Sorry about that little stretch of quiet, I recently started a new job and have been swamped. The holidays are a busy time at K-Mart, yep I'm working at K-Mart. I can't get into details on K-Mart, there is actually a no social networking clause in my job description. Big K aside, I have been following the news and wanted to comment briefly on some of the big and not so big stories.
First off Korea; North Korea attacked a small island belonging to S. Korea disrupting some war games. The MSM is hyping this into another war. Officially the Korean War was never ended so it would be a re-escalation, but beyond that, this is nothing new. The last power shift in NK between Kim Il-Sung and current despot Kim Jong-Il there was the same show of power type deal. Now Kim Jong-Il is passing the dictatorial torch to his son Kim Jong-Un so it is no surprise NK is acting up. They probably want what they aways want when they do something stupid, more food and money from the US. Which we always give.
The Wikileaks classified document dump is another thing in the news big right now. Again we are not learning anything we didn't already know. Iran was funneling weapons to Hezbollah during the recent spat with Israel, duh! Does something need to be done about this? Yes, of course but is it being blow out of proportion probably to cover another story? I think so.
That story would be the "lame duck" congress going back to their failed agenda. Yes Nancy Pelosi is still in charge and right now as I type House Bill S510 (food safety) is being debated and goes for vote tomorrow. This is another power grab by the federal govt. via the FDA. I feel like American food is pretty safe and letting the FDA run wild with regulations and taxes is just going to hurt us where it counts most, our wallets. But there's more, a week after massive protest in California over the rising cost of universities, the "dream act" is getting the big push from democrats and RINO republicans. This will allow deportable illegal aliens to attend college at a highly subsidized rate, the cost of this of course falls on us the US taxpayer. The list could go on, but I promised brevity.

The Question is Who?
I watch the news, a lot and I read even more on the internet. Being a conservative republican is not easy these days. While I think we will do well in the mid-terms coming up, I am troubled about two years from now. Who can we (conservatives) put up against Obama (or Clinton if you believe the rumors), there are a lot of names swirling around, but I am not sure about any of them.
Sarah Palin- She's smart, but I don't think she has the experience to run the Country. Being governor is usually enough and I understand Alaska is a big state with big issues that the governor has to deal with. But I can't equate that to running the US, especially a US that is in a financial crisis almost Great Depression sized. I see a bright future for her in the RNC chair.
John McCain- That's a damn joke and I never want to hear it again. RINO.
Fred Thompson- I think he may have been able to do the job two years ago but now he's done.
Mitt Romney- May be our best chance, he's a governor, he's a businessman, but he's also just barely conservative. Governing a state like Massachusetts you have to be a center guy. It's a blue state and it has it's own socialized health care, I know Romney says what works for the state is not for the country but that will always be in my head, up front. Oh and I don't care about his religion, Mormons have never flown a plane into a building, yes that's how I judge!
John Boehner- He also may be our best chance. Though I don't like the idea of a congressman advancing to the seat of President. Boehner is very smart and politically savvy, he was even the president of a fairly large plastics company which gives him some business experience. But he is also a politician through and through and my gut tells me to be wary of that. Politicians say whatever they have to, to get elected the R or D mean nothing.
???????????- There are a few other names out there but it is all up in the air. I know if we want to dethrone the O we will need a solid conservative candidate who is going to produce real change, not the same old canned political crap we've been getting for the past 18 years.
