Something to be proud of
With the Super Tuesday primary taking place tomorrow, a good many of you may be going to the polls in your state to select your candidate for the nations highest office. This years election season,which for some has been going on for over five years, is nothing to write home about. Have we learned anything about what these individuals will do to enhance America. Some American's are getting rather tired of all of the name calling and finger pointing, the endless bashing of the "other candidate" without any regard as to one's party just as long as they achieve the desired outcome. And one can hardly wait until the general election too see just how low we have gone as a people and the never ending quest for greed. Back in the day , as they say, American's would never stoop to telling outright lies. Once upon a time, there was something called honor, a principal that would govern how one would act and be judged accordingly. Today we have four candidates in the Republican party, each one of them telling America that they should be the choice for the partys nominee. Lets take a look at these individuals. The front runner Willard "Mit" Romney has earned a fortune with what some would call unethical practices. While being totally legal some would question as to the morality in his decision making process, putting the dollar (and the never ending quest for it )above of all other concerns. It's just business. There are winners and there are losers. Next we have Rick Santorum. Rick spent some time in Senate before being subject to a loss, sending him into the private sector. His religious views are strong and heart felt as is his commitment to family, and his desire to bring something that was lost back, to the American way of life. His desire although is not grounded in the reality of today. Sure it would be wonderful if both parents did not need to go to work each day, leaving the children to raise themselves, once they come home from school. But once again the quest for the almighty dollar , has made it a necessity for any family to be able to make it in todays world. Then you throw in a lay off or plant closing , due to the business practices of todays world and the destruction of the family is now complete. Home losses and stress due to the practices of those in charge have left very little room for the Ozzy and Harriet leave it to Beaver days of yore. Government in your bedroom, Please don't. In the third spot, Newt Gingrich fills this spot loosely. Sure he was the Speaker of the House back, before being asked to resign in the wake of unethical and unsound practices. He never accepted any guilt for any of his wrong doings , although he did pay sanctions of $300,000.00 dollars as a result.In leaving he did leave his fellow House member with a speech about how self important this man really thinks he is. "I'm willing to lead but I am not willing to preside over people who are cannibals. My only fear would be that if I tried to stay, it would just overshadow whoever my sucessor is" Lastly Ron Paul What can you say about him . The main stream press won't give him the time of day , but do they really owe him anything. End the fed , end the wars bring home all troops,quit giving aid to countries that hate us take care of your own, not really bad ideas but sadly they are not things that Washington wants to talk about. Good luck
