The media is going to make sure of that. Just can’t wait to hear hannity proclaim Perry dead, Cain a saint and Romney president again all week. This whole scenario has me so frustrated I just want to grab people and scream….. It’s 2008 all over again… Sheeple with glazed over eyes marching zombie like to the polls only this time they have replaced “hope and change” with “9-9-9″. Am I the only one that is considering removing all the nines from the many key pads in my life? I just don’t understand how electing the leader of the free world has turned into a bastardized version of “survivor”. It’s like substance, experience and character count for nothing. It is somehow more important to hear someone prattle of a laundry list of stances then to actually gauge that persons accomplishments in promoting those values. Does success count for so little? All of these candidates claim to support shrinking government and reducing debt. How many on stage can honestly demonstrate success ? Three Newt , Huntsman and Perry. All of these candidates say they support reducing the tax burden but only Perry and Huntsman have actually done it. All of these candidates claim to want to reduce spending but only Perry has actually reduced dollars spent in the budget, no accounting gimmicks actually fewer dollars spent year over year.

Newt gives a great debate, has been speaker of the house but he has never ran a state or national government. Consider cains press right now and then think about what lies in store for Newt when it comes time to discuss character.

Bauchman is a great lady but she’s not been a chief executive and frankly been ineffective in congress against the democrats and as a leader of republicans.

Santorium is also a great guy but also not a chief executive and frankly couldn’t hold his senate seat. I don’t see him as a president.

Ron Paul… Whew… Half of what the man says is brilliance… The other half makes me question my sanity for agreeing with the first.

Huntsman is very credible, likeable and has an impressive record and has laid out some great plans. He is not a conservative though. How do you make us energy independent if you believe our very sources of energy are killing our planet, global warming nuts can’t be trusted with our economy as we have already learned.

Cain is a clown. He should of stuck to selling pizzas and his lobbying career. The man literally makes me cringe with his ridiculous 9-9-9 plan. Couple that with virtually no understanding of the role of the presidency and less understanding of our role in the world and you have the most unsuited candidate for the presidency since Obama himself.

Mitt Romney is career politician with an uncomfortable habbit of Loosing elections. He has been running for public office since 1994 and managed to win one term as governor of a blue state. Boy does it show, he has a record of failure and that’s the good point about him. His only principled stand seems to be that he should be elected, can’t find another position he has kept year after year. A born 1 percenter and wall street insider I can’t believe people think the US electorate is going to line up for this guy at this point in our history when the only thing the left and right agree on is their disdain for rich wall streeters. (Enjoy your second term Obama)

So where am I to go if my beloved Governor Perry fails?

Of course we will reject the son of poor tenet farmers an eagle scout, air force pilot, successful governor of the most prosperous economy in the nation. The only one in the field with the background, experience and record of success to ask with any credibility for the opportunity to turn our economy and country around. Why, because he forgot the most crucial thing to American voters “the department of energy”.

I need a drink.
