Are you a Libertarian? Part 3

Filed under: FYI,Random Thoughts — Tags: , , — AWG @ 11:17 pm

OK I take it you read Part 1 and Part 2 … if not, go do that I’ll wait.

Oh you’ve read what we’ve covered so fer … but wait there’s more!

The USDA … what a waste of money! I’ve known of many USDA monitors slaughters houses that you couldn’t find a USDA agent with a magnifying glass. If the USDA is so great why do we still have issues with contaminated food? Here is the deal most place monitor their own production, especially the smaller local operations because one bad batch of product can destroy them and it is in their own self interest to keep the cleanest safest food possible. All the USDA does is drop mountains of rule, regulations and paperwork on the small production framer to the point they spend more time dealing with the government than tending their crops or herds. It should be up to the consumer to decide from whom they want to buy food and what they want to eat. Did you know that in some states the USDA says organic raw milk is safe and legal and you can carry the same USDA approved and certified gallon of milk across the border into another state and that same USDA will call it contaminated food unsafe for human consumption and have you pour it out… that kind of idiocy needs to stop. You are an adult and you can decide what you want to feed your family we do not need nanny staters running around telling us what’s best of us. I’ve got a mother and the US Government is not my mother. You hear me fat cow Moochelle?

As for Public Schools … did you know in some states we spend over $15,000.00 per year to educate a single kid and yet they still manage to leave school complete idiots? $15,000 per kid, insane! So what I would purpose is a school voucher for the amount of money spent on a student since those school taxes would likely still be a sad reality and you have school choice. I’d also bust up teachers unions and thin the herd of under-performing teachers. Schools with good teachers would be in higher demand than schools with poor teacher and those teachers would be weeded out of the system. We would also have a set and enforced standard to graduate … you know crazy stuff like being able to read and write and do basic math in your head. Crazy talk I know … but we have school that spend more on students every year than it cost to attend a 4 year college and they cannot produce top ranked students and that’s sad. Sweeping changes need to be made in the school system and it would piss a lot of teachers of, but so be it. Welcome to the real world.

Affirmative action – GONE and gone would be any laws that treated one group of people differently from another. You want a level planning field – will that’s it. Same rules for everyone regardless of race, sex, orientation or religion. You rise or fall, succeed or fail on your own merits and not based on the color of your skin or the gender you are, but in the crazy method of your skills and abilities.

RACE – American, that’s it … technically American not a race but you get the point. Hyphenated Americans will never be united Americans.

Abortions – personally I’m against abortion because it does not afford the father any rights (part of the Democrat War on Men) after all and there are more importantly plenty of people willing and able to raise a child. See if a women chooses to have a baby the father is financially responsible for that child and rightfully so, is a women chooses to have an abortion the father has no say what so ever… it’s a case of having your cake and eating it too and that’s wrong. I believe in choice as in you made a choice when you spread your legs, when you opted not to use birth control or not to use a condom … you have three shots of being pro-choice now you are out of choices, deal with it. Can you say PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY?

Overall libertarianism is common sense something that the other two major parties are missing … PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND COMMON SENSE and if you have those you might very well be on the road to Libertarianism.

Welcome.

Are you a Libertarian? Part 2

OK I take it you read Part 1 … if not, go do that I’ll wait.

I covered a few of the Libertarian basics as I see it, your views may vary.

The first thing we covered was PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY … so to refresh … you are responsible for your person.

Now assuming you read part 1 I’m not going over that again … we left off with the wage/price spiral with a real basic quick lesson on how that works. See I believe society will take care of those that cannot take care of themselves on a local level, it worked long before welfare and handouts it can work again if implemented. And equally society will give those that need a swift kick in the ass a swift kick in the ass as that too worked before. See hunger is a hell of a motivator. The world has is precious few people that are self-starters and the majority of people are follower that need someone to tell them to get up off there ass and do something. But the libtards are enabling people to never get up off there ass and we are currently spending about $60,000 a year per person on welfare … food, housing, medical, money, utility supplements et al and that is unsustainable. We can sustain it now and it’s only going to get worse when these slackers and taker are informed that the money has run out … which is why the Democrats are purposing yet another Budget with another trillion in tax increases, but I digress – that’s another post. By the way the Democrat Budget came out today and it increases spending 62% over the next decade … UNSUSTAINABLE!

So cut the cord and if people want to live on the government tit .. then put them to work picking up trash along the road, mowing parks and other public property, painting public property, fixing up government housing etc … see you accomplish two real big things. They do the work and we don’t have to pay government workers to do it and they learn a marketable skill and we don’t have to pay to have them trained – it’s win-win. No more government “retraining programs” and no more paying people to work on the houses of people setting on their ass – I think it’s a great idea and it’s mine!

Speaking of the budget and going off that one very small example of how to cut spending … I’d cut the size of government by a minimum of 50% … YES 50% through attrition -  see most of government is not needed. I’d get rid of about 90% of the IRS and go to a flat consumption tax. Granted there are still going to be some elements of taxation on some things from some areas and we’ll need a few agents for that of which would mostly large corporations dealing in international taxation. As far as Joe and Jane Citizen goes they’d be looking at a flat 15-18% consumption tax less food and medical with a much smaller tax on big ticket items like homes and automobiles. So before I get off on a rant on how to fix the current system that is the nutshell of my Libertarian System. you keep 100% of your paycheck but you pay about 17% on everything taxable you buy … no refunds and no tax bills at the end of the year. Everyone has skin in the game and the underground cash economy is taxed too.

You’d see debt reductions and money in the coffers starting right away.

Now on medical … geez that so-called best healthcare system in the world is the most screwed up healthcare system in the world … but the problem is with the consumer not taking ownership in their personal healthcare. People don’t care what something cost because they know their insurance will pay all of it but their $20 or $50 or whatever deductible per visit. Medicaid is abused by people taking their kids to the emergency room for sniffles. Doctor file fake claims on Medicare, hospitals jack base prices to offset what the insurance company will not pay and it goes on and on and on … how to fix it. Well speaking for myself and a health saving account that you start early in life and maintain it through out your life and even make it transferable to who ever you want when you die. Do away with insurance that pays for little sniffles and only have catastrophic coverage only insurance for those big bills like cancer, open heart surgery, kidney transplant, etc and all those little visits to the ER for sniffles comes out of your health saving account or your own pocket and I’d bet a dollar to donuts you wouldn’t see long lines at the hospital any more … it’s not as much fun to spend when it’s your money and if you have ownership in the cost you as the consumer will drive the price down. Again … it’s all about PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

I could go on a long tirade about how to fix medical care but applying free market principle to the process.

ENVIRONMENT … yep talking about you EPA. To listen to libtards they’ll tell you that anyone that isn’t a libtard wants dirty air and dirty water … well that’s a dirty lie, but unlike the liberals I’m not going to cut my nose off to spite my face. No one wants population but you can over regulate and the EPA reached a point a few decade ago where they stopped being useful and started being harmful and in order to justify their existence that kept coming up with more and more straw men to fight and regulate. I think it all started back in the big global cooking scare of the early 1970′s …. remember the earth was going into another ice age and half the plant was going to starve to death … didn’t happen. Then there was acid rain that was going to kill all the trees and we’d all die from no oxygen … didn’t happen. Then there was the hole in the ozone and we were all going to die from solar radiation … that didn’t happen and now it’s global warming and to listen to liberals the coastal cities would now be under water and again it’s not happening and it won’t happen. Man does not have that kind of power over the planet … it’s straw men all of them. So what next I wonder? I’m guessing a super volcano or mega-quake brought on by oil drilling and fracking because we hate our children. Anyway using a common sense approach to the environment is the way to go – do the very best you can to protect the environment, but realize no one ever made an omelet without breaking a few eggs. No one wants dirt air or dirty water or clear cut forest, but one no wants to set in the dark and and walk everywhere they go … facts are facts we are depending on oil products until we invent or find something else that is just the way it is… it doesn’t have to be that way for all times. Just understand that until some super clean truly renewable energy supply is available we’re going to have to use fossil fuels. As for me my money is on hydrogen power it comes from water and it’s waste product is water is there any wonder there is so much water on the earth? Makes sense to me …. wind and solar are cute but neither is practical or realistic for real energy production.

Well that’s ends part 2 .. coming soon PART 3

Are you a Libertarian? Part 1

Filed under: FYI,Politics,Random Thoughts — Tags: , , , , , — AWG @ 9:16 pm

I’ve long said I’m a Libertarian – oh I’ve got the crazy libs calling me a Repubtard or a NeoCon which just goes to show you how little research they do before they start throwing stones at me. So let me tell you now that in my opinion I’m a Libertarian and I was one for a long time before I knew I was one … so are you one too? Odds are you are more Libertarian than you think.

Now for the record I live in Kentucky … you know Rand Paul country and Rand represents the prevailing view of most Kentuckians, sadly most Kentuckians are Democrats even though they vote Republicans … old habits die hard. Anyway like Rand in Kentucky if you want to run for anything, vote for anything you have to be registered in one of the two major parties. See the GOP has many times introduced legislation for open elections but the libtards in the Democrat control House block it – I could go into a long list of reason why but in short it’s about party control as I think people would leave the Democrats in mass with open elections and most would call themselves “independents.”

Anyway …

What is a Libertarian? Well you could click that link and read about it on the Libertarian FAQ page. But I’ll tell you what it is to me.

The main belief to me is PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY – I will help those that cannot help themselves. the disabled, the infirm, the elderly, but I refuse to help the clueless and lazy. Screw them they’ll either starve or get up off their ass and find a job. See I believe government handout enable people to be lazy and why work when you can be paid to set on your butt? Self pride, like chivalry is dead for many people.

So let’s go down the list of some Libertarian beliefs …

First one that is often associated with Libertarians … DRUGS! The common belief is all Libertarians want all drug legal. Well this is not entirely correct and since I can’t speak for everyone I’ll speak for me – it all goes back to PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY – if you want to do drugs, then do it … BUT don’t come looking to me to bail you out, pay for your rehab, pay for your housing, pay for anything. It’s your life and if you screw it up it’s on you and you pay for your screw ups.

Well Dave… what about the children, the sweet innocent little children of these free wheeling crack whore druggies? Are you just going to let them starve and die in the street? (see you are a Republicans said in a Libtard voice) NO! NO! NO! But the solution is simple and full of common sense -  if you are not fit to raise yourself then you are not fit to raise your children and there are plenty of people that are willing and able to do it. If that wasn’t the case then we wouldn’t have so many adopted children from Asia or the former Soviet Union and Central and South America … seems to me there is a child shortage in the US among responsible want to be parents. Good gawd do we have to import our children too? I think not!

Other issues are the size of government … anti-Libertarians like Juan McLame, Lindsey Gramnasty and the rest of the Democrat Party will try to tell you that Libertarians do not want any government at all … none, zero, zip, nada. The Libertarians want anarchy – this too is untrue. Government is here of protect the country, build the interstate infrastructure and issue the most general of regulations and nothing close to the micro-manage regulation gigantic government we have today. General regulations like one person, one vote and take non-partisan measures to insure that. Protection like actually securing the boarder and if it pisses Mexico (and Canada) off – to damn bad. We put country first, not what other countries think first. I don’t care what other countries think we have problems at home that need to be dealt with and I really don’t care what China, Europe, Russia, Mexico or anyone else thinks about it.

Another misbelief is “isolationism” – many wold tell you (Juan McLame) that the Libertarian kids want to take out toys and go home, pull the blinds and close the door. This too is bullshit – we live in a global economy that we’ve let the world walk all over us for years. It’s time we bring jobs home and sell out stuff to them instead of our jobs going there just so we can buy them back. Libtards talk about a level playing field for all while they cripple our economy with burdensome regulation, taxation, rules and a overall government hostility to business. I say free up the market and let demand and desire rule the day … how you ask? No minimum wage … minimum wage is nothing but a detriment to the wage price spiral and anyone with a basic understanding gets that if you increase the baseline wage then the baseline price of goods with go out … since places like China and India do not have a baseline wage they can beat us all day long in the wholesale market. Now I don’t think we should hire workers at 50 cents a day slaving away for 18 hours a day in unhealthy conditions, but what I do think is that the market should set the price if someone is willing to work for $5.00 or $4.00 an hour or less then let them and if a employer can’t find people to work for those wages then they’ll have to pay more it’s called the free market. It’s simple economics and I don’t expect the libtards to understand it …

Well this is going to take more time and space than I thought so this is the end of Part 1 … stay tuned for Part 2 in a few days.

Sen. Rand Paul Defends Property Owners from Federal Agencies

Filed under: FYI — Tags: , , , , , , — AWG @ 10:19 pm

WRITTEN BY TOM DEWEESE 

U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has just introduced legislation designed to rein in out-of- control federal agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers. The bill, if enacted, will be a vital blow to the enforcement of radical environmental/Agenda 21- inspired regulations. The bill is called the Defense of Environment and Property Act of 2012 (S.2122).

A little history: in 1972, as the environmental movement was getting its start through popular efforts to stop pollution in our rivers and air, Congress passed the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (later called the Clean Water Act).The law prohibited the discharge of pollutants into “navigable waters” without a federal permit. The problems began when the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers made a power grab by enforcing the act over ponds, occasional mud puddles, and even dry lands by labeling them as wet lands.

The result has been disastrous to property owners and businesses, sometimes even leading to jail sentences to “violators.”

The result of such outrageous interpretations of the Clean Water Act has led Senator Paul to introduce his bill to do the following:

Redefine “navigable waters” to explicitly clarify that waters must actually be navigable in fact, or “permanent, standing, or continuously flowing bodies of water that form geographical features commonly known as streams, oceans, rivers and lakes that are connected to waters that are navigable — in fact.”

  • Excludes ephemeral or intermittent streams — the streams that sometimes form when rain falls — from federal jurisdiction.
  • Restrains the EPA and Army Corps from regulating or “interpreting” the definition of a navigable water without Congressional authorization.
  • Protects the rights of states to have primary authority over the land and water within their borders.
  • Prohibits federal agents from entering private property without the express consent of the landowner
  • Requires the government to pay double the value of the land to any landowner whose property value is diminished by a wetlands designation.

Why is it necessary to write such juvenile-sounding legislation to define what any reasonable person should already understand? Who doesn’t know what a river is? Apparently the EPA and Army Corps have little regard for such details as they zealously attack private property in the name of environmental protection. American citizens have been literally terrorized by these agencies and the consequences have been dire.

Some examples:

  • Florida resident Ocie Mills planned to build a dream house for his son. He brought in 19 loads of clean building sand, cleared a dry ditch and began filling the ditch with sand to level the ground for the foundation. The Army Corps of Engineers sent him a notice demanding he immediately stop the fill because they considered the property to be a wet land. The Florida Department of Environmental Regulations (DER) sent out an agent who determined that the land was not a wetlands. Ocie resumed dumping fill on the foundation site. The Army Corps disagreed and sent US Marshalls to arrest Ocie and his son. In a trial with no legal representation Ocie was not allowed to submit evidence that the DER did NOT consider his land a wetland. As a result a panel of three federal judges sentenced both Ocie and his son to 21 months in jail with no parole and a fine of $5,250 each. Six years later in a retrial a judge ruled that the land was not a wetlands.
  • John Pozgai served a three year prison term for violating the Clean Water Act on his property in Pennsylvania. His crime? Pozgai, a first generation immigrant who escaped communist Eastern Europe, bought property that was being used as an illegal dump. The dump contained a storm water drainage system and a storm water drainage ditch dating back to 1936. The township was responsible for maintaining the drainage ditch but failed to do so, and that failure caused flooding on the adjacent road and in the Pozgai home. It had done so for 20 years. When Pozgai bought the land he began to clean out thousands of dumped tires, many of which were blocking the storm water drainage ditch. The Army Corps of Engineers declared the standing water caused by the plugged drainage ditch to be a wetlands. John Pozgai, who survived the tyranny of communism, couldn’t beat the outrages of environmental zealots empowered with the force of government, which refuses to recognize private property rights.
  • Charlie Johnson’s family has been growing cranberries on his small farm near Carver, Massachusetts since the 1920s. The federal government prepared to take Johnson to court, claiming that many of the cranberry bogs were created in violation of the 1972 Clean Water Act. The EPA asked for permission to enter Johnson’s property to collect data. Johnson gave his approval, believing he had nothing to hide. He later discovered that the EPA wanted to return his land to wetlands under the assumption that wetland conditions existed on the property before Johnson’s cranberry bogs were constructed. He explained the bogs were originally constructed on dry sandy land that formerly contained a variety of forested uplands. The EPA based its theory on a number of small aerial photos taken during spring thaws when much of the land is underwater because of melting snow. If Johnson loses his case he will be forced to destroy his cranberry bogs and convert his property to artificial wetlands.

These are just a very few examples of the tyranny raining down on honest Americans who are simply trying to use their land and live in peace. When confronted by government officials they went to the “proper” authorities to assure they did the right thing. Many times they were misdirected by those very government agents and then trapped by it. Then they were fined, harassed and some went to jail for their “crimes.”

There is no room in a free society for such power-mad zealots in our government. Senator Paul’s bill is designed to bring a semblance of sanity and reason back to environmental regulations.

The EPA, Army Corps and other agencies of the government have been using the intimidation of government power to enforce the policies of Agenda 21 and Sustainable Development. These policies do not recognize private property rights and they have made a sham out of the rule of law and the court system, replacing it with rule by edict. Until now these outlaw agencies have terrorized American citizens without interference or control by their rightful masters — Congress.

However, little by little, in state legislatures and now in Congress, new legislation is being proposed to return sanity and control. Senator Paul’s Defense of Environment and Property Act is a start. It must be supported by everyone who professes allegiance to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. With such action, step by step, we can restore that Republic of our Founders. Call your Senators and demand they support S.2122.

Please support this bill and reign in government power.

Arguing with Liberals…

Paraphrased conversation with a crazy Eco-Vegan Ultra Liberal COEXIST friend of mine…

I’m leaving names and off topic stuff out… but you’ll get the point.

[START]

Ultra Lib: The government can tell churches to provide contraception.

AWG: Really? So much for separation of church huh?…

Ultra-Lib: It’s not the same thing?

AWG: Yes it is… you whine and cry every time there is a 10 Commandment or prayer is in a school or courthouse or anytime there is anything remotely Christian in government… but the second the government mandates to churches they provide products or services in conflict with their dogma which is a Constitutional violation you have no problem with it - hypocrite.

Ultra-Lid: It’s about women’s health why do you repubs hate women?

AWG: Oh please drop the MSNBC talking point propaganda it has nothing to do with women’s health and you know it. No one and no church is denying women contraception.

Ultra-Lib: It’s not talking points you repubs hate women… you want them to pay for it. It should be provided for free!

AWG: <– rolling his eyes try a new talking point… as for FREE give me a damn break there is one contraception that is free for all… keep you legs together. It’s not my job to provide squat to the slackers that will not provide for themselves how about you Mr Share the Wealth – I send you a few of my bills to pay that seem fair.

Ultra Lib: There is nothing wrong with providing women contraception and I’m not paying your bills!

AWG: Oh I see you want me to pay for someone elses life style but you won’t pay for mine! Got it… now no one is being denied contraception, the church just doesn’t want to pay for it as it violates their doctrine – how about we pass a law that requires you to buy beef?

Ultra Lib: That’s stupid I don’t eat beef you know that I’m against factory farming meat is gross

AWG: I don’t care you should buy it anyway just in case you have company that wants a burger – you should provide them the burger for free.

Ultra-Lib: It’s not the same thing its apples and oranges

AWG: More like meat and potatoes so  to say? You want the church to buy something they fundamentally disagree with, so why shouldn’t you be required to buy beef that you disagree with… you don’t have to eat it, just buy it.

Ultra-Lib: I told you it’s not the same thing you can’t equate the two they are different no one has to eat meat.

AWG: And no one has to take the pill – so explain the difference it’s a mandate you buy/provide something you do not believe in what the product is moot.

Ultr-Lib: I give up – I’m tired I’ve got to go

AWG: Run Forrest run…

Ultra-Lib: I’m not a retard you just don’t get it.

AWG: Oh I get it and I get that a Mr. PC libtard just said the word retard… you’re a racist.

Ultra-Lib: How is that racist? That’s not racist.

AWG: I’m taking the lib stance and not backing my claim, I’m just making the charge… you racist.

Ultra-Lib: I’m going now.

AWG: Later Gump enjoy your Klan rally.

Ulta-Lib: FU!

AWG: You wouldn’t like I’d just lay there.

Ulta-Lib: That’s what I’ve heard! CU later

AWG: Yeah through a sheet grand wizard.

Ultra-Lib: LOL bye.

AWG: L8R Gump

And then I posted this on their wall… and for the record I’ve know this libtard since childhood

Killing Awlaki – was it legal?

Filed under: FYI,Random Thoughts — Tags: , , , , , , — AWG @ 4:52 pm

Anwar al-Aulaqi needed a good killing that is a fact, but was the process constitutional?

Anwar al-Aulaqi, U.S.-born cleric linked to al-Qaeda, killed in Yemen

Anwar al-Aulaqi, a radical U.S.-born Muslim cleric and one of the most influential al-Qaeda leaders wanted by the United States, was killed Friday in a CIA drone strike in northern Yemen, U.S. and Yemeni authorities said, eliminating a prominent terrorist recruiter who inspired attacks on U.S. soil.

Now hear me out… the guy needed to go, no doubt about that. However, he was still a citizen of the US, he hadn’t renounced it and it can’t be revoked without due process and he was still afforded constitutional rights like it or not – now in my opinion if you commit terrorist acts against the United States you forfeit your constitutional rights, but that’s not the law. If you commit a treasonous act you are still receive due process of a trail by jury at which time a verdict is rendered.

So the patriotic part of me says ‘yeah he is dead’ but the Constitutional Libertarian part of me say hold on a damn minute that’s a violation of the constitution and due process and is a violation of the law. Ron Paul and Gary Johnson seem to agree…

Ron Paul, Gary Johnson Among Those Not Keen on U.S. Killing of Anwar al-Awlaki

Anwar al-Awlaki is dead; and on the occasion of the deliberate targeting and killing of an American citizen by the American government, former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson is less than excited about the precedent that may have been set.

“The protections under the Constitution for those accused of crimes do not just apply to people we like — they apply to everyone, including a terrorist like al-Awlaki. It is a question of due process for American citizens.

The rest of Johnson’s response here.

Texas Congressman and fellow GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul made lots more headlines when he dubbed the killing of terrorist friend and inciter Awlaki (and another American citizen) an assassination. In contrast with the other potential presidents besides Johnson, Paul thought this didn’t bode well for America, saying:

“No one knows if [Awlaki] killed anybody. We know he might have been associated with the ‘underwear bomber.’ But if the American people accept this blindly and casually that we now have an accepted practice of the president assassinating people who he thinks are bad guys. I think it’s sad.”

Paul pointed out how domestic terrorist Timothy McVeigh got a trial, appeals, and an execution, and said that’s what should have been done with Awlaki.

So it’s not DID Awlaki need killing, it’s a question of was it legal to do it in the manner in which it was done… if we as a nation toss out the rule of law to appease a objective then you have to ask where does it stop? What other laws can the government break to appease an objective? This time it’s killing the terrorist Awlaki next time it maybe your constitutional rights of free speech. Just because someone breaks the law doesn’t give you or the government the right to break the law to deliver justice. If Obama thinks you can just do what you need to do when ever you need to do where would it stop?

We have a constitution, it is a the law of the land and if you circumvent the law of the land to achieve a goal is that not criminal too?

Think about it.

The Debate and my quick take on it…

Well I watched the debate last night and here are a few of my thoughts, First I’m not endorsing anyone and no one is lighting my fire as of right now so I’ll list some of what I found wrong with each one…

Rick Perry – I have a serious problem with his position on immigration – I get it he has a butt load of illegals in Texas, but I don’t think giving them in state tuition is how you deal with it. Other things I generally like about him but his immigration policy will take him down more so than he Executive Order on the HPV immunization. I’m not all that sure he is going to stand up to the light of day – I liked him at first but he has some issues. I don’t have a problem with him being a former Democrat, hell I use to be a Democrat for years… nearly always voted Republican just took me a long time to change parties.

Mitt Romney – Aside from his albatross of RomneyCare… Mitt just seems too slick, too smooth he avoided the “Is Obama a Socialist?” question and for a guy that says he is not a life long politician that was a 100% political dodge on that question, I want questions answered and don’t give me the political run around. Most of the candidate pulled this political dodge trick at some point in during the debate so he is not the only one. I’m just not sure Romney is a conservative at hart.

Michelle Backmann – Bachmann has made to many incorrect statements in the course of this campaign for me to take her seriously, fact check, fact check, fact check Michelle it’s not that hard. She just doesn’t do it and pops off with out checking the facts. She didn’t get a lot of face time last night and she side nothing that got my attention… face it she is just boring and it’s hard to listen to her, kind of like Gary Johnson. I wouldn’t want to go camping with either one.

Gary Johnson – Besides stealing a joke from the Rush Limbaugh (actually I’d heard it else where before) he is as dry as mummy farts and between him and Ron Paul they are making Libertarians look like kooks. He repeatedly said he’d put a balanced budget into effect his first year in office by cutting spending 43%! I’d love to see that happen but good luck getting that past a spend happy congress.

Ron Paul – On domestic and financial issues Paul is generally on target, but on international affairs he is all over the board and I just think he would be a foreign policy disaster. American still has to big of a role on the international stage to withdraw into isolationism just like that – it would through the world into chaos. Paul has a lot of very loyal Paulie that are as obsessed with him as the Palinistas are for her.

Herman Cain – his 9-9-9 plan sounds interesting but I’d have to see the numbers on it before I signed onto it and running a pizza chain is a bit different from running a country and I’m not sure the $9.99 gimmick will work. I think is in the same place as Paul on foreign policy just doesn’t know enough… I’d stack my foreign policy knowledge against his any day. I like Cain he has some good idea.

Jon Huntsman – Anyone the liberals keep talking about as a good choice or the person Obama should be afraid of I get a red flag and like Johnson he is so low in the polls I pay little attention to him… really can you trust a guy that worked for Obama as Ambassador to China? I do like some of his ideas on healthcare but that’s about it.

Rick Santorum – I am sorry I’ve never liked Santorum, if you support him then tell me why – because I tune him out. I couldn’t tell you one thing he said last night. He just annoys me.

Newt Gingrich – What can you say about Newt that hasn’t been said? His presidential ship sailed long ago. Newt is smart, he is quick on his mental feet and he has a vast wealth of knowledge – but Newt is a old school establishment republican that will say what ever he thinks you want to hear. He knows how to fire up the folks but can he be trusted? I don’t know, I’d have to ask his ex-wife.

A lot of folks are still talking about Christi and Palin… well shit or get off the pot. I don’t think Christi is going to run and Palin is playing this maybe I will, maybe I wont game and folk that aren’t Palinistas are growing tired of it.. Sarah you are either in or your out make up your damn mind… in or out?

So there you have it… no one right now is setting my world on fire. I will tell you this, I will vote and it will not be for Obama.
