Some polls have Mitt Romney beating President Obama in the Presidential election if he wins the Tea Party nomination. But upon further review, those polls show that some people view Romney as liberal as President Obama based solely upon Romney's views and legislation on health care, abortion and same sex marriage rights in the 90's. However, the Romney of the 21st century is far from the moderate Republican he pretended to be back then.
Today, Romney changes his political views the way Newt Gingrich changes wives. Further, America is getting a heavy dose of Romney in this presidential cycle and it is apparent that Romney doesn't create jobs. In fact, he outsources them and closes the doors of American companies that benefit the poor and middle class citizenry, all the while getting rich doing it. Do you see why he wanted the auto industry to go bankrupt? Like a snake oil salesman, Romney would have participated in the bankruptcy process to collect millions while gutting one of the industry's that paved the way for the Republic to become a global leader some 100 years ago. That is the Romney shtick.
To the media covering this election season: Be objective in reporting on the candidates who desire to be President of the Republic and keep in mind that they are not applying for a job at the Piggly Wiggly. Americans need to know everything about the candidates. Be truthful in revealing who the candidates are, because at this moment you have the attention of the citizenry. If you fail like many of the current crop of elected officials, your credibility as well will cease to resonate with the people.

“Not the Smartest Person in the Room…or Anywhere Else”
Rick Santorum is the new golden boy of the Tea Party (Republican Party is dead), but just like his predecessors, i.e. Bachmann, Cain, Newt and Perry, Santorum, he is "fatally flawed."
The two time senator from Pennsylvania is a proven bigot, racist and homophobic charlatan. He’s also been a bold faced liar. Flashback to the start of the “War of Lies” that got the Republic involved in the war with Iraq, it was Rick Santorum that held a press conference to tell America that WMD's were discovered in Iraq. This was a lie so profound that even Bush and Cheney were stupefied. Clearly, Santorum didn't get the Cheney/Bush memo: “We're not supposed to ever find WMD's, moron.”
Santorum's comment in Iowa about not giving black people welfare benefits was Santorum’s way of being…well, Santorum. We've had this debate back in the 90's that just as many Caucasians receive food stamp assistance as Santorum called us, "Black people" do. This is nothing more than the classic and pathetic case of trying to cause racial division and derision among the citizenry.
Mr. Santorum's philosophy on abortion, gays and lesbians is Fascism in the highest order. He wants to take the right of a woman to choose what she does with her body, and if she decides on an abortion; under his delusional leadership she'd suffer severe penalties. His hatred of gays and lesbians is so psychotic that it makes Pat Robertson's view of the same population seem tame.
In 1994, as a legislative intern in Harrisburg, Pa I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Santorum and my lasting impression of the man was and still is: “Not the smartest person in the room or in a one-seat vehicle.” Santorum is a woefully dangerous man to the Republic and allowing him to be Commander-in-Chief would be like giving an arsonist a can of lighter fluid and a book matches, and telling them, “Now don’t start any fires.”
Santorum cannot be President of the Republic. He must not be President of the Republic.

“Rise”
I'm running for STATE REP. in 2012. I've spoken and written extensively about how elected officials continue to fail us and how you and I have lost confidence in those that suppose to represent the will and needs of the people. I will be a new breed public official-the kind that will provide effective results--not arrogance and hype.
I'm ready! Are you willing?

"Lurking in the Shadows"
If the Democrats play their cards better, they will gain many political seats in 2012. But, be warned, not all Democrats are "true" Democrats.
President Jimmy Carter was taken to the woodshed in the 1980 Presidential election when registered Democrats voted for Reagan and re-elected him in 1984. George Bush, Sr. also received support from "Reagan's Democrats" and now many of them voted for the Tea Party candidates in 2010.
Not to be outdone, even elected officials that call themselves Democrats don't support President Obama or the Democratic philosophy but are more deeply aligned with the Tea Party "idiot-ology"; chiefly, Ben Nelson.
Reagan Democrats continue to permeate the party of Franklin Roosevelt and vote for the Tea Party, all the while upsetting the balance of politics. The way to prevent a second wave of Tea Party buffoonery infecting the Republic is for Democrats and Progressives alike to register and vote just like we did in 2008.
Not to push the "Diddy" doom button that says, "if you don't vote you'll die"; but I would say that if you don't vote then the weak, weary and woefully unqualified will be elected by default because your thinking is jaded if you think that voting is a waste of time. In essence, you'll get exactly what you deserve.

"The Wealthy and Slaves"
"Impoverished kids know nothing about hard work because there are no good examples in their communities to show them how." This is the narrow minded, racist rant of Newt Gingrich; the same person that claims he is a historian. If he's a historian then Herman Cain believes in monogamy. Current and future historians must unite and teach this simpleton "factual" history.
Many of those that built America after Native Americans, of course, came from neighborhoods that were not paved in gold. According to Gingrich's "idiot-ology," poor neighborhoods breed nothing but drugs dealers, addicts, pimps and lazy welfare recipients. Yeah, I guess all those adults living in the belly of the beast that work two, three or sometimes four honest jobs to provide for their families are nothing more than gutter trash.
This narcissistic bigot thinks if you put a child to work cleaning toilets this method will instill a good work ethic. Getting the youth to work early on, say about 24 hours after their birth will no doubt motivate them to clean many more toilets for less than minimum wage. Was this not the same stupid rhetoric dope dealers instilled in children to manipulate them to engage in the distribution of "crack" in the 90's?
Not once did Gingrich mention improving the education system for children living in poverty. When you talk to some wealthy folks that were not born into luxury but were in fact, raised in neighborhoods and homes reeking with violence, hunger, rats, and roaches; they'll tell you that education is what lifted them out of poverty- EDUCATION!
I guess it is Gingrich's vile and distorted view that if these poor young bastards obtain a college degree then who's gonna pour his coffee, or prepare his meals and clean his toilets?
To think that this man is asking the citizenry to make him the Republic's next president is unthinkable. Before the Tea Party destroyed the Republican Party, the former wanted a two class system consisting of wealthy and poor Americans. If Gingrich wins in 2012, there will be two classes: Wealthy and slaves.

"Our Family, Our Veteran's"
You said sleep well tonight and every night, Anthony, because you will be safe. I will protect you from domestic and foreign terrorists. You take a weapon and stand a post for our safety and security despite your belief system that may counter to using a weapon. You do this because of your faith in GOD/ALLAH/JEHOVAH/YAHWEH, love of the Republic and the citizenry. You have risked your life everyday for not just America, but also for other countries and its civilians.
I cannot begin to show you my gratitude for your courage, compassion and integrity under fire. Thank you, Veteran's everywhere, for keeping us safe.
Attention! Veterans, American Heroes on deck!

“Why History?”
I believe that history provides us with topography for moral contemplation. In studying the stories of individuals and situations in the past allows us to test those individuals from the past moral sense and to grasp the real complexities they faced in difficult settings since humanities existence. For me, history is indispensable to understanding why the historical perspective changes occur. In many ways, historical analysis is a more challenging kind of exploration than genetic experimentation.
In my assessment history provides us with extensive materials available to study the human condition and highlights the complex processes of social change, including the factors that are causing change around us today. These are the reasons why I’ve been enthralled with the examination of the past and why our society should require and encourage the study of history as a major subject in schools across the Republic and throughout the world. When history is accurate and explained effectively it plays like a well orchestrated symphony.
I believe that history also helps provide identity, and this is unquestionably one of the reasons why all modern nations should encourage its teaching. Historical data include evidence about how families, groups, institutions and whole countries were formed and about how they have evolved while retaining cohesion. For many of us, studying the history of one's own family is the most obvious use of history, for it provides facts about genealogy and a basis for understanding how the family has interacted with larger historical change.
Many institutions, businesses, communities, and social units, such as ethnic groups in the United States, use history for similar identity purposes. Merely defining the group in the present pales against the possibility of forming an identity based on a rich past. Alas, people also use history for distorted purposes. Histories must be protected to ensure accuracy that tell the national story, emphasizing distinctive features of the national experience, meant to reinforce an understanding of national values and a commitment to national loyalty.
History provides data about the emergence of national institutions, social justice, injustices, equality and inequality, and values--it's the only significant temple of such available data. History offers evidence also about how nations have interacted with other societies, providing international and comparative perspectives essential for responsible citizenship. Further, history helps us understand how recent, current, and prospective changes that affect the lives of citizens are emerging or may emerge and what causes are involved. More important, history encourages habits of mind that are vital for responsible public behavior, whether as a national or community leader, an informed voter, a petitioner, or a simple observer.
