The Myriad of Events

First, I should apologize, for waiting so long to post another entry. I suppose I was thinking the venture was too trying in light of large democratic turnouts when compared to the republican numbers. I began to get excited, however, when the New York 'liberal' Post was stupid enough to try and attack Mcain, not only with unnamed source but unnamed sources that fall far short of actually communicating anything. It is equivalent to saying, "an unknown individual who might be close the the Mcain camp may have said that there could be an appearance of impropriety between Mcain and a lobbyist, if this unknown individual remembers correctly." It is the kind of blatant bias that just might get conservatives, not unlike myself, more reason to support Mcain.
Then you have the War banter going back and forth between Obama and Mcain. Obama revealed his ignorance to the presence of Al Queda in Iraq and began to show weakness in foreign policy, where Mcain excels. I can picture Obama and Mcain debates now, where Mcain can say I know War better than anybody, I have been in it, I was a Prisoner of War, I refused to leave the POW camp without my "band of brothers." Obama will continue to say the war was a mistake that he was always against while Mcain will be able to say I was for it at the beginning, I was for fixing it when it was bad, and for it still when it is working!!!! So the only thing we have to prove is that the troop surge is working to the public at large which are slow to pick up the news out of Iraq, (maybe media bias again?).
I think the deep dark secret that is the success of the current Troop Surge is beginning to be revealed, as Democrats are scrambling to lock up that little secret for a bit longer for political points, after all how can the Dems possibly say, with any credibility, that maybe now the war isn't as bad as I thought. How do I know the Troop Surge is beginning to gain traction?.......Because if a Hollywood Starlet and special Goodwill Ambassador to the U.N. can admit it is going good than it really must be........That is right Angelina Jolie is cited in an article in the Washington Post explaining that the Troop Surge is providing opportunities for humanitarian programs to help refugees that did not previously exist. Translation.....it is getting safer and safer to be in Iraq, fewer civilians and U.S. troops are dying and Democracy is growing, albeit slowly, it is growing.
If the Troop Surge successes persist sooner or later even the liberal media outlets may have to start admitting it, but lets be honest, they are not going to be quick to do that, so "we the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union..." must press the issue in our daily conversations, in e-mails to media outlets, on our blogs, e-mails to our congressmen, and especially in e-mails to media outlets that may be presenting debate questions from e-mailers to the democratic candidates. ......Let's Roll!

Mild Depression

Yes, I have been sulking since Romney withdrew, but I am optimistic about his political future. His drop out speech in front of CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) was one of his best, and his withdrawal - Noble. The political buzz in the Republican party is that he has set himself as the leader of the Republican party and is the front runner for the next good presidential opportunity whether that be in 2012 or 2016. A survey of people leaving CPAC declared regret by Republicans for not jumping on the Romney bandwagon a while ago. Many were hesitant because of his past, but forsaken liberal stance on abortion, and some because of his Mormonism. That regret equals a unified front next go around. The only thing Romney needs to do until then is stay in the limelight by making good news and campaigning for fellow conservatives.
Now, many of you are still saying you cannot vote for Mcain. Make no mistake about it, I am not a Mcain fan!!! BUT if you are thinking you will stay home, vote for a democrat, or write in someone else you are not thinking straight or do not realize the alternative (See my Blog "Mcain Haters"). Mcain's strong suits are reason enough to vote for him.

1) Winning in Iraq, the troop surge is working and Iraqis are finally taking some control of their destiny, which took longer than expected, but they have been forced to be followers their whole life, should we expect them to change overnight. Any alternative (Obama or Clinton) to Mcain spells rapid pullout of Iraq, which would be unfair to the Iraqi people. Where is your compassion?
2) Mcain has been beating the drum for a line item veto in order to prevent arbitrary and costly last minute additions to bills passed through congress. I believe he can make a huge first step to curbing spending in Washington D.C.

He may not be perfect, but these two reasons are reason enough to vote for Mcain versus the socialist leftist options, additionally Mcain has promised to appoint conservatives to the bench. So I say with Hail to the Chief for Mcain despite my lack of enthusiasm.

Not so super Tuesday

Super Tuesday rushed by without the long drawn out nail-bitting for all of the California vote to come in, why? because it was over too quick. It was not supposed to be like this. Romney's momentum was to be gained by wins in West Virginia, close finishes and possible victories in Georgia, Missouri, and California. West Virginia was stolen from him by shifty Mcain delagates switching to Huckabee in order to block Romney only to create another monster by installing a false confidence in Huchabee's camp. Missouri, Georgia, as well as some if not all of the Huckabee wins would have been Romney's and Mitt would be in striking distance of Mcain if it were not for Huckabee.
Why?
It is all personal!
I am not sure if Hucabee and Mcain have a pact together or not. I don't think Mike Huckabee needs an alliance to motivate himself to block Romney. Huckabee is a southern baptist and has a religiously determined hatred for Mormonism that is often taught officially by southern baptists. This was evident in the first jab in the New York Times by Huckabee intimating that Mormons believe Satan and Christ were brothers in a misleading and over simplistic view of Mormon Doctrines often regurgitated by Southern Baptists. I might remind Huckabee that his assertions were before the attack ads of Iowa. Hmmm, Who struck first?
Conservatives need to realize that there party is being hijacked by a liberal leaning Mcain and supported by pure archaic bigotry from someone who is willing to sell out his party's beliefs and sacrifice them at an alter of pure hatred. If true conservatives can see this, they should respond and reject the Huckabee push and rebuke him. They should contact Huckabee's camp and rebuke them, you can find their contact information at www.mikehuckabee.com.
If there is any hope of having a conservative win the oval office, then Mitt Romney needs to pretty much sweep the next few states and somehow force Huckabee out while gaining a near revolutionary amount of momentum.
The more likely scenario is for him to try to gain some momentum and solidify his spot as a voice for conservatism and spend time the next few years cementing a greater grassroots support system (where Huckabee has done well) and create himself as the spokesperson of the Republican Party and the frontrunner for the next nomination when conservatives should be motivated and even upset at years of liberalism running a muck whether by Democrats or by the lefty's of the republican party, even though they may only have themselves to blame.
