I Disagree With Rush...

Rush said today that Republicans don't want a conservative. That is the reason they can't find a candidate. That is opposite of what the problem is. They can't find a candidate that is conservative enough. The American people do want a conservative, but they don't see one. People are more aware than ever of conservatism. It's been talked about, written about, more than ever the last two years.

But what is before us. Conservatives? Not really? So far the only true conservative is Bachmann. She actually understands what it means.

Look at Romney, is he a conservative? Not really. Romneycare is costing the people of his state more than they have ever spent on health care.

Do they see it in Perry? No. He was one of the five states that took the largest amount of stimulus money to save his state. Does that sound like a conservative?

Cain has a flat tax, but he still has an income tax. The idea of the flat tax is to get rid of the income tax. They are just being taxed more.

Even if Christie comes into the race, he believes very similar to what Perry believes about immigration.

The problem is these three top candidates are not conservative enough. I'm not sure even politicians understand conservatism.  Even if they tout conservatism during their campaigns, they spend like crazy once they get in.

Americans want a conservative that cuts spending, cuts government, and cuts illegal immigrants. Is there one out there? I am beginning to wonder.

We're done with moderate Republicans who make themselves conservatives on the stump, and then spend like there is no tomorrow once they get in.

For once we aren't going to have the wool pulled over our eyes. Where looking for a conservative. Is there one out there?

I'm Gaining Confidence in the GOP Presidential Election

The more of these debates we have the more confidence I have that we are going to win in 2012. Some say why so many candidates? The more candidates we have the more ideas we have to get this nation back on it's feet and running again. For the first time today I saw the headline "Is Obama the Underdog?" Two and a half years ago with his high ratings you would never think to see something like that in print.


There were highlights in the debate many made by Newt, this was his night for one liners. Megyn Kelly asking him if he could answer the question, and Newt responding, not if you ask the question that way.

Romney was more on his feet, he is gaining confidence in his debating and learning to avoid the Healthcare questions. Second half Perry came in that Romney was two sided. A good point but it didn't come out clearly like it should have. Romney realizing he had the upper hand slammed Perry on Social Security. Second time in the evening he came in scoring. Romney takes a great stand on Israel.

Best laugh of the night by Gary Johnson " My Neighbor's 2 dogs have created more shovel ready projects than the president."

The most heart felt moment when Herman Cain described his fight with cancer, explaining private health care companies saved his life. His 9/9/9 is gaining interest and his answer the main thing we need to get this country back on track, leadership!

Bachmann didn't get many questions for some reasons, in my opinion she needs to talk about more things than Obamacare.

Santorum was the other candidate who had a better night, making strong stand on staying in Iraq and Afghanistan until we win.

A second round at Perry when they came in on him about illegals getting college tuition we can't get for our own children.

Romney will not call Obama a socialist, who is he trying to win there? He was the winner tonight, but did he have enough to knock Perry off his crumbling pedestal?

The debate was good, however I still do not know who I'm going to vote for, nor if I really learned that much more in the debate.

447 Trillion To Be Added To Super Committee's Spending

Well, you had to know the money has to come from somewhere. The president has added a new load on the committees shoulders. 447 Trillion dollars to provide jobs and other spending to aid the governments overburdened load. Who would have thunk it? I did. My first question and everyone else's was where is the money coming from? This bankrupt, debt laden government, heck no? But only Obama would have the nerve to try it. and oh the cry from the left if the super committee doesn't do it.

Sen Rob Portman " It appears President Obama is once again abdicating responsibility for his plan, pushing it off on the deficit reduction committee.

I don't know about you but this quickens my ire. This will increase the 1.5 trillion-which the president presented to the super committee in August and raise it 447 Billion more making it 2 Trillion dollars. Now we need to do 2 Trillion in cuts to make the balance needed to reduce the deficit.

Again Portman said "I had hoped he would have gone in the opposite direction, which is to reduce the deficit and the debt, rather than add to it.

Could we think anything less of our fearful leader? Now we know how WE WILL pay for the presidents proposal.

Happycamper is Becoming a Little Happier

I'm starting to get a little happier with Gov. Rick Perry entering the race. Things are looking better on the GOP side. Last nights debate showed a stronger positive side, a more motivated group of presidential hopefuls. I enjoyed the back and forth between Romney and Perry which started out almost immediately showing the evening was going to have some fire. With Bachmann and Newt also in the mix, and Newt keeping everyone straight.

Romney and Perry are the top winners, according to the polls today, with Perry at 27% and Romney at 22%. Bachmann and Newt showed a good second string in case something should happen to Romney or Perry along the presidential trail.

Romney is strong with facts and figures for economic growth showing his mind power with no notes nor teleprompter needed. Perry showse his strength by standing strong on what he believes especially about social security.

Bachmann reassured her belief in getting rid of Obamacare, but said it would take more than wavers to dismantle the monstrosity of a bill. Newt is keeping everything straight, including the press and shared some facts and figures of his own. If the winner of the race to the white house doesn't use this man on his team they will be loosing a great asset to a new administration.

All in all I am a little more happier than I was a few months ago. I still don't know who I will vote for but I am definitely a happy camper at this time.
