Just a cotton picking minute, a bonus post

Here we are again, the elections are approaching and the liberal media and establishment Republicans are picking our candidates again. Herman Cain is gone and I am sorry for it. I liked Cain’s economic plan, I liked his view of America, of over regulation and respect for what should be the constitutional limits of the Presidency. I think his story was inspiring and he threatened the liberal hold on the black vote. Most importantly his 9-9-9 plan would have ended the Marxist progressive tax code. Rather all this overcame his shortcomings on foreign policy would have, should have been decided by the voters, it was not, the media decided he had to go. Still I have to lay some blame at Mr. Cain’s door because his poll numbers were still relatively good considering and he might still have been competitive and even won. We’ll never know, will we?

Now Newt is popular and here comes the attack machine at him. I have serious reservations as to rather Newt is a true conservative or just a savvy political insider, however this repetitive refrain of we are all going to die if Romney is not the nominee is getting old. We are letting the media choose our candidates.

Don’t agree? Michelle Bachman is a fine representative, in fact she is historically good, she is Daniel Webster type good. She has held the line on issue after issue; she fought against Obama-care to the bitter end, she is strongly pro-life and she is as knowledgeable and well spoken as any elected Republican since the great Ronald Reagan, yet we will let the media tell us she’s a ditz, oh sure you say, I don’t think she’s a ditz but “people” do so we better not vote for her! The moderates will run away if we vote for her or any conservative for that matter! They would much rather vote for a extreme leftist stateist president who is crushing the economy with regulation and taxes and spending the fortunes of generations yet unborn. Yes the reasonable sensible intelligent independents will surely choose that position unless we have Romney.

Yes these are the same voters who flocked to the Tea party in droves in 2010. The same independents that Obama shows the biggest losses in: yep, nominate a conservative and kiss them goodbye.

One of the things I’ve been trying to do with this blog is to critically analyze our candidates position by position. I am certainly not a big time media figure however I see few others doing this, I see them trying to make it about personalities and gaffes and their version of electability  if you want Newt God bless you, if you want Mitt the same, but right now not one vote has been cast not one decision made, if you like Bachman support her, Santorum Perry or Paul the same, but do it because you believe they are the best!

Do not let the establishment and the media force feed us another Mcain.

This is a bonus, this weekend we’ll be back to business and complete our look at foreign policy.

Until then
