Krauthammer's December 1 "OP ED" nails it.

I listen to what Charles Krauthammer says on FoxNews, and I read his editorials. Mr. Krauthammer is a very smart man. He should be. He's got more degrees than a thermometer, plus other assorted titles, like... 'doctor'. His education was won at a time when being educated actually had value and meant something. Not like now, with phony degrees being 'sold' to phony students.

But I digress. In his December 1 column (you can go to 'THE DRUDGE REPORT" and scroll down to the contributor's links and click on his name) Krauthammer details the 'problems' that the Republican voters are being faced with while selecting "their" candidate, their 'gladiator', to fight Obama and what appears to be the rest of the world (opinion, though that's changing).

To sum up Krauthammer, we are being forced to choose one of two much flawed conservative candidates.

For me, the Krauthammer article was enlightening. I always defined myself as a Conservative, but do not consider myself a far right wing Conservative. Jokers like Carter and Obama have forced me further to the right due to their psychotic terms in office,  but I feel more comfortable being between the 20 and 50' Conservative 'yard lines', so to speak.

Krauthammer's article nudged me closer to Romney, but I have to say: Somebody needs to grab that guy by the shirt collars and shake him up. Romney has to drop the arrogance of defending his past. It's simple. Since Romney CHOSE to run as a Republican, he has to loudly remove himself from his past. I won't even add "mistakes". Romney's past catered to centrist and liberal voters in a centrist/liberal part of the country. OK, we know that. Now we must hear that 'OOPS" directly from Romney. Hopefully we all change over time. Romney can take charge by putting his past on the table, showing how and why he 'changed' into a more conservative person, define his conservatism, maybe saying his conservative beliefs lie around the proverbial right wing '30 yard line'. He can act flustered about the constant assault on his past, but he must counter with his positive conservative solutions for our future. At the very least, he'd be diffusing all the political left-wing nut rhetoric against him.

Romney must begin sounding presidential. He's running out of time. When he snipes at journalists like Brett Baier, who is only trying to help Romney over this "past" hump, he looks more like Obama, arrogant to a fault, than a Conservative candidate for the United States presidency.

If Romney remains to arrogant or self-contained to get real with his conservative voting base, I'm for choosing Rick Santorum. He may look like a book-worm, but he's more gladiator inside that either Newt or Mitt.

RINOs Simply Do Not Get It

Mitt Romney is reported to be raking in the big bucks for his election. Where is that money coming from? RINOs!

Remember when I wrote about the 'class separation' often touted by liberal politicians? They constantly harp about '...the class warfare between rich and poor, the haves and the have nots...'. Funny statements coming from the LPs who are all life members of both groups: the 'rich' and the 'have's'.

No, the real 'class warfare is between the politicians and Conservative American voters. Liberal politicians shout loudly, but only to deafen and cajole voters into believing their lies and misstatements. The media calls it 'spin' and real estate agents call it 'puffery'. The rest of us label liberal statements what they really are...lying, misleading, twisting the truth, cheating....

Why is Romney raking in so much cash. The truth is that RINO republicans don't want to change the way things are done in Washington, D.C. They like being able to buy off politicians to achieve their short term goals. They like owning those politicians...their pet lawmakers. And those lawmakers, including RINOs? They simply love those perks, the envelopes filled with cash, the free rides on corporate jets, the golf club memberships, vacations, etc. etc, ad nauseam They are supposed to report all that graft, but one only has to look back as far as Charlie Rangle to see that the corruption continues today. Why give those kinds of perks up?!

So, we voters get another do nothing, bought politician, RINO shoved down our throats. I believe that behind closed doors, Romney has promised the RINO party big shots that if he was elected, then beltway life would be politics as usual under his watch. Why else would the money be flowing toward Romney? We all know he has always been a democrat at heart Look at his failed universal health care program. It still doesn't work. It's bankrupting Massachusetts, Romney is still backing it. Knowing that this is what jerks like Steele wants to shove down our throats should terrify Conservative American voters.

I will not vote for Romney. I will join Independents and vote for an independent (independent from good-old-boy beltway politics) candidate, or for a Libertarian candidate. Speaking of Libertarian candidates, I do not agree with 50% of what Ron Paul preaches, but at least he's consistent in his support of American freedoms and values; he's against big Federal government; and he wants states to sink or swim on their own (bye, bye, NY, IL, CA, WA, etc). Paul is against bailouts and raising the national debt. He's against excessive government spending. I disagree with his isolationism, however, for reasons I will discuss in later posts.

Would I rather vote for a non-RINO, Conservative like Bachmann, Perry, Palin, Pawletty, Cain, etc.? YOU BET YOUR EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE I WOULD!! But I wouldn't vote for a liberal like Romney.

Conservatives have two fights to win: 1) Eliminating RINOs from the Republican Party, and 2) completely eliminating LP influence in America. Not to 'dominate'! No. Conservatives don't do that. They tried once under Gingrich and look at the media heyday those antics caused. Conservatives have to win on both issues in order to restore American values to this country...to make our streets safe...to provide jobs for Americans, not cheap, illegal labor...to restore integrity to our horribly managed education system...to eliminate 90 percent of an overstuffed tax code...to eliminate all unions and union thugs and to make every state a 'right to work' state which should have already been a Constitutional Amendment.

As Herman Cain said over the weekend: (paraphrased) Government's job is to keep things fair in America...to watch over America's interests and to defend America from attacks both here and from abroad.

Conservatives in America, that includes middle of the road Liberals who must be retching at what's happening to their party, Independents who fancy themselves above the left/right political mess, and true, non-radical Conservatives and Independents (see early posts for definition), must unite to bring in a solid, conservative candidate to the Republican Convention, and excise the cancer that has taken over Washington, D.C. politics. I've said this before...we must have a conservative, not radical, WARRIOR as Conservative candidate for President.

GOD BLESS AMERICA...GOD SAVE AMERICA!

Two less Republican candidates to choose from...

I was never enamoured with Mitt Romney, nor am I much of a fan of Newt Gingrich. Hmmm "Mitt", "Newt"? Maybe I simply do not like candidates for the very serious office of President of The United States of America (POTUS) who were saddled with the names of a baseball implement or an ugly reptile.

After much thought (hurts, sometimes), I reached the conclusion that, no, that's not why neither should be a candidate for POTUS. Both are old time, narcisisstic politicians. The kinds of jerks we conservatives want to drive out of Washington. Of the two, Newt is more intellectual, while Mitt has far more business experience. But, they are "old guard".

The good news is that two more quasi conservative jerks have been crossed off my favorites list. When Newt came out with his assinine comments about mandated health care he removed himself from practical consideration by Conservative Americans. The liberals will just call him an Obama wanna-be, and conservatives will think he's had a stroke. Either way, Newt's reverted back to type as being part of the problem, not part of the solution. That, if I remember correctly, was why he was knocked out of politics in the past.

Nope, Conservatives are still looking for that magic bullet. The one person, or team that can soundly defeat that Hitler wanna-be we currently have dirtying up the White House. I keep praying that our younger generation will wake up and realize that they have been the victims of non-stop brain washing since they entered our socialist/communist education system. WHEN they wake up, if it's not too late, America will have real change, back to sound fundamental (not fundamentalist) principles. Do I hope for that conversion? Not in the short term. Too much drinking, drugging and video gaming continues to dull once creative minds.

Those teachers who instill our children with these communistic ideas should be hunted down, tried for treason, and hanged. The damage they continue to do will kill this country, and we do not have that much time to correct these problems.
