Closing Arguments from the Next Generation

    America is buit on dreams. The pilgrims came to America on the Mayflower with the dream of religious liberty.  The founders fought a Revolution with the dream of a free nation.  A Civil War was fought with the dream of equality for all.  The social turbulence of the 1960s was directed with the dream of ending racial segregation once and for all.  “One Man’s Dream” | Read More »

    Potential #2′s: Bob McDonnell

    Speculation concerning Mitt Romney’s choice of a running mate is beginning to pick up as of late, with a handful of names being consistently mentioned.  Marco Rubio, Rob Portman, Paul Ryan, and Kelly Ayotte seem to be the names I hear the most.  Personally, I believe there are better choices than any of these people.  While I am a huge supporter of some of them, | Read More »

    Open Letter to Mitt Romney– from the Next Generation

    Dear Governor Romney, I’ll start by honestly saying that you were not my favorite candidate in the primaries.  I supported Rick Perry and Rick Santorum, both of whom you sparred with in debates and on the campaign trail.  In those discussions, I did see in you a candidate who handled himself well under pressure.  In most cases, you kept your composure even when under incredible | Read More »

    The Case for a Vice-President DeMint

    The one name that might be able to seal the election for Mitt Romney is probably one of the only names I haven’t heard even thrown around by pundits on both sides of the aisle.  They seem to be hugely overlooking South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint.  Why is he being overlooked?  He has one of if not the most conservative record in the Senate.  He’s | Read More »

    The Case for a Strong Congress

    I think many Americans have been focusing on an issue this primary season that, although very important, has not been the core issue that should have dominated our thinking.  Electability has been a huge argument for Mitt Romney as he battled his Republican challengers; Romney is more electable, pundits would say, but Santorum has real convictions.  Which would you rather have?  Apparently, electability won out | Read More »

    Freedom and Opportunity

    As I listened to our presumptive GOP Presidential nominee give a speech yesterday afternoon on CSPAN, something he said really stuck with me:  This November, “freedom and opportunity will be on the ballot.”  I have been trying to “make” myself like Mitt Romney for weeks now.  As a strong Santorum supporter, I hate to see things come to this point, but they have.  I won’t | Read More »

    Which Mitt?

    I honestly think that Mitt Romney hasn’t been vetted as fully as the rest of the candidates in the race due to the fact that he also ran in 2008 and “was vetted then.”  No one “cares” about those same issues, so Gov. Romney has somehow received a pass on having his past inspected.  Apparently, someone got fed up with this behavior and decided to | Read More »

    Mitt Romney Endorsements: Sham or Real?

    Endorsements in this 2012 GOP Presidential race have not appeared to make much of a difference; however, I’m curious about many of them.  It seems to me that many individuals whom I greatly admire and respect have endorsed the same candidate; could this be a coincidence?  Of course.  I want to know, though, whether it is or not.  Why is it that many prominent Tea Party | Read More »

    The True Conservative

    This is the first Presidential primary season that I have followed and been involved in, and I definitely have not been disappointed.  The up-and-down of this election season has made for a very entertaining and interesting race.  From the beginning, Mitt Romney was the clear “favorite” to win our nomination.  I have never been a supporter of his; I feel that his record is not | Read More »
