Presidential Choices

It would appear we are going to elect one of three candidates for President of the United States of America. All three are somewhat alike but uniquely different. Two are democrats, or is this a correct assumption? The following is my assessment.

Senator Obama; He is a Democrat who happens to be black. Over the last several days he has faced a crisis in his candidacy for president, namely the Reverend Jeremiah Wright; his philosophy and comments for the last 20 years or so, and more importantly what's the Reverends influence on Senator Obama. The Senator has slid by during this primary race using very creative & tremendous oratory talent with virtually zero substance being presented. We as a voting public know very little about His philosophy. What change does he envision for America and how does He plan to implement these changes? Remember He has very limited Government experience. We will know shortly whether he becomes the Democrats Nominee for President or not.

Senator Clinton; She is a Democrat who happens to be the only Woman Candidate. We the voting public pretty well know where and what She stands for. I find it very interesting of her claims to vast experience on how to manage the executive office. My wife accompanied me on several business meetings in distant Cities & Countries prior to my Retirement. Can we extrapolate She has great business acumen based on these trips? I think not! Her presence on these trips neither added nor took away from the business at hand. More importantly we have observed first hand Her management acumen during Bill Clinton's first Presidential Term. Do you remember the universal health care package management? I do & I wasn't impressed.

Senator McCain; He is a Republican? Well he has at least won the nomination of the Republican Party for President of the United States of America. If one reviews the Senators public record, most would question his Republican credentials! He likes to be described as a maverick Politically, which should be examined carefully. What does that label mean to Him? How does he vote on critical issues, Amnesty for example; He co-sponsored the amnesty bill with Sen. Kennedy! Yes! I have heard HIS Recent statements about his past record & recently changed positions; this coming from a Person who wants to be elected as President. I have heard reference to his legendary temper & vindictiveness towards those who have had the audacity to oppose His wishes. That my friends is any one who considers themselves a Conservative. We have also heard claims to His superior military management experience. I gratefully thank Senator McCain for his sacrifices and military service to our Nation & do not wish to denigrate it. However;That being said, was actually as a fighter plane pilot. This does not require any Strategic planing what so ever, so much for being better prepared to be commander in chief.

Of the three Liberal Candidates, there is little to choose from! I am gravely unhappy with all of them. Presumably McCain would be fiscally more conservative than either of the True Democrats Candidates with their Tax & Spend Philosophy. You could hope for better Supreme Court nominees from McCain than either Obama 0r Clinton. As for any of them being better prepared to be Commander in Chief on day one are greatly exaggerated! The choice remains Yours, My only request of you is to vote your intellect & not by the eloquence of the speaker presenting their cause.

Who for President?

The Republican Party has selected John McCain as their Presidential Candidate, Huckabee's not dropping out of the race at this point is amusing. He can not obtain enough delegates to be nominated. Ron Paul was never a serious candidate to begin with.

The Democrats Still have two potential nominees remaining; Clinton & Obama. I predict Obama will be the winner as the Democrat party's nominee. No matter which candidate is successful; I really do not think either would be a good president if they remain true to the core beliefs they have stated.

Having said the above I think conservatives really have no choice other than John McCain. I'm not impressed by him but; I believe he will be closer to conservative Ideals than either Democrat Presidential Candidate. J. McCain professes belief in the core Republican Platforms. This alone places him ahead of the other two, who claim the socialist position on every issue discussed.

In the end every one needs to vote their conscience, I can only hope it's for conservatism.

I've been convinced; vote for Mitt.

I have rather conservative views on most things especially; government size, fiscal responsibilities, & a strong belief we Americans need to be more self reliant in all things. That being said several fellow bloggers have convinced me that conservatives need to support some one other than allowing the democrats the 08 presidential election by default.Most convincing have been; Patrick Conlon & Lemuel Calhoon in their post & follow up comments to me.

All though far from perfect if one reviews their overall performances " Mitt Romney & John Mc Cain" Romney is less of a risk based on their records than McCain. My reasoning is as follows.

John McCain has consistantly behaved more in the LiberalDemocrat party mold than any Republican party's conservative position. I will not comment more beyond the Amnesty bill, Finegold McCain bill, the Bush tax cut (He did not support for the wrong reasons). If you need more data look up his record, you might be suprised by what you read.

Mitt Romney is much more liberal in his professed views than I prefer, I think he is somewhat more liberal than President Bush, & I think we all know what a disasterous mixed effort he has put forth. Mitt does have some favorable elements going for him. He has a proven record as a good businessman, He has an acceptable record as governor of Mass. a very liberal state, He does appear soft on most social issues (no body's perfect) but overall better than McCain.

I there for encourage any one reading this post; Vote for Mitt as I have been convinced to.

Fred has given up & dropped out of the Presidential race. It's a sad day for America. He and Duncan Hunter were the only true conservatives in the race. What to do? I will have a very difficult time supporting any of the remaining candidates. Here are a couple of suggestions ;

1) Support the surviving Republican Presidential candidate in a loosing contest to the eventual democrat party's candidate. There is no way we can or should try to out liberal, the liberal parties policy's.

2) Wright in your own name in as your presidential choice in both the primary & general election. This action will send a clear message to the RNC we are tired of having to support the
"lesser of two evils" type of candidates.

We conservative Republicans need to start a national campaign to use the wright in option for President on our ballots in 08. By using this ballot option it sends a clear message to potential national office seekers; Liberals need not apply because we the Republican Party will not support you. The present administration is a prime example of how liberalisn does not work.

Republican Presidential Candidates

The 08 presidential Candidate selection process is an interesting group of individuals to say the least . This group can be divided into four major sub groups.
A = RINO'S
B = Isolationist
C = No chance at all
D = Right choice

The group A Candidates; Giuliani, Huckabee. & Romney I have defined as RINO's. All three gentlemen have very liberal records during their terms of public office.

• "Mayor G's" record during the Twin Towers Disaster was exemplary however; the balance of his official Government duties have been quite liberal & leave a lot to be desired, specifically Gun Control & Gay Rights positions.

• Gov. Huckabee; his tax & spend administrations leave no doubt about his actual position on most issues. He actually is probably politically left of Congressman Obama. Not as HE presents himself! He also apparently believes that all criminals are salvageable & to heck with the safety of law abiding citizens..
  

• Gov Romney; Is today what you want him to be & will Gladly switch his position for YOU tomorrow if required to obtain your vote for president. He is Definitely part of the Republican Elitist Eastern Establishment.

I can not support any of these gentlemen for president.

The Group B Candidate

• R. Paul is the only apparent Isolationist in the Candidates. He is to be commend on his views of our current Government size & the domestic direction our Country is headed. His views concerning our place in world affairs just won't work in today's world climate. I agree with him about how our state department conducts business with other countries. We as a Nation Should be leading the world in the direction of free Democratic Republics & stop wasting our resources on Countries such as Germany, France, Italy & to some extent Great Briton as long as these countries are not supporting the US A's best interest. For these reasons I can't support him.

Group C Candidates. All the remaining Candidates other than Mr. Thompson $ Mr. Hunter

• The remaining are probably very fine gentlemen with out a chance of attaining the Presidential nomination.

Group D Candidates ; Mr Thompson & perhaps Mr. Hunter.

• Mr Hunter First, He has an excellent conservative record in congress, His position on border control is appropriate, he is fiscally responsible & would make an excellent president however; his chances are slim, I hope he will be selected as a Vice Presidential running mate.
• Mr. Thompson, Is by & far my choice for the next president of the Unite States of America. He Has demonstrated very level well thought out position on all the major issues facing us as a nation. He has shown a good understanding domestic & international problems facing our nation. He is the only candidate to present in depth detailed plans to address issues such as Social Security, Border & Immigration control. He has also demonstrated He believes that the second amendment means You have the absolute right to own a gun. This right is absolute if for no other reason than the USA is a Republic, with a democratically elected government . the government has no other rights than what We the citizens have vested to them.
  

Fred for 08

I have not been a consistent publisher on this blog. My views concerning Illegal Migration & Multilingual positions have not changed, if any thing I have become more convinced they are the path to the demise of the United States of America as we know it.

A new Years resolution is to post at least once a week on subjects of interest to me. Hopefully a dialog with other Blogs can be established. On to the purpose of this blog.

Fred Thompson deserves our support for President. He isn't the darling of main stream media, He provides very few 20 second sound bites, and has shown his disdain for the ridiculous TV Debates. The debate format structure is that of a Three Ring Circus, not much of substance can be accomplished in 90 second blurbs. Of all the Republican candidates, He is the only one who has addressed major issues with a plan to eliminate them. He has remained consistent in his Conservative views with out resorting to isolationist positions as some are. Compare his steady positions to his Massachusetts (all over the place), or the Arkansas (snake oil sales man) opponents; Fred wins hands down. It's going to take a tremendous effort from all us moderate,and conservative Main Stream Americans to defeat the main stream pollsters, media pundits, & the entrenched DC plutocrats.

Fred for 08 is my pitch for this week, I am not very good at this so please bear with me & I will attempt to become A better poster as we go along. GO FRED GO !!!!!!!

Muti-cultural Diversity

The Multi-diversity advocates actually miss the point of United States of America's immigration purpose, hopes, and long term survival. The purpose of immigrating to this country should be to become one with the rest of this society. This in no way implies a lack of respect for the culture of origin, however; your insistence on multiple languages is a total lack of respect for the USA's customs, culture, and collective well being. It's imperative during emergencies to be able to communicate with each other. Not possible in ten different languages quickly. This group completely overlooks Our Country's position relative to immigration. Immigrating here to become an American citizen and assimilate in Our culture is the purpose.I welcome all legal immigrants to our Country! come and assimilate with us. The USA's official language is English
