I am amazed at what is going on in the Republican Primary.
We are pretty much down to two candidates, or as Mitt Romney would say “it has always been about two candidates, him and the latest flavor”, in this case Rick Santorum.
Now let’s look at both and what they have said recently: with Romney it’s very simple, he will say and take any position that suits him at the time. The interesting thing is the pay attention to what he says when he’s not repeating his memorized lines. In his recent speech in Michigan he said that Michigan felt good, that the trees were the right height, the he loved lakes, not just the great lakes, but also the small lakes, that he loves cars. I am positive that if I give that speech to scrutinize to a teenager they would be in shock that a 50 or 60 year old man who’s running for president could say childish things like these. The scary thing is that he could be the next president of the United States. He has not been able to define himself as somebody who can move this country forward.
Rick Santorum on the other hand has said that he wants to ban not only abortions but contraception. Just that alone makes him totally unelectable. Now he has started to question President Obama’s faith.
He was also comparing the president to Adolf Hitler. This is appalling. He should be ashamed of himself.
And I will include Newt Gingrich, even though I don’t see him as a contender any longer. Mr. Gingrich said on Monday that: “Barack Obama is the most dangerous president in modern American history. This administration has intellectually disarmed, it is morally disarmed, it is incapable of describing what threatens us. The president wants to unilaterally weaken United States. He wants to cut the aid to Israel for its anti-ballistic missile defense; he refuses to take Iran seriously. We are in a world that is very dangerous, and I say this to those of you who represent the next generation because you are going to bear the consequences. We are really at risk some day in your lifetime of losing an American city”.
He is saying that in the campaign, he has said that on TV to Hannity. Not only is he showing desperation because he will never be the candidate, but he is smearing everybody. He’s done that to Romney, now he is trying to use fear mongering with the fringe of the Republican Party.
The Party is desperate to elect somebody who can win, and they will do and go to extremes for that. In Main they pulled off another fraud like they did in Florida in 2000 with the Bush-Gore election. In this case they disallowed votes of people of their own party so that they could give the vote to Mitt Romney, when in fact Ron Paul could have won his first state.
As an Obama supporter I like the president’s chances every day more, especially when women, who represent more than 50% of the electorate hear that one candidate wants to ban contraception, that another wants to start attacking another country after the high number of casualties of the adventure of Iraq, and another talks about the height of the trees in Michigan and its lakes.
