Romney Was The Best in '08 but in '12...

I Proudly Supported Romney and Voted for him in the 2008 Primary in my state's primary over John McCain.  Romney recieved 186,838 or 34.5% of the Total Primary Votes here in Senator John McCain's Home State.  McCain ended up winning with 255,197 or 47.2% of the Total Primary Vote in AZ.  McCain is the Senior Senator here.  It was expected.  It was still not a bad overall showing for someone many Arizonians have probably never heard of before.  Romney was more conservative than McCain in 2008 and was running a much more conservative campaign than McCain.  That is why I liked him, supported him and ultimately voted for Romney over McCain in the AZ Primary.  I still Like and Support the most conservative candidate at the time of my state's primary election.  Romney was it at that time back in 2008.  That being said.  This is not 2008 anymore and Romney is not the most conservative candidate running for President in this GOP field this time around.  Now conservatives like me have other conservative candidates to choose from from the likes of Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum and Herman Cain.  With a lingering threat still hanging around out there about a possible Sarah Palin run. 

This blog post is not intended to compare Governor Mitt Romney to Senator John McCain.  That is not my intention or goal with this blog post.  However, I do want to point out legitimate concerns and reasonable complaints that conservatives like me have against governor Mitt Romney now that they may or may not have had back in the 2008 GOP Primary against McCain.
Governor Mitt Romney may be leading in most generic national MSM and online polls right now with Rick Perry and Representative Michele Bachmann very close to him.  Most Romney supporters and advocates are doing their best to sell Romney as the candidate "Most Qualified", "Best Equiped" and "Most Prepared" to beat Obama in 2012.  I have even seen an article written on RedState.com showing electoral votes proving Romney would defeat obama right now if the election was held today. 
Is that accurate?  Is this really the case?  Or is this wishful thinking?  Optimisim for "the next guy in line"?  Now this is what this blog post is going to be about.  How and why the same conservatives like me who may have supported Romney back in 2008 may not be doing so this 2012.  (unless he wins the nomination) 

Who recieved the most attention at the Ames State Fair in Iowa?  Was it Governor Mitt Romney?  Governor Rick Perry?  Representative Michele Bachmann?  Governor Tim Pawlenty?  Rick Santorum?  Herman Cain?  Ron Paul?  I'd Argue and say it was Sarah Palin Who recieved the most attention of the people attending the state fair and the press covering the event.  Am I wrong?  I don't think so! I wonder why that is?  Many people probably have diferent opinions about that but Sarah Palin has still not officially announced to run for president yet.  Why all of the attention in who she is and what she has to say right now?

There is a lot of talk right now about Texas Governor Rick Perry because he just jumped into the GOP Race and also Representative Michele Bachmann because Bachmann just won the Ames Straw Poll.  It is only natural and practical Perry and Bachmann are receiving as much attention as they are right now.  My point is Sarah Palin was the big hit at the Ames State Fair just before the Iowa Straw Poll.  Not Romney, Perry or even Bachmann.   I have my thoughts and ideas of why I think that is.

Sarah Palin's Jobs Record Beats All Others.

Sarah Palin's Record on Alaska's Economy is Second to None of the current so-called "front-runners".

Sarah Palin is what America is looking for right now. 

Former Governor Sarah Palin maintains her relevence by continuing to speak out on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Social Networking Media Sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and staying in the headlines of most national newspapers across America. 

It is more than that though.  It is more than just my personal opinion.  Let's take a look at the numbers which shows who is showing support for Palin and who is showing support for Romney.

Sarah Palin has 3,224,762 "Likes" or people following her on Facebook to Mitt Romney's 1,082,088 "Likes"  A Difference of at least 2,142,674 less People "Following" Romney than Palin.
Sarah Palin has 632,736 "Followers" on Twitter to Mitt Romney's 72,529 "Followers"  A Difference of at least 560,207 less people "Following" Romney than Palin.

So why are conservatives like me favoring Sarah Palin over Mitt Romney for 2012? 

I have a list:

1.  Mitt Romney promised that his plan would lower health care costs, but an independent study shows that RomneyCare is directly responsible for increasing health premiums higher than they would have been if Romney hadn’t passed the law.

2.  The number of Massachusetts residents with insurance has gone DOWN since 2009.

3.  Since RomneyCare passed in 2006, Massachusetts’ state health care costs have gone up $2.5 BILLION dollars.

9.  Some conservative republicans are comparing Michael Dukakis to Mitt Romney.  That can't be good for Romney!

10.  Here’s Sen. Rubio (R-FL) talking honestly and directly about Medicare, and about the GOP’s approach to saving it.

America needs Medicare. We need it to continue without any benefit reductions for those like my mother currently in the system.... And we need it to survive for my generation and my children’s generation.

But Medicare is going bankrupt. Anyone who says it is not is simply lying. And anyone who is in favor of doing nothing to deal with this fact is in favor of bankrupting it. Medicare will go broke in as little as nine years. No one likes this news, but it is the undeniable truth. And the sooner we begin to deal with it, the better off we are all going to be.

Now try to imagine Mitt Romney giving this speech. Imagine him trying to tell Americans “Hey, I’ve got some hard truths to tell, and the other guys are the liars here. But me? When I saw something—you can trust me!”

Even Mitt fans would have a hard time buying this. Why? Because he lacks a fundamental credibility. It’s not the Romney’s a notorious liar, it’s that he’s an unflinching champion of the timely flip flop. And step one is to avoid declarative statements that can be clearly contradicted.

For example, here is Rubio on Ryan’s plan:

Rep. Paul Ryan has offered a plan that would make no changes whatsoever for anyone age 55 and older. I support it because, right now, it is the only plan out there that helps save Medicare. Democrats oppose it. Fine. But, if they have a better way to save Medicare, what are they waiting for to show us? What is their plan to save Medicare?

Now compare that to Romney’s position on the Ryan plan:

Like Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget, [Romney’s new healthcare proposal] includes block-granting Medicaid funds to states, but doesn’t include any changes to Medicare.

Romney said he would unveil his Medicare agenda at a later date, adding that although it wouldn’t be identical to what Ryan proposed, it would include features that he said took advantage of “market dynamics” and added choice.

Hem, haw, bob, weave. That’s the Romney model. Never say anything anyone can pin on you at a later date.
http://www.anyonebutmitt.com/post/2011/05/26/Could-Mitt-Romney-Give-This-Speech.aspx

So no.  I won't go so far to say that Mitt Romney is the John McCain of 2012 or even call him a "RINO" as some in conservative circles do.  I actually still like Mitt Romney and would absolutely vote for him if he is the Republican nominee.  That being said, I don't think America will choose Mitt Romney in 2012 just like they didn't choose him in 2008.  Mitt Romney lost to John McCain in 2008 and I predict he will lose again to Sarah Palin, Rick Perry or Michele Bahcmann.  Nothing against Mitt but America Needs a Solid, Articulate, Passionate and Battle-Hardened Champion to Lead and Represent them as President going forward.  As Good as Mitt Romney may have been or still is, Romney's Best still falls short again in 2012.  Sorry Mitt.

My Short List of Quality Conservative Republican Candidates for 2012

My Short List of Quality Conservative Republican Candidates for 2012 http://t.co/VU4SFsa

Obama is Still the Very Best Candidate the Democrats Have for 2012

I wrote this blog post for all of the critics out there who are still trying to claim that the GOP Candidates for 2012 are weak or soft. The picture above is just the beginning of how weak and soft Obama is. If Obama’s Current Job Approval Polling Numbers from Rasmussen’s Presidential Daily Tracking Poll of 38% of Americans Polled “Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -14” is not enough to deter such critics.


Maybe RealClearPolitics.com’s Multiple Polls they posted showing NINE different Polling Sources while giving theirs at the top pretty much seals the deal about where Obama is standing with the American People right now.

Gallup Shows Obama’s Job Approval Rating at around 47% but if You scroll down the page to see the whole history of Obama’s Approval Rating in 2011, You will not be impressed when You see the Highest Job Approval Rating Obama has achieved through Gallup is 51% (from May 2nd - May 8th)

Again Sad and Pathetic!

Republicans are supposed to be intimidated or threatened by that man frolicking around without a care in the world as America is crumbling, struggling to survive and falling to pieces.

This GOP Field of Candidates is the Strongest and Most Conservative that I've ever seen. Rick Santorum, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain and Mitt Romney have committed to enter this race to be President in 2012 because they don’t fear Obama, the main stream media or the skeptic/critics when they try to prop up and rewrite how wonderful Obama is.

The three strongest and most conservative being Rick Santorum, Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain.

Even the weakest GOP candidates look like they're willing to mix it up with Obama about his horrible record as President without holding back. My opinion about this current crop of Presidential hopefuls is any one of them would be better than the hapless, inept and juvenile Obama/Biden Ticket in 2012.
The GOP Candidates are not perfect by any means but when judging them or grading them against Obama or Biden, they set the bar pretty low.


I Know the Main Stream Media will spin and twist the overall achievements Obama/Biden did but that is what they do in every modern election. It is a Short List and Very unimpressive. This is nothing new, special or unexpected from the sold out main stream media. The Main Stream Media is bias and Not as Main Stream as it once was. It’s been replaced with Internet Social Networking Sites like Facebook, Twitter and other Popular Blog Sites which Andrew Breitbart and Many other Tea Party Conservative Patriots like to refer to as ‘The New Media". I call it that also but I also call it “The Better Media”. Certainly More Fair and Balanced than the Dinosaur Media News Networks shilling for the Most Socialist/Progressive running in the current race. No Independent Free Thinking Person relies on the Main Stream Media for Accurate News anymore these days. None that I know or talk to anyways.

With all of the Modern Technologies available in America today from the internet, Smart cell phones, iPods, iPads, Kindles and Nooks, obtaining Accurate information as it breaks is easier than ever and more American Citizens are noticing and taking full advantage of this as it pertains to following politics, sports, music or whatever.

Today’s Concerned Citizen/Registered Voter will seek out the Truth and find it quicker than ever before in history.

Here’s Some Truth and Facts they’ll find about Obama through Very Simple and Easy Google Searches about Obama:
Obama Claims to have visited 57 States at a campaign event in Beaverton, OR on May 9th, 2008.

Another 2008 Campaign event in Bristol, VA at a Obama Townhall Event on June 5th, 2008 brought us the Famous "Obama breathalyzer moment"

Obama's Gaffes are the Gift that keep on giving and he is far from being graceful or gracious.

The Critics say we need to be fearing that man in 2012?

Really?

Seriously?

I Don't think so!

It's not just his verbal mistakes that he's made in public that the media ignores and hides the best they can to protect the image of a President that Agree Most with their Ideology or about how many states there are in America or what medical device is needed for a child with Asthma, it’s really about how Obama is far from being All American. Obama is out of touch and not in sync with most average Americans.

Have You seen this Guy Throw a Baseball?

If that isn't pathetic enough, his bowling is not any better, it’s actually worse and embarrassing!

Even Obama admitted that he was a lousy bowler but he did so in an insensitive manner which was not appropriate or Funny. He went on the Jay Leno Show and said he should be bowling in the Special Olympics. That comment was uncalled for and not Presidential by any means.


Obama’s poor bowling skills is from lack of practice, skill and technique. It has nothing to do with the Good Hearted People of the Special Olympics that he threw under the bus seemingly for no good reason except for maybe a cheap laugh. That’s all he got too. A cheap laugh. I Hope he’s proud of himself.

I hate to break it to Obama but I think mentally disabled and special needs people can bowl better than he can.

Now we turn our sites to and our attention to the Vice President, Joe Biden.

A simple Google search for Biden Gaffes produces 565,000 Results. Do I even Need to go there?

I didn't think so.

The Bottomline about Obama/Biden in 2012 is whoever they face in the general election in 2012, the momentum is on the side of the republicans right now and will remain so all the way to the ballot box. Why is that?

Nothing will change in a positive way that needs to from now until we cast our votes in 2012.
 
Why not?


Obama/Biden are Ideologues and determined now more than ever before to finish accomplishing their list of “Changes” and “Transforming America”.

This GOP Class is Real Good and certainly Better than anything close to what Obama/Biden offer. Each and every single GOP Candidate is campaigning on Conservative, Constitutional, Free-Market, Limited Growth and Pro Job Growth Solutions meanwhile Obama is playing yet another round of Golf and Biden is trying not to make anymore public gaffes.

The sad and pathetic truth about 2012 is that Obama/Biden is still the absolute best the democrats have to offer.

That is truly sad and deeply pathetic.

I Dare these same critics and skeptics of any of the GOP Candidates take a Good, Long and Extremely Hard Look around the Country and Show us Democrats who are full of Useful, Helpful and Reasonable Ideas that will turn America around without throwing money at the problem creating more debt. I Honestly Don’t think there’s a Good, Decent Quality, Clear- Thinking Democrat Candidate left in public office to be found anywhere in America.

So that’s my personal challenge to the skeptics/critics, the left and the Main Stream Media which is really all the same anyways but they just refuse to admit it publicly.

There is one other sport that Obama has taken a liking to but we'll never know how good or bad he plays the game.

Obama has played More Rounds of Golf than any modern day President. Maybe More so than any President ever. I think 73 Rounds of Golf is excessive in an extended economic Depression that America has been in since 2008.

Playing Sports is Great Exercise and Recreational. I get that. I'm not at all bashing these sports or that Obama plays them. It is just that Obama plays them so poorly and with golf, it feels like he'd rather play a round of golf than figuere out how to balance America's Budget or sign more drilling permits for offshore drilling to help reduce the high cost of gas at the gas pumps this summer.

The Obama/Biden Team now have a public record after their first term in the White House. When any one of the GOP Candidates press Obama/Biden on their record on losing over 1.9 Million Jobs Now than before Obama/Biden or the 23 Months of Unemployment Rates of 9.0% or Higher (Highest Rate of Unemployment was in October of 2009 at 10.1%) May 2011's Unemployment Rate was at 9.1% according to Bureau of Labor Statistics Data.

“Confidence in the housing market has plummeted. Just 45% of homeowners now believe their home is worth more than the mortgage. Just 16% expect the value of their home to increase over the coming year while 37% expect a further decline. Even looking out five years, only 35% expect that the value of their home will go up.

As the debt ceiling debate unfolds, 70% believe it would be bad for the nation if a failure to increase the debt ceiling leads to a default on the federal debt. However, 56% believe the failure to significantly cut federal spending would be even worse.
The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates are also available on Twitter and Facebook.


Overall, 47% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's performance. Fifty (50%) at least somewhat disapprove.

Republicans continue to hold a modest lead over Democrats on the Generic Congressional Ballot. Today, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern, new numbers will be released for the match-up between President Obama and a Generic Republican presidential candidate.” - Rasmussen Poll
 

I think I laid out enough evidence and proof that it's not the GOP Candidates running for President in 2012 who should be worried or concerned about winning. 
That worry and concern should be the Democrat Party Who helped place their most radical/extreme Partisan Candidate into the White House back in 2008.  Now as Obama's Famous Controversial Pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright once said "America's Chickens.....are coming Home...to Roost!" 
Well now the Democrat Party will have to Protect and Defend Against all of the Damage and Destruction that the Obama/Biden have done while in the White House during their first term. 
It won't be fun or easy for the Democrats or the Main Stream Media.  They'll do their best. 
It just won't be Good enough.
This is a new America.  A Smarter America.  It's also a Damaged and Failing America that Desperately Needs a Breathe of Fresh Air and Pep in their Step right now. 
 

The Only Party offering ideas to move America back in the right direction that it needs to go in is the Republican Party being led/fueled by the Conservative Grassroots Tea Party Movement as evident by the Mid Term Elections in which even Obama had to admit was a "Thumping".  Or in other words, the American People want a new direction because Obama's direction is not working. 
No....I'd say the GOP Candidates and the Republican Party are the Heavy Weights in this Upcoming Title Bout.  Obama/Biden are the Jokers on the Ropes Who have Tons of Explaining and Defending to do. 
The New America I described above only has to look in their own neighborhoods, businesses around town and negative news reports they hear and see every day to realise who is being honest telling the truth and Who is just trying to remain in power long enough to "Fundamentally Change/Transform" America into something they make through Government efforts.  That never works and it won't work this time either.
Actions speak louder than words but in America the actions of the Voters will be electing one of these GOP Candidates to be the Next President of these United States of America. 
Last time I checked Americans recognise and notice losers and make necessary changes when needed to save the country.  No difference here.  Americans will come together to toss out these clowns and elect a solid GOP Ticket Who will do the right things for America and Americans.
I'll write about that in one of My next Future Blog Posts.
