Conservablogger - Thoughts on the Fox News / Google Republican Debate Thursday

Thursday’s evening republican debate was interesting.
front runners, Perry and Romney (I feel) came off as boring and calculated. I did not feel their commitment to following the constitution.

I was dissappointed when the Youtube chat window quit working during the debate.  I was ready to cheer and jeer, but sadly, was unable.  So, here are my thoughts:


Ron Paul’s remarks stuck out the most for me, because he spoke of the constitution as something he thinks our nation has been violating. I believe he is right, and I think if he were President, he would fix a lot of what is wrong.

Michele Bachman was also strong. She spoke of constitutional conservatism, and I could sense her passion and dedication to those principals.


I think a great ticket would be Paul and Bachman., or Newt Gingrich and Bachman.


I don’t like Gingrich because he has been connected with the politics of our nation for some time and has, in some way, helped get us here.

Newt spoke of a new contract with America that he plans on introducing next Thursday. I think Newt was probably the most intelligent person in the room.

John Huntsman had a great moment when he spoke of his neighbors two dogs creating more shovel ready jobs than Obama has.


All the candidates had a chance to voice how they would change things.

Herman Cain spoke of a 9-9-9 plan. 9 percent income tax, 9 percent sales tax and 9 percent corporate tax. This seems a lot better than what we have now.


Herman also spoke of the lack of leadership in the White House and standing up for Israel.  Here are his remarks where he says, "if you mess with Israel, you mess with the USA.."


Rick Santorum said Obama is the new King George III.  That he (Obama) thinks he can tell people what to do from on high. Here's the video of what he said:


Each candidate had moments. I didn’t care for Perry or Romney. These guys are too spit and polished… to much of the type of Republicans that leads us in the same direction as liberals… accept maybe a little slower.


We need an extreme candidate for these extreme times.


So far, I have to say, I like Ron Paul.

Conservablogger Remarks on Republican Leadership Conference

As I watched the Republican Leadership Conference on CSPAN today, I was struck by sense of urgency many of the speakers expressed concerning our country and changing the current leadership structure.


Many of the speakers spoke of “a tipping point” that we are faced with where our nation (our republic) could fail if the current administration isn’t removed in the Fall of 2012.


The Governor of Louisiana, Bobby Jindal said he believes Obama loves America that he’s doing what he thinks is right for America, but in reality, Obamas policies are bad for America.


One speaker, Herman Cain spoke about Democrats saying that if the debt ceiling isn’t raised, there will be a credit crisis in Washington. Then he said, in Washington there already is a crisis: A spending crisis, an energy crisis, foreign policy crisis, an educational crisis, and a leadership crisis. (I’m not sure I got those in the right order or if I missed some, or if I added some he didn’t actually say; but you get the point.)


There were so many great speakers there I can’t name them all. And, they were saying all the right things. .. The Tea Party has had a bigger effect than I had thought.


As one speaker said, if they just concentrate on the substance of Obamas Liberal agenda, and how his policies of huge central government is stealing our liberty, he will lose the next election. I think more Americans believe in individual liberty and expect to garner it than the Left in this country would like us to believe.
That’s why so much of our media is force feeding us meals of lies, deceit, homosexuality, sexual immorality, teaching our kids that authority and personal responsibility are lame; ought to be mocked, and on and on.
Everyone knows the media is a liberal farce. Let me tell you, I can hardly watch CBS, ABC, or NBC anymore. They have turned into propaganda spreading arms of this administration, and I won’t forgive them for being traitorous to our republic.


They sold Obama to America, displaying him as some kind of rock star who could do no wrong… I hoped they were right, but I could see through their bias as his campaign rolled on… and now, there are larger questions than ever concerning the validity of his eligibility to be president.


In previous posts on this blog, you’ll see where I have linked to both video and news stories that rightfully raise legitimate questions.


What are your thoughts? Leave a comment.

One of the speakers urged us all to unite behind out representatives and support a concept they are calling someithing like, "cut, cap and pass" concerning the debt ceiling.  There is a website where we can go and get on board with a signature.  As soon as I find it, I'll post the link on my site here.
