Ron Paul, is he has the wrong body and voice to be my representation. The idea of individual liberty and responsibility for ourselves is fine in theory, and his commitment to minding our own business internationally (not that we can't be a world influence, but it should be economically, not militarily) would mean that we wouldn't HAVE to have a color coded chart for our national security. It's an odd notion, that we aren't the answer to EVERY world issue...but it's a GOOD notion. We should be working on our own problems. On second thought...maybe he's the perfect voice for my thoughts...exactly.
Rick Perry, is that he really does think he answers to "god". I wish he were a bit more fearful of me, the citizen and tax payer. Whatever his religious feelings are, I don't care...it's insignificant to me. It would be as important to me as if he were a gun owner. It's his overall character that is what we are judging with his message...but he's off target. It isn't whether he's a "good citizen"...of that, I have little doubt. So Rick, spend less time convincing me of your character, and start talking about the content of your intellect.
Michelle Bachman, is her voice. I'm sorry, but Sarah Palin can butcher English into my ear all night and I'd prolly not hate it any more than a few scattered vowel raping words from Michelle. But my issue isn't so much when she speaks, but if she can really back up those big boy world ideas she is espousing. What does it take to change the culture of Washington? Can she affect that change. My problem with Michelle is that I believe she is right on many of her theories, but ineffectual in her scarce record of practices.
Newt Gingrich, is that he knows he's right, and my ego tells me he needs to suffer and learn a little humility, but my house is on fire and he's got a damn hose. Regarding changing a culture in Washington...well, only Newt and Ron Paul would be a real CHANGE in Washington. Newt could be the most effective leader, based on idealistic principles and a superman approach to being transparent in order to show off to the electorate his nobility. It's kind of like giving praise to success to a child, and seeing how far and successful he can be...but if you criticize failures...he can be just as aggressive on defence as offense. Could he work with Congress if he hits a speedbump, or will he stomp away? I'm not sure, but he's still got a damn hose.
Mitt Romney, is well, his record, his methods, his compromises, his lack of evidence that he isn't as big a douchebag politician that we are trying to throw OUT of the damn White House. If you're voting for Mitt, you prolly aren't reading this blog...that's for sure.
Please remember, whatever happens in Iowa, it's just a vote, in one state. You have your chance, and nothing is decided in January. But I know that we can't talk about anything else while 100000 people get ready to tell us what's important to them.
Yes, I see the irony in that.
