How the President increased his Paygrade - or God lowered his.

Remember in the last election - the trainwreck of '08. Remember during a conversation with Rick Warren during the last election. Warren asked Obama about Abortion and Obama said a decision like that was above his paygrade. The liberal media's defense at the time was that Obama was talking about God.

After all, the religious zealot that he was, going to church regularly and listening to the Reverend Wright tyrannical and often anti-american speechifying - which the Reverend Wright must never have done while Obama was not in the house, was the cornerstone of the President's strategy to get the Evangelical vote - at least in 08. Today, he must have decided he doesn't need or want that vote, because the number of times that he has been to church, I can count on one hand.

And today our religious zealot of a President decided that he has finally started to make enough to comment on if Abortion is right or wrong. No big surprise to this blogger - he thinks it's not only a constitutional Right - but that it's purpose was to allow women to achieve the same goals as men - so it's an EQUAL OPPORTUNITY ENHANCER!

On this, the 39th Anniversary of Roe vs Wade, which as a Wesley Clarke Liberal told me once - It was bad law and bad science of the time for that law to be decided - even if he agreed with it. A principaled argument - certainly someone I can respect more than the someone who makes the comment - 'It's above my paygrade.' And then the President goes as far as to identify how beneficial the killing of babies has been for Women's Rights. Well, could we make the argument that killing innocents in a genocide made it easier for there not to be conflict? No, it's an absurd argument - as absurd as the statement that Abortion has helped Women's Rights.

But what do you expect from a Paycheck President. It's like the conversation Tom Cruise had with Cuba Gooding Jr. in Jerry Maguire Stop being a paycheck player.

The President shamelessly played to his base on this argument.

When we look at the conflict with the Republican Party, and who will be the nominee. We see to many pundits asking and answering the question of if the candidate is 'electable'. What does that mean? What they are really asking is - Is the candidate liberal enough for the media and elites to vote for or the moderates. I'm sorry - these people will NEVER vote for a conservative - even if the Anti-Christ is running for the Presidency for their party (this might even strengthen their base's voter turnout)

The person who is running for the Republican Party NEEDS to be in direct contrast to the President. The Candidate needs to be able to articulate this message and not back down when he is given hardball questions.

We want a candidate who will not dust himself off when the liberal pitcher of the debates throws a ball at him enough to give him some chin music. We need a candidate who will give back more than he got in the traditional debate and in the numerous interviews and other 'gotcha' situations. We need someone who doesn't need a teleprompter to make memorable lines. We need a candidate who after he takes a fall, will get back on that horse and ride it to victory.

This person is NOT Mitt, nor Rick or Paul. It's a NEWT!

ROMNEY WEAKNESS or It's the Republican's too fail.

The case of the Iowa Caucus:

At first, let me disclose that currently I am struggling with my vote. A) Paul is completely out of the running for me - his foreign policy is just too extreme. B) I like Santorum, but I don't know enough about him to make a judgement of yes or no. C) I like Gingrich because I know he will hammer the President in the Debates and because he can deliver the Conservative Message - he has his bona fides D) I just don't know if Perry has it in him to finish the job of winning against Obama. He will have to overcome the 'Another Texan like George W' syndrome. I liked W, but I'm not the only person voting in this election. And E) Romney is not a consideration for me. Not looking for a used car salesman for President, and I just don't think he can win. So now you know where I am coming from, and my "BIAS". Here's WHY:

A win is still a win. If you win by limping over the finish line while your next closets competitor is running at full blast, and you just happen to have enough distance and time ahead of your opponent to get across the line first - well YOU WON! Just as Rocky Balboa in Rocky II or better yet Apollo Creed "Now, when you beat me, you beat me by one... ONE... second. Now do you know what something like that does to a man of my intelligence?" (He wrote sarcastically.)

We know that Santorum is certainly not feeling bad about his near win - at least he shouldn't. The person here who should feel bad is the anointed one - Romney. Because Iowa didn't show his strength - it showed his weakness. Yes, I said weakness.

Remember he's suppose to be the guy whose drawing in the moderates - because he's not extreme like some of the base want their candidate to be. Remember because of his ability to work with Liberals in Massachusetts - he's suppose to be the perfect candidate to pick off votes from the President.

My first reaction to this is - If you (and I mean all those out there that are interested in voting for Romney) truly believe that Democrats and Moderates will vote for Romney because he isn't extreme, I guess then during the 2008 election what we saw was a lot of people who thought that the policies projected by then Senator Obama was Moderate. If you truly believe this - I have a big piece of property that crosses the East River that you need to buy from me as soon as you can.

Seriously. Understand that the person that is our candidate needs to be a Conservative, someone who can draw a stark contrast between the Left and the Right. This is NOT Romney. To boot - he is vulnerable to the flip flop attacks that crushed Kerry and McCain.

Worse, he doesn't have an anchor. At no point in his past did he truly push a conservative agenda, that's the anchor that he is missing. Unlike Democrats we need our representative to have a solid background, someone who has demonstrated great leadership and or strong conservative values.

Democrats fawned over the empty suit of Barack Obama in 2008. Historically - Conservatives don't look for an empty suit - they look for a REAGAN, who was anything but an empty suit.

Below is an example of Romney Weakness. Review it for yourself. Hat tip to Eric Bolling and THE FIVE for having this piece on their show today.

The Company of COMA or HOW to NOT elect your President!

What kind of backwards third world company selects it's leader by a small percentage of it's stockholders?
What company picks the one that is 'liked' by the majority and not on the basis of their merit or accomplishments?
What company picks their leader based on the amount of money they draw into their coffers that convince their shareholders that they should pick that individual?

I'm sure you recognize, since you must be an intellectual giant, because you have chosen to read this blog, that I am in fact not talking about a company, but our country. And for the really astute of you I'm sure you have already figured out that I am talking about the Iowa Caucus - and who wants to try and figure that out anyway.

What I am trying to say here is that Iowa doesn't matter - not that our system is messed up. So Iowa doesn't matter - at least as much as people are making it out to sound and certainly not as much as one state in the Union can matter. There are forty nine other states and forty nine other chances for these candidates to get delegates for the convention.

There is an argument that Iowa is a smaller version of America. I think this is missing a larger point, there is NO smaller America. I don't know of anyone in Iowa who shares my same views exactly, or has the same thought processes of me. I am the only person like that, that's what makes us unique and makes us shine.

Keep that in mind this week as you see the pundits make their cases. For myself the only way that Iowa impacts me and helps me in MY decision process is simple. If any candidate is weak kneed enough to bail after this election, then they didn't deserve my vote and time to investigate them. I suggest you have the same thinking.
