For those of you who are completely and utterly clueless as to what is going on in our world I will be gladly to inform you. The Caucus has returned and 6 new candidates are attempting to elected as President, or as I like to call him a Figure Head. The President is Chief in Command and heroically leads our great country. He puts himself on the block for ridicule and slander in hopes that he can change this country for the better. Yes, it is a lot of responsibility but someone has to do it. As of now President Obama is our leader and could possibly be re-elected for another term. According to polls, he is most likely out of all the other candidates to be re-elected. Many people are unsure of the six other runners. I will be the first to say I am curious to see what other things Obama can pull out of his sleeve. He has done numerous great things for our country; pay roll tax (which might I add that the Republicans are reluctant to take his side on this issue), captured and killed Osama Bin Laden, and pulled our troops out of the middle east. How can anyone sit there idly by and say this man has done nothing for our country? If you cannot see this you are ignorant.
Now onto more pressing matters, the Caucus. The results are in and Mitt Romney is in the lead but right behind him is the budding Conservative Rick Santorum. Romney beat Santorum by eight votes! The New York Times is calling it the closest call ever in the Iowa Caucus. Trailing in third is Ron Paul, fourth is New Gingrich, fifth is Rick Perry, and lastly is Michelle Bachmann. It is FINALLY official that Bachmann has dropped out. I believe that racist should have never have never even begun to run. Let’s just be happy that she dropped out.
New Hampshire is now where the candidates are settled in, but soon they will be in South Carolina then off to Florida. These four states are hard hitting and have the biggest impact on the votes in America. Obama has not quite started his campaign yet. The primaries will take place in New Hampshire as well.
According to NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams people in Iowa and New Hampshire are bombarded with ads. 40% of what they see on television is political ads. Newt Gingrich claims he was running a positive campaign but now he has shifted to a negative campaign. ALL of Gingrich’s ads are directed towards Mitt Romney, our front running man. I would like to make a point that once you foolishly do this you have completely eliminated yourself from the campaign. You are no longer running, you slandering. If these candidates continue to use slander and negative ads like that they are taking away from what their original intentions are: to let us, the people of America, know what they believe in or want to do to help our country. Mitt Romney is one of the few besides Rick Santorum that is putting out positive ads. Keep that in mind people when you vote. Would you rather vote for a person who is focused on other people and not on themselves, or for someone who focuses on themselves? My mom always told me that when you talk about people you don’t like you make them important to your life, therefore maybe some of these Republicans should step back and focus on themselves.
As for me, I have no idea who I want to vote for and I am somewhat unsure of many politicians. I quite honestly do not trust them. They use so much puffery that you cannot see through the bullshit. I often wonder how anyone get around in that muck. The one thing that I do like that Mitt Romney has said, “I am not illegal immigration. I am for legal immigration.” He is the only candidate who has addressed the illegal immigration issue besides Rick Perry who says just putting up a wall will stop people from coming in. All I can say is that man is a complete idiot. He has no common sense whatsoever. The key thing I want you all to do is watch the news, read the newspaper (may I suggest the New York Times), and stay up to date on these issues because they do directly impact YOU.
