I have decided to finally endorse a candidate for President of the United States of America. I initially supported one candidate because of his religious affiliation, but decided against him for several reasons. The only Mormon presidential candidate that would ever get my initial endorsement would be Yeah Samake, who is running for President of Mali. His website is here. Both Romney and Huntsman have several weaknesses that I feel limit them in gaining my endorsement. I feel that Romney has the perception of flip-flopping and the whole Massachusetts medicare problem. I realize the conditions in which he signed the bill and his position in a very left-leaning state. Huntsman is what a Democrat’s dream of what a Republican candidate should be, so that horse never even left the gate.
I realize that people can change as I have certainly done so in my life. I think that Romney certainly has changed as he sees where the country is headed and from where his support stems. I do not necessarily see this as the biggest drawback. He would make an admirable Vice President or even a President if he wins the Republican nomination. I will certainly vote for him in order to expunge the current malignancy occupying the White House. Despite this, I feel that I should back Herman Cain as our next President.
Cain addresses in perhaps the most simplest terms what is currently wrong with our country. It stems from loopholes, regulations, and no confidence in the system. The revamping of the tax code and its simplification is only the first step. We must start to create a business friendly environment so that we can recapture the success that we previously held. It should be easier to start and maintain a business in this country than it currently is and attacking the problem of over-taxation, over-regulation, and knee jerk loyalty to labor will in some ways solve this. Do I feel that Romney can do this? Yes and have no doubt that these are his plans. The American people, however, can be some of the stupidest in the world – just look at the adoring masses in our last presidential voting cycle. We need someone that will make it easy for the sheep to follow the shepherd.
Now, you may be asking yourself why my opinion on this matter may be of any import. My only response is that you are on my blog, reading this post.
I have absolutely no thoughts either way in the 2012 election other than the current POTUS must not win re-election.
That is why I said that I would not give my initial endorsement to Romney. If he wins the nomination, then I will be all in for him. As you say, I am for whomever goes up against Obama.
Unless he re-works the 999 plan, get ready to enjoy a nearly 18% sales tax here in LA if he’s elected.
I know that sounds rather harsh, but it might be necessary. One of the problems that we run into in modern society is people not paying any taxes to the federal govt. Being broke as I am, I include myself in that number. It creates a disconnect – people are not invested in the system. Also, a higher sales tax might make us more a nation of savers and less of consumers. We have a lot of debt to pay off – personally and nationally.
