back to Romney flip-flopping...All I can say is that you must remember that Reagan flip-flopped in his early years, back and forth between being a moderate liberal and moderate conservative before settling down as a true conservative Republican. When Reagan ran for the presidency, our own "the Newt" hated Reagan! So for me, the jury is still out. Romney hasn't connected with me as I want him to, but neither has Santorum, not all the way. These candidates must explain their vision for America's future well enough to garner support from both moderate and conservative Republicans, as well as from key independents. But let's face reality, the time is coming....soon....when we will enter a booth and pull a lever, push a button, punch out a chad. We WILL have to make a choice. Voters must urge on their favorites. "Come on Mitt!"; "Come on Rick!"; "On Dasher, and Prancer......" Please urge them and their "super pacs" to tone down the vicious attack ads and to focus on our future!

When Reagan ran the first time, history tells us that many "Republicans" held their collective breath when they voted for him. To those 'undecided voters' Regan was a dark horse. Could he be trusted? Well, history says.....Oh, Yeah!

All I can say about this election is that the only candidate that is selling himself well to Republicans is another Obama...a slick talking, snake oil salesman with a dark history...and just like with Obama, "The Newt" knows that "a sucker is born every minute". Don't get sucked in to that two legged, fast talking mess. That's my personal opinion. "The Newt" would have been a formidable opponent had he not loaded his train with so much baggage. He, too, is a flip-flopper. But "The Newt" is an angry flip-flopper, more like our current extremist-in-chief, "Osama" Obama. If he in fact IS a  true conservative, and that vote is still out, he'd make an excellent teacher, nullifying much far-left wing corruption that college students receive.

2) Regarding the Keystone Oil Pipeline: I guess I'd have to go back to my football analogy. This time, however, It's the OTHER team, and it's the coaches fighting over who's the best coach, at a time when their team is  being crushed by the opposition. The coaches? Why they are "The Barrack" and "The Hillary", two far left wing, Socialist/Marxist dictator wanna-be's. Think not. Hear what Texas Representative Joe Barton told Assistant Secretary of State Kerri-Ann Jones at a recent meeting:
“Well, we fought and won World War II in less time than it’s taken so far to evaluate this project,” Barton said. “I mean, with all due respect, it is an insult to the American people to say that you need more time.


“There are 10 other agencies that have reviewed this project and – correct me if I’m wrong, but my understanding is that the Corps of Engineers approved it, the Department of Agriculture approved it, the Department of Interior approved it, the Department of Transportation approved it, the Environmental Protection Agency – believe it or not – approved it, the Defense Department approved it; the Justice Department approved it, the Homeland Security Department approved it and the Department of Commerce approved it. Only the State Department, which I believe, by law is required to look at the International implications since its trans-Canada -- only the State Department did not approve it.”

The above, if for no other reason (and there are plenty of reasons) is why "The Hillary" should never, ever, be president, and why "The Barrack" should go away....hopefully today. These two insane morons have no commitment to 'America the Great' what-so-ever.
 
An aside: It is true that "The Barrack" wanted the words "Hail to the Chief" changed to "Hail Ceasar!". I am all for that change only if it occurs immediately prior to March 15th!

Let's face it, we're never going to get a perfect candidate, but anyone is better than Obama. Unfortunately, there are many still under O's spell. I had lunch the other day with an old friend who is an Obama drone. He said that the Obama's were the most intelligent people to ever live in the White House, everyone should vote- even the uninformed, and he would vote for Obama even if unemployment went to 11 percent. Of course, his favorite "news" station is MSNBC.
