I have been watching the GOP debates, and watching the news media's reaction to them for a while now. Hasn't the GOP turned into the Grand Liberal Party? Who do voters think they are voting for? Take Mitt Romney, for example. On MSNBC and CBS, they portray Romney as being the best candidate for the job. The reason they believe in him, is that he is one of the liberal leaning candidates of the lot.
The GOP has been hijacked, by these fence jumpers that so call themselves conservatives. These candidates are; Ron Paul, John Huntsman, Mitt Romney, and in some ideals Rick Perry. Even more discerning is the issue that I take with voters. I am a voter from Iowa. It saddened me to see how many voters were making decision based on looks, and tagging along with what was being considered the popular vote. We should have competency tests for people who blindly vote. Many do not even know what the candidates truly stand for. It sickens my stomach to see a snake oil salesman like Romney, con the buffoons into voting for him.
If you watched the debates you will see exactly what I am talking about. He never goes into detail, he dodges tough questions and keeps re-iterating his punchlines. How can people not realize this man will not hold up in a debate, even against the unpopular Obama? I am going to make a bold statement in this article. If he gets elected, the GOP will lose to Obama, end of story. The key is whoever we elect has to make Obama look like the weak president he is.
There is only one candidate that I have seen in the debates, that has the knowledge, the great speeches, and who will show his true conservatism. His name is Newt Gingrich. First thing that comes to mind may be all of his baggage. As we have seen throughout the months, every candidate carries some sort of baggage. Newt however accepts his past and is willing to move forward. It doesn't get any better than that. The man makes all the other candidates look like dwarfs up there. I just don't understand how people see it another way.
In a debate with Obama, he is clearly the only candidate that has the gun-power to take him down, and clean up the mess from the past two presidencies. He has been there and done that from the Reagan administration, through the Clinton years. No other candidate can say with truth in their eye's, that they have done that. I voted for him in Iowa, and I would vote for him again. I am done going with flavors of the month, or along with the populis sheep. We need to start voting for candidates with great ideas and knowledge, not another Obama.
