I’m the lady who shops in your stores and wears blue ”Believe in America” T-shirts. I’m the one who supports with unusual fervor the America as founded and improved by brave, honest, common-sense patriots…from Washington to Lincoln, Douglass, Stowe, Tubman to King, Reagan, Bush, Hannity, deMint and DiSouza.

You are my friends in my favorite stores, earnest professionals who believe they believe in America; who, like roughly 47% of our citizens, have no idea of the dangers she confronts with inauspicious Ensigns where fine Admirals should be.

Among my friends in all-American shops, only one man knows anything about our nation’s degradation, most thoroughly and deliberately under President Obama. As life and irony would have it, my friend emigrated from Greece and works at Safeway.  More than any other, America’s 2012 Election fulfills for him the maxim, “It’s all Greek to me.”  

I have other Greek friends who don’t work at my favorite markets: 

One is a 20-something girl, a classic clueless Liberal who insists everything’s fine in Greece.  It’s so fine, her family emigrated to America to check out the scenery. Young and blameless for her naive perceptions, she has no idea the Obama Campaign is quick to spot ignorance and is after her vote like mice on rice.

One is a smart middle-aged friend who knows Greece has blown it. She doesn’t know what to do but get upset and change the subject. A classic, disconnected RINO too nervous to watch FoxNews, she calls herself a Republican and voted for Obama in 2008. Like many Liberals I know, it makes her very anxious to discuss “politics,” a subject which defines and determines our lives.

My third Greek friend is obese, another proud, smart, single lady who depends on the US Government for the money she needs to survive here and at Costco. Disgusted with her man Obama, she’s classically uninformed and doesn’t trust Romney because she has no factual knowledge of him. 

My 4 Greek friends think of themselves as ”good Americans.” Only one of them is right.

And now, not so suddenly, how other Americans vote has become the business of every citizen who believes in and is willing to fight for her founding principles. Like the evil issue of slavery, how other Americans are treated grew to become  a matter of grave national concern, national morality and security, with 2 opposing sides fighting to win.

As during America’s first Civil War, only one side is honorable and right, the side of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass.

The positive news is, of my 4 Greek friends, only 1 will vote for Obama again in 2012.  A life-threatening thirst couldn’t convince this one to sample the Republican well, contaminated by Liberal Media, sourced from President Lincoln himself.  She’ll vote for President Obama because she’s young, media-brainwashed, and from a Liberal background…what many Conservatives call an oxymoron.

Unless this sweet girl educates herself and/or moves back to Greece, her kind of brain will never be able to grasp the reality of true and present danger.  

Another friend will vote for Romney because she doesn’t want to look stupid or worse. Too many people have warned her it’s insane to continue to keep digging the hole, to keep making the same mistakes after repeated warnings of danger and destruction.

If she votes at all, the third Greek friend will go with Romney * Ryan  because I’ve shared information about Obama that she finds abhorrent.  Had I or someone not shared it, she’d have no idea because she refuses to watch media which report both opposing sides. 

My Safeway friend will vote for Romney because he’s a wise Greek immigrant who knows our history, prefers living in America, not Greece, and has progressed far enough to recognize that 1+ 1  can only = 2.

Like me, an 8th generation American, he doesn’t need a 6th sense to spot a tyrant and a fraud, another small, dysfunctional man who would be king and will if we let him.

Beyond Safeway, irony abounds at Target as well. One of my friends there tells me I’m entitled to my opinion. Still wearing my blue Believe in America T-shirt, I leave him with a thought which he no doubt will not ponder:   By no accident in America, we are each entitled to differing conclusions and answers. Whatever they are  cannot change the fact that the sum of 1+1 has but one.   

The BAD NEWS is, if down-to-earth Americans can’t convince more disconnected citizens to learn the facts and ”vote right,” our country as founded, fought-for, died-for and improved, is doomed.  

The GOOD NEWS is, they have convinced them. In the sense of their certified disconnections from reality, Liberals may remain demented, but most so-called Independents don’t do doomed.

Early predictions of a BigTime Romney Victory stand.  Brave, selfless and strong, most American citizens are still not stupid…yet.  But like all “devils” in history, O&CO. have marked their territory and sown their seeds here, targeting our beloved country in entirely unsafe ways.

Sore losers and wacko thinkers will invent preposterous reasons why this happened, as Supreme Court justices show themselves to be quite like the rest of us in this way: they too have brains that work on opposite sides of the spectrum. 

Some people say it’s politics. In reality, it’s the way of men and women of the world, with or without robes, lucky enough to live in America. Sergeant Thursday calls it Divine Providence.

It’s not that Liberals don’t make good neighbors. Unless you live in Oakland or Chicago, they often do. But Liberals don’t make good governors, in the general sense of anyone who governs from emperors on down. The proof of their failures is in globs of world pudding, and for a few months longer, in America herself.

You don’t have to be acquainted with Robert Frost to know that today’s Liberals go bump in the night and stay mostly confused.  Happily, confusion’s silver cloud still produces artful successes from these left-of-reality brains. But Liberal thinkers who try their hand at governance are worse than blind bulls at the Kentucky Derby. Out of their element, they shatter everything precious in their path, leaving a trail of destruction, death and, at the very least, poop-piles to beat the band.  Then they morph into rocks, retreating into the landscape, responsible for nothing.

Put another way: everything “political” Liberals touch turns to mold. Naturally, as brains go, this toxic formula is opposite that of Mitt “Repair, Reap & Restore” Romney, where everything he touches turns to something most Liberals pine for more than peace itself: gold.

It shouldn’t take a wall to remind Americans of right or wrong, success or failure, freedom or tyranny, life or death, “mold” or “gold.”  But it did and it does..in 1861, 2012, and in-between. 

It shouldn’t take the deaths of 620,000 men in our Civil War or the death of Brian Terry and others on our border with Mexico. But it did and it does.  

Since the 1960′s, empowered Liberals have worked hard to ”wall-out” America as founded, fought for, improved and preserved. Drip by drip, they have degraded and damaged our country. Whether through drug-use, incomplete brain functions or both, their twilight thinking  has drifted so far from universal reality and survival, it qualifies as a form of dementia. In some cases, like Nancy Pelosi, Chris Matthews and Jimmy Carter, it’s insane.

Conservatives have long described Carter as one of those Liberals who “gets the rest of us killed.” Prescient and colorblind, we recognized that same weakness of spirit, that same demented thinking in Obama. We forewarned citizens about this dangerous, dishonest man who would be king.  As surely as the deliberate damage in and outside America, Obama and people he appointed got Brian Terry and others killed.

So, on this 21st day of June in this 21st century, I’m thinking more about Josephine Terry than Robert Frost, or even Abraham Lincoln. 

What decent, clear-brained American will ever forget the haunting face of Brian Terry in valiant service to America, contrasted with malicious cowards like Attorney General Holder and President Obama?  

What decent parent will ever forget yesterday’s pitiless declaration: “My son and I were very close.” 

No decent black, brown or white mother will ever forget the brave words of Josephine Terry. No decent gay or lesbian will forget. No decent American “diversity,” no matter the color, creed, or country of origin. 

Decent Americans everywhere still know who we are, and the divide is not as severe as Bill Maher would devoutly wish. It’s why he and other vicious Liberals call Conservatives ”self-righteous.” Unlike them, we carry a compass, the one that points to liars and tyrants and bulls, to all poisonous snakes, black or white, among us.

If dishonor is the wall that empowered Liberals want to erect in America, so be it. Let them hide behind it as long as it takes for us to deliver justice to Josephine Terry and her family, to honor all who keep America brave, honorable and strong. Until every American with brains, courage and heart goes to the polls in November and elects decent, honorable leaders; if nothing else, in honor of those who sacrificed their lives so we could.  

Like Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz in 1939, this year’s The Avengers holds everything to rivet your mind from horrible, terrible very bad news. An equal opportunity bonanza, Disney’s movie is fair, balanced and bipartisan. It inflicts pain when necessary and allows viewers to feel the pain of others.

Some might say The Avengers encapsulates what Americans long for, more of that lifesblood hope for change. Others in our divided nation view it as a reminder of what “Captain America” is capable of doing, and will again as soon as all the avengers assemble in November, six short months from now. 

How long Mitt Romney has been Captain America, few can say. And yet, early on, many of us believed he belongs in Ronald Reagan’s heroic club of  Clear and Present Avengers, ready and willing to spring into action whenever danger threatens America. 

Sure, FarRight and Independent Flyers were slow to focus on the heroic qualities of this brave man. Facts on the ground always have to force them to straighten up and, like Liberals, some never do. 

But now, even Liberals are  paying attention. Long scornful of “Captain America,” some are beginning to turn on his nemesis.

Waiting in the wings for decades, we the regular avengers rallied together in 2008. We started getting mighty in 2009 and by 2010, we’d teamed up with Iron Man to roll  a ton of miscreants. Mimicking one of Hollywood’s least violent scenes, the Incredible Hulk pinned some of them to the ground and cut their hair.   

But what do Mitt Romney and Captain America have in common? Both superheroes fly in and save much more than the day. Strategic BigPicture thinkers, both work well with smart, opinionated teammates Hulk and Thor, aka Chris Christie and Paul Ryan, with Allen Iron Man West and Liz Black Widow Cheney, to name a few. 

Since Marvel Comics first introduced them, ironically in 1963, these avengers are among America’s Superheroes, brought together on a single team like caped versions of Washington, Madison, Hamilton, Lincoln, Douglass and millions of brave unsung Americans. Opposite evil, corruption and the Left, they represent America’s forces for good…muscled, multi-colored characters who do the right thing and spread it around. 

Inspiring others with their honest, uneasy message, they mash the bad guys and urge us to come fly with the good ones instead.

It’s hard to believe such a pro-America theme was crafted by anyone in post-60′s Hollywood. And yet, Disney’s Marvel Studios plan for The Avengers could be pre-game at Romney Victory, Inc: “Team up characters from several successful films into one big event movie, build marketing teases into earlier films, and throw in a cross-over character or two.”  

OK, so I’m still trying to figure the crossovers: Mitch Hawkeye Daniels? Bob Frontier Man McDonnell? With the largest group of superheroes in Republican Party history, it hardly matters, as long as they have common sense and know how to add, remain honest and loyal to America’s Founding principles.

Because millions of InfoAge voters haven’t read revealing classics like The Emperor’s Clothes, Pinocchio and The Three Little Pigs, Disney’s movie could be their first introduction to humanity’s bright, shining secret: ”Captain America” does more than yearn for us and others to be free, solid and safe. Rather than hope for change, he and his avengers think carefully about what it takes to stay strong. Giving their all, they defeat those who would enslave their beloved country.

Despite an obvious appreciation for the movie, Liberal Media love to hope that America’s “TeaParty” Avengers have lost steam and more important, power. If they ever read Marvel Comics, they’d know that FreedomFighters never die or fade away, they assemble, rebel and win.

As millions of viewers line up to see The Avengers, it’s not hard to imagine what happens next. Huddling to be free again, such secret admirers might go so far as to cast their votes for Captain America.

To me, May’s record ticket sales for The Avengers presage good news for the good guys: this November, ”Captain America” and his team will blow Barack Obama out of the swamp he’s created in our country and make it right again. 

This Easter, Washington’s blessed again with sunshine and cool. But even if it’s raining where you are, something bright is breaking through.  Certainty’s in the air and with it, the kind of hope that comes from faith in the higher being millions of us call God.

After torture, degradation, death and despair, the thing with so much more than feathers is here again. Whatever your faith, the powers of hell get shellacked on Easter Day.

Since I’m a Christian, I’m only qualified to write about the miracle of Easter, a less secular time when everybody who thinks of politics as something dirty, dares not speak its name.

Yet I’ve long thought of politics as philosophy, which is to say something wonderful and worth fighting for every day.  How we think about it….and many do not…is tied to how we think about life, liberty and our connection to them.

To me and millions of citizens who think like me, America’s philosophy is locked in her Constitution, assiduously crafted and set in stone, only to be improved by wiser resolutions of original intent.

Like the Ten Commandments, nothing’s perfect, but without wise principles, all hell breaks through and covers the earth.

Aided and abetted by most teachers, media, and the usual  snakeoil suspects, increasing numbers of Americans do not believe in her Founding Principles, anymore than they believe in a higher being than themselves.

Like millions of sheep in any old wilderness, they’ve lost their way BigTime. Charmed by a different philosophy, they are determined to establish it in our land of liberty.

Mercifully defined by Webster as the love or pursuit of wisdom; a system of principles for guidance in practical affairs, philosophy may be in the eye of the beholder, but wisdom may not.

It may be fun to spend other people’s money, but no way in the rational world we live in is it wise.

It may be fun to lounge, lie and cheat all day, but in no way is it wise.

Grueling as it is, it’s pleasing to the ego, even fun to run for president.  But in no way…when you have no chance in heaven to win the nomination or achieve the most important 2012 goal of the Republican party…is it wise.

Whatever mountains Rick Santorum has moved, whatever prophecies he has made, the greatest gift he can deliver to his country is not far from the miracle of Easter. 

What better day to sacrifice what Rick Santorum knows in part, for the good of our whole nation.

As of Easter 2012, more TeaParty citizens have finally begun to see the light. The wise American patriots always do, just in time for the greatest of these.

For several years, I’ve been a fan and admirer of your husband.  You also, but my letter is to, not about you.

I’ve met and spoken to you both at remarkable past events. I made a point of attending every one I knew of, to educate myself and demonstrate my support for your husband’s superb ideas, including practical applications to rescue, conserve and restore our liberally degraded country. 

During Newt’s top-notch speeches, I always seemed to be cheering louder than anyone in roomsful of enthusiastic fans.

I wish I could say I’m cheering now, the day of 2012′s Florida Primary. Instead, I find myself wondering what part of Corinthians your beloved husband does not understand.

I know Speaker Gingrich converted to Catholicism recently enough to remember the part about sounding brass. Who among us could forget the clanging cymbal? Knowing in part or rejoicing in inquity? Seeing in a mirror dimly?

Sure the Speaker’s waging a major battle, the fight of his life.  As in any such life or death competition, Newt’s no uncertain trumpet…and rightfully so. If he or Mitt Romney were, they’d be atomized by an armed and dangerous enemy pretending to be America’s friend. 

But unlike other great generals, Newt’s rearing an ugly, selfish side now, a front that never wins in the longest run of any campaign. By behaving as a bitter, resentful soldier, so unlike those most Americans admire, your otherwise excellent warrior has inadvertently harmed his party and the country he loves. Newt’s not fighting the good fight anymore, he’s self-destructing and taking us with him.

Forget about what Jesus would do, this is not remotely what  Washington, Lincoln or the other Douglass would do.

Unlike a tiger, a great man…perhaps helped by a wise mate and both daughters…would recognize his strengths and weaknesses at this stage of the war and act accordingly.

Forget about Christian soldiers, a true patriot would say a prayer, suck it up, and bow out gracefully. He’d re-join and re-fortify his team, not tear it to shreds.

Speaker Gingrich has already admitted past mistakes to God. Tomorrow, for the good of his party and America, he should re-admit and make peace with the man who would and will be our next President, Governor Mitt Romney.

Your great husband would make an outstanding Secretary of State, if he wishes, and if Romney practices forgiveness as well as he does other Christian tenets. 

But the former Speaker cannot be elected President of the United States anymore than Moses.

Please do not allow the great Newt Gingrich to become another American tragedy. We have enough of those already, and he has accomplished too much to ruin his name.

As his gracious, long-sought and hoped-for match, please counsel your otherwise brilliant husband to focus more on Ike than Patton, and to have another go at Corinthians. 

For the good of our country as we wage the crucial war to conserve it, please implore Newt to behave now as a courageous patriot and a freshly annointed Catholic: with amazing grace. 

Thank you both for your wonderful work to try to restore America. Here’s hoping she never fades away.

With admiration and more than hope,

A Practical Tea Party Patriot

I figured it would be too much to add that I’d been a Romney fan since 2007. It seemed excessive to confide that I admired the ideas and dedication of Newt Gingrich, that I hoped to see Herman Cain as our next VicePresident, that Michele Bachmann was smart, articulate and effective, and had he noticed Liberal fear and loathing of aforementioned?

But, off the bat, the Liberal reporter was right: the majority of Conservatives weren’t going with Romney and it’s surprising to find a TeaPartyPatriot who is.  

Per current expression, most of these church-going Conservatives just couldn’t “get their arms around” this made-in-and-for-America guy. They didn’t “like” him. 

Bright, careful, honest, earnest, loving, measured, practiced, dedicated, loyal, strong, faithful, brave, Mitt Romney reeks of integrity, embodying at least 12  qualities Conservatives profess to revere. 

That Romney’s rare integrity isn’t enough for most Conservatives is almost as frightening as Obama’s predicted and disastrous term in office. 

It’s as if Clark Gable knocked on the Producer’s door, offered to play the role of Rhett Butler, and David O. Selznick turned him down for Joseph Cotton. It’s not that Cotton wasn’t a great actor. He wasn’t the right man for that role. 

Already envisioning hate-mail from the engaged & enraged, I’m hoping  more American Conservatives will stop acting like spoiled, ungrateful children, and start rejoicing that ”someone” has handed them a strong, capable leader on a solid platter.

Of a few good RedTeam candidates, only Romney can get every job done well, starting with the most crucial for America’s future: defeating Barack Obama.

Call it what you will, leaders like Washington, Adams, Tubman, Stowe, Lincoln and Douglass et al called that ”someone” Divine Providence, the Force Conservatives have always said was with them.

If ever there’s a time to look for signs of Divine Providence and absorb the teachings of our wisest leaders, it’s now and beyond, while tomorrow is still another day.

And as for today, 3 January 2012, as increasing numbers of Iowans wake up: 

*Mitt Romney, former Massachusetts Governor, barely tops the polls. 

*Rep. Ron Paul, anachronistic embarrassment to the RedTeam Republican Party, tugs at Romney’s heels like the anti-Toto. 

*Rick Santorum, former Senator, valiant Conservative and a far, far righter man, assumes the position, as he prepares to Place or Show.

Will Iowa Conservatives do the right thing, join forces, and help put the RedTeam over the top where it belongs? 

Will they go back to basics and show the rest of America that, after all their productive protesting, Conservatives know how to do their homework?

Or, as America fights for her life in a most uncivil war, will they stay stubborn in the corner, acting more like Liberals than people who are supposed to know better?

Obama’s self-centered white mother told him he’d go far by looking as slick as Harry Belafonte. The first thing young Barry did was roll up his sleeves and throw out his slippers. 

Now, in Barack Obama’s 3rd year as president, the mother in him is out there chiding black audiences to toss their bedroom slippers too.  

Still dressing the part, Obama’s also singing the same old song  to as many knee-jerk Whites, Blacks, Youth, Hispanics, Jews, Gays, Media, Government Workers and Public Unionites as he can find.  

It’s bad enough when Obama rolls up his sleeves, but you’re really in trouble when he starts dropping his g‘s.

On the other hand, he’s happiest when his audience is starstruck, dependent and tone-deaf. Like Jim Jones and other tyrants, Obama derives power, money and satisfaction from his followers, most of whom are so confused, they’ve lost their wits and their will in the land of freedom to use them.  

Of course, like most American presidents, Obama chooses his audiences carefully. Unlike most, he hopes they are extremely uninformed. He can’t win the soft war without hoodwinking millions of citizens, people who have no clue Obama’s wearing combat boots, poisoning America and, while he has the chance, Israel too.  

For all Americans in his latest CBC audience, I’ve got more news for you. If you think your president’s talkin to you, think again. He’s talkin down to you. He’s hopin you’ll think he’s chillin with the rest of you, knowin you’re too engrossed to see he’s playin you like Ray’s piano. 

Obama knows his balkanized base does Kool-Aid or he wouldn’t be wasting time on them. More rational citizens stopped looking up to him 2-4 years ago, and if his current followers were serious about connecting dots, they wouldn’t be caught dead in Obama’s 2011 crowd.    

Real, wise, unselfish men like Frederick Douglass, Herman Cain, Thomas Sowell, Allen West—real, wise, unselfish women like Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman and Maxine-Waters-Not, would find Obama’s political ”songs” off-key and as insulting as they are.  

Hispanic males, solid, smart men like Marco Rubio do too. Ditto wise Jews, et cetera, et cetera. Clear-headed, self-respecting citizens find tyrants like Obama downright disgusting…. and dangerous.

As the first president to deliberately hoodwink and bankrupt America, Obama’s steeped in Leftist-Liberalism and then some. Besides further degrading the Democrat Party, he doesn’t do well with people who say no to him. 

In 17th century Massachusetts, annoying little naysayers and TeaParty types were burned at the stake. Today’s professors can still give C’s to A+ Conservative students. But the only thing President Obama can do is strut, pound and lie to anyone still Jonesed enough to listen. The rest of us get taxed and regulated.  

Ironically, only unenlightened 21st century Liberals said yes to Obama’s soft war against America and Israel. But in the Providential lining of Obama’s election, some Liberals are finally starting to learn the right notes.  

Besides polls, you know this is true by the numbers of Americans suddenly self-labeling as ”Independents.” If what Liberal Democrats offer them is progress, most citizens now want the freedom to choose another path…if it’s not too late.

Many of us know someone not Carville stated: “The majority of Americans voted for Obama in 2008 to prove they weren’t racists. In 2012, they’ll vote against him to prove they aren’t stupid.”

As in the Economy, Israel, ObamaCare, F&F, EPA, SolarGates, CronyGates, Gitmo, Biden, Holder, Geithner, Czars, Defense Errors, Michellextravagences, DoddFrank, Regulations, Taxes, Lies, Lies and Video Tapes…add your own to this Liberal Democrat president’s vast slippery slope. 

FWIW, I’d say to American Blacks, Whites, Youth, Hispanics, Jews, all voters who still refuse to arm themselves with the facts, stop letting Obama, BlueMedia, Sharpton, Krugman, Jackson, Waters, Pelosi, Reid and dangerous egos like Jim Jones play you. 

Find your freedom and educate yourself! Check out American cities, states and government institutions for proof-in-the-pudding of what policies work and which ones destroy our country and her allies.

As much as we all despise war, America’s in one. As always, it’s about freedom, and once again, ours. With that in mind, pretend you’re Lincoln, Douglass and Truth for a month…what would these clear-headed, unselfish American heroes do and think?

Forget the damn slippers. The smartest thing is for all Americans to put on serious thinking caps, study up and become as truly independent as we are.

Twain used to ”poke fun” at his own father for reminding him how much he had to learn. When he did progress, little Sammy Clemens marveled at how much his “old man” had advanced.

It’s occurred to me that Barack Obama was never blessed in this way. Like Huck Finn, he was raised without decent parents. Yet, unlike Huck, no one ever taught Obama how much he had to learn. 

Sure, young Barry grew up with versions of Aunt Polly and the Widow Douglas. But in his formative years, he never had the guidance of a wise man like Jim, the pivotal player in Twain’s masterpiece, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. 

Now that Barack Obama’s president, it’s much harder to tell him what Conservatives have long known: he’s another inexperienced professor with a lot to learn.  

Within Obama’s Democrat party, someone with the stature of  Jim is nowhere to be seen. Most of his Liberal staff and media minions are as green as Obama himself.  As clever and industrious as they are, none has the wisdom that comes with age and experience.

Moreover, for him and others not grounded in common sense, today’s Ivy League colleges didn’t bridge the gap, they made it worse. They led most of their students inward, not outward.

Unfortunately for him, Obama’s wife is no source of sagacity either. Instead, ”Michelle Nouvelle”  is as hopeless as her mate, another pseudo-patriot and Democrat diva feeling fully entitled to decimate our hard-earned taxpayer dollars.

At “the new 40,” Obama’s a man-child who sincerely believes he’s “the grown-up in the room.” He’s convinced he knows what he’s doing in the face of rational, incontrovertible proof he’s wrong.

Obama’s not likely to learn or admit how much he doesn’t know. But the majority of Americans are. All those voters who married their idol in 2008, grew up and learned the meaning of  “ill-advisedly and lightly.” They’re already promising to do better in 2012.  

Out front ahead of them are millions of other citizens who knew it was past time for a real grown-up in the White House. And while America’s getting serious, let’s put one in the West Wing too.

Of course we need experienced leaders and accomplished job creators. We need to elect more sensible, mature adults who have at least raised adolescents, lived through it and other life-and-death struggles. Most important, we need honest men who grew up in solid, loving households…unless America wants more degraded, dysfunctional males debasing the presidency and wreaking havoc at every turn.

During Obama’s 3 years in office, America’s more debilitated than ever. Protesting from behind, a few noted Libs are getting the gist. Others, who think like Mark Twain and mostly dead Democrats, wait for young Barry to grow up and get it. 

In fact, many Conservatives wonder about Liberals in general. Can they ever really grow up and get it without having served, helped run a business, supported themselves, lived on a budget or hand-to-mouth on the Mississippi with Jim?

Still, I’m betting Americans in both parties, broke and unbroke, want  presidents and vice-presidents they can truly be proud of. Since self-described Liberals weigh-in at 20%, 2012′s the year clear-headed thinkers can and should elect 2 wise, well-grounded, well-adjusted males to represent the Republican RedTeam.

As Providence would have it, we have 3 wise men in next year’s race. Newt Gingrich could hold 2 Cabinet jobs at once. But Romney and Cain are the candidates who can be elected in 2012.  Above all, they are the great grandfathers in this race who got there the old-fashioned way. Poised and prepared to win a lot more than one for America, they earned it.
