Republican Politics

Soon the caucus' start, and the Republican Party has a boat-load of people who want to, theoretically, be President of the United States.

But, let's be real. The main battle cry is "Beat Obama" or it's corollary, "Beat Obamacare".

Not "Jobs"; not "Economy" (remember "It's the Economy, Stupid!"?); not Security or any of the other things everybody seems for but just can't get to from here.

As a Republican, I'm embarrassed. I can't say I'd vote for any of them.

Mitt Romney: To me, he comes off as a doo-fus. Sorry Mitt, I liked your Dad, but you just did NOT get his genes. Oh, yeah, you LOOK like him, but your thought processes are.....well, I don't know WHERE they are. Other than looking like the epitome of a Republican Running for President, I just don't get much else from him. Some say he has vacillated and compromised. Well, he HAS been presented with information and that MAY have caused him to changed his mind of some things (which is not necessarily bad) to give him that label. But, sorry, he just seems too shifty to me (like John Kasich).

Newt Gingerich: Really. A name like NEWT? A Lizard? Well, a well-fed one at least. To me, he has the best chance (but then so does an iceball vs snowball in Hell). You may not like him, but you tend to know where you stand with him and where he stands. Personally, I don't like him because it's all about him.....he does everything that will help him and photo-ops the rest. But I KNOW he's going to be like that. At least he's consistent.

Bachmann: Who? She came out of nowhere. You would think that being female I would jump on her side, but she reminds me of a ship without a rudder. She seems to wander all over the place.....and her facts, well, I don't know where she gets some of them. Too much like Palin for me.....only maybe less likable.

Ron Paul: Now this was a guy who really had some good ideas. He just doesn't know how to implement them and doesn't seem to have a plan. Oh he says he does, but its just all words and no substance. I agree with your ideas, Mr Paul, but that's just not enough. I don't go for Obama's "Jobs Bill" for the same reason.

Herman Cain: OMG what can you say about THIS dude? Here is a man who has drunk the Kool-Aid from the Power Can. From the time he hit the scene, I shivered from the slime, although I couldn't figure out why. Here is a man obsessed with power and not afraid to use it. And if that means getting the ladies, well, God wants him to have them. Just like Bakker and Jim Jones and David Koresh and....and.... OK, that's too far.....let's just say Bakker and the other more legitimate evangelists who got caught. He really does seem to think that it's all okay, since he's a pastor and does so many wonderful things for people (what those things are, I haven't a clue). He's flamboyant and entertaining (so is Carson Kressley) and I definitely feel he'll ramrod through anything he wants to.

The rest: I don't even remember their names (you'd think I would after all the debates). But they just seem like filler. Nice guys, but filler. Nothing special to offer. They play the straight men to the comedians.

Hey, but then again, maybe that's JUST what we need! Someone not so OBVIOUSLY bought by lobbyists, businesses or other countries.
After all, the Republicans just want to beat Obama. If he's doing such a poor job, then maybe that's EXACTLY what we need.....a dark horse. We can use the sympathy or underdog principal to grab the Presidency back!!!
