Long question but important.Please answer. Decisions about the next Presidential White House?

April 22nd, 2011 5 comments

A former Democrat I no longer belong to a "Party" & will never again. I am changing my voters registration.The Person(s) their life/history/political record/present is what will decide my votes.
So many people of all ages amazingly have been saying no more Parties also. I’m stunned how often its being said. People changed Parties even flipped a couple of times (hard but eye opening years)but seem to be saying no parties anymore.
Have you heard a lot of this too?
I want & hope John McCain will run for us as President, Jessie Ventura possible VP. I do think Colin Powell could help a lot in a leading role too.
I think these men are solid Americans. "Parties" mean nothing anymore in truth we need persons of Honor from all walks of life poor blue collar who worked their way up. Washington must become real they are nothing of reality there but also we need people who know the ropes so to speak.
Although just recently becoming familiar with J.Ventura he is impressive.
McCain & Powell both know what the Hell of War is. Screams of men including your own friends won’t stop sometimes their in your head even when you are finally get back home. Heard men say at night when its quite whether awake or asleep they hear them.
McCain was POW he lived that Hell. Our troops & their families NEED & MUST have someone who understands what war is. We all need someone in the White House like that ASAP. McCain has health problems yes so he needs a solid team & if God Forbid he falls ill temporarily. Many may remember when Regan was hurt,hospitalized, & also underwent surgery from the assassination attempt VP Bush took temp. run of the White House. VP Bush also took temporary control again after the terrible head injury Reagan endured falling from the horse & underwent was it 2 brain surgeries? Bush Sr took office temp again.

So a solid team in place to back McCain if need be. A VP who can take on whatever is left a the 4 yrs.
You may ask about why I mention Powell? He lied he even said so & apologized. Apologized admitted to lying about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Yes he lied. Keep in mind though since forever all of us have said if just once a people would tell the actual truth if they did wrong. Take responsibility.We’d say It would be so nice if people did that & if it was a politician we’d all pass out in shock. Well Powell did do just exactly what we said we would actually appreciate. He actually meant it too.
To be honest the rumors that he did not want to lie however he was told basically "accidents happen & people get sick so terrible if it were to happen to your loved ones Cor. Powell"
Powell would know if they were serious he’d been through it before when he once thought of I Remember Powell considered a possible Pres. run after I think after Clinton left office. He received threats a lot of death threats mainly at his family so he decided not worth it. I understand that.
McCain for President if we can get him to run again. Ventura for VP & Powell in one of the other most important roles.
One day it would be nice if more than one party could work together in the White House. Someday?

Two things I’d like to add even know this is so long.
1.Please no Palin if not for her McCain may have made it to the White House. Not a bad lady but running a country is not easy & not for unqualified we’ve seen that.
2. Not all Democrats even Liberals (although it’s the people & records/histories for me NO more Party loyalty) have problems with the lack of gun rights in fact a lot of Dem’s want our gun rights back & left alone in fact the right to carry even concealed. California is such a nightmare! The rules are nuts. Law Enforcement is not to blame. Regular people cannot get permits in CA (or in other states) hardly ever even with a completely clean record but the endless illegal guns leave people helpless.
Most gun crimes are not by legally bought guns or by legal gun owners. Most are all bought illegally.
I heard from one man former military also former FBI 20 years in fact now works as an investigator he has a permit to carry concealed in 40 or 43 states he works in but not CA.
So not all Dem’s are out to ban stuff. Just seems most people think that maybe it helps somebody to know we’re not all like that ok I’m a no party.
Please give your thoughts about how & who you believe can help us create a Great Country.
Thank you so much!!

I would appreciate what you think about these men and what or who would make a difference what should happen??

You have a lot to learn. Don’t get it here. & it would take to long to elaborate on why I think you’re so misguided

First thing? Read:
http://www.constitution.org/fed/federa00.htm
http://xroads.virginia.edu/~HYPER/DETOC/toc_indx.html
http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html
http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/document/index.htm

And go to ALL the party websites. Read ALL the platform statements. Keep trak of what you agree with & don’t…..and take a look at candidates trak records. A lepoard cant change it’s spots, no matter what they say to get elected.

What do you think of the conservative protesters that stormed Washington?

January 5th, 2010 11 comments

I was shocked to read that about tens of thousands of conservative activists showed up for a protest in Washington DC. I wasn’t shocked to read their signs or complaints. One protester held a sign saying he voted for the real American… nice. Another protester freaked out about Obama turning us into a Socialist nation despite the fact that he is willing to forgo a public health care option.

The major topic was tax and deficit complaints. I’ve looked at my paycheck over the last year and it went up due to Obama’s "Making Work Pay" tax cut. As far as I know, there weren’t conservative protests after Reagan’s and Bush II’s deficits. At least Reagan rebuilt the military while Bush added an Education and Medicare entitlement. (An interesting side-note: Joe Wilson voted to create the Medicare entitlement which reimbursed hospitals for treating illegal immigrants!) As I continued to read the article, I started wondering if these Tea protests are the conservative version of Vietnam protesters.

These protesters are making me feel bad for Obama. When they start complaining about giving a speech to students, I have to wonder if there is anything he could ever do that is right?

I guess protesters are annoying in general. Bush II’s protesters were no better with their Nazi/Fascist/Terrorist/Not My President/War Criminal attitude. Maybe I can’t stand protesters because I have a job, a wife, and a child, or in other words: a life. If I’m going to march to Washington it is going to be for something very important, not a deficit during a recession which any economist will tell you is necessary.

As of now, I’m pleased with Obama’s job. The economy he inherited is beginning to stabilize. He has kept the Fed Reserve Chairman and has hired competent people including his Supreme Court choice. His foreign policy record is off to a better start than Clinton and unlike his predecessor, we haven’t been attacked on his watch. The US is respected in the world once again and maybe there will be health care reform that tweaks the system enough where I don’t have to worry about bankruptcy if I get cancer or some other sickness.

Maybe I’m just a member of the 2009 version of a silent majority. I’m sure many will post his declining poll numbers, but when Obama’s ideas are pitted against the opposition’s idea, Obama still wins.

Before I close, I will say that one difference between the protesters of Bush and Obama is that it appears Republican politicians too often agree with the protesters. Congresswoman Jean Schmidt told a birther that she agreed that Obama isn’t American. Let us not forget Palin’s death panels or Grassley’s pulling the plug on Grandma. Gov. Rick Perry talked about seceding! Finally, I leave you this quote from a GOP strategist that sums up how I feel:

Longtime GOP strategist John Weaver said the Wilson incident isn’t a "huge deal" by itself, but "taken together with what’s happened over the last eight years, it’s symptomatic of what our problem is."We do have structural, demographic issues we’re not addressing," he said. "But we also have tone problems. We could have the best policy ideas in the world, but we can’t get anybody to buy them if our salespeople are angry. Nobody wants to hang out with a bunch of cranks."

You are so right!

There were not too many of them in DC. Only 275 from our tri-state area made the journey to DC which is about a 2 hour drive. That was not a good showing at all! They are definitely in the minority! These people are the fringe faction of the republican party. They are doing a great job of distancing the good people from the republican party. So is Rush, Beck and all the folks at Fixed News as well as Wilson who was just caught lying about being an immigration attorney. Seems he was a real estate attorney! How ironic…

What I don’t understand is why these people want to continue to feed the Wall Street gang with health care. Twenty to thirty percent profit and they deny people care. One insurance company has two corporate jets. CEOs making millions…the hospitals and medical supply companies are just as bad. What are these people thinking?

Most of the people I saw were vets and on medicare. So are these people only concerned about themselves? When the profit goes to forty or fifty percent…will they own up to what they did?

Obama gave a tax cut earlier this year, I did not receive it. I guess I made too much…but I’m not complaining, I’m just glad to have a job! And someone has to pay for the two wars that Bush did not fund and the drug deal for the seniors that benefited the drug companies. I would gladly pay more so people had health care. Earlier this year, a little boy died because of an infected tooth!

You know, if you look at the voting records of some of these long time republicans…no matter who is in power..they vote no to everything. Ron Paul…straight no to everything. So are these people really doing their jobs? Are they playing it safe voting no?

I think Obama is doing a great job, considering what he was handed.
