Who Will Stand Against Obama Part 2

So will the next candidate on the GOP side be a sacrificial lamb who will be slaughtered against the wave of Barack Hussein Obama in the next election? Is that way the current slate of possible candidates is holding back?

No, I don’t think so. I have more faith in the American people than that. I think that this election has to be as much of an anti-Obama election as it is a pro-Tea-Party-infused-Republican election. We have to home in on all of the negative things Obama has done to our country at the same time as we highlight the strengths of the movement back to first principles. We have to focus not just on the man or woman who will represent us, but the entire movement behind him or her. That the strength comes from the ideals and principles, and not from narcissistic dictatorial fiat.

In a sense, we have to present that we ALL stand against Obama, not just the candidate. If America sees that, then we will win. And America can be restored.

Chris Christie: Will Americans Vote For Someone Like Them?

So Governor Christie makes a great case, and if he changes his mind about running for President and does, I think he would be a strong candidate. The question is: can we look past his exterior (if you haven’t seen him, Governor Christie is a large man) and vote for someone based on his words and not what he looks like? I mean can we really vote for someone who truly looks like a regular American (at least count we have a 60% obesity rate), like someone who you could see sitting in the next booth at Hometown Buffet?

Do we really need our elected officials to look like celebrities? Do we really need them to look good or sound good (Some people take exception with Sarah Palin’s voice). Have we as a people gone beyond the superficial, and can truly elect the best person for the job, no mater what they look like?

Chris Christie Wows, But Does He Go Far Enough?

So I checked out Governor Chris Christie’s speech at the American Enterprise Institute the the other day. He makes a great case, speaking strongly about doing big things and dealing with the real, big issues, like social security, medicare and the military. I think he has a grasp of some of the enormity of the issues facing us today – literally life of death issues for America. He speaks convincingly, and seems to have some good solutions, well is at least open to serious action. Although while listening to him, I still had this sense that even his solutions would not be good enough. We truly need to go back to first principles, take the state back down to the level it was at during the founding of this country. The question is: can he go far enough? I wasn’t convinced in listening to him. At this point, I’m not sure anyone understands the enormity of the changes that need to take place in order for this country to survive.
