It has been a while since I have written anything on this blog, and it seems that Tom is getting a little bit tee'd off, since no one has written on here in over a month. So, here I am, I am back. Things have been busy for me, so, I have not found the time to come and write that often, and I even have been slacking on my writing in my other blog on myspace.com. Hopefully, I can get back to writing on a daily basis on both sites, so none of us have to hear Tom complain again. And is that not what this whole thing is about anyway, keeping Tom happy...LOL just kidding buddy!

A lot has been going on in the past few weeks, with the War in Iraq, the upcoming Presidential elections in 2008, and discussions on Tom's myspace blog on the education system. But for now I will keep it simple, I wont throw all the info at you all at once. Plus, if I did that, what would I write about later?

What I really want to talk about today is the elections of 2008, and the importance of electing a Conservative to office. The people that are reading this blog right now probably agree to a large extent with that statement, since we have not really got this blog up and running like all of us had hope it would be by this time. And I am partially to blame for that as well, since I have not written a thing in months. My hope is to grab some people and get them to come to this site regularly, and hopefully it will only grow from there.

The '08 elections will be soon approaching and we are all looking at the candidates and what they may be able to bring to the country, and how maybe they could make it better. I have looked hard on both sides of the isle and found no one really that will take that Conservative ideology and put it to work in things like foreign affairs and also problems we are having here at home. But today my wish came true. Mitt Romney, former Governor of the state of Massachusetts, has thrown himself into the race for the White House, the first CONSERVATIVE to do so with any chance at actually grabbing the nomination. The stage has been set on the Democratic side for a while now, with Hillary Clinton entering the race and also Barack Obama. Those two look to be the ones that will battle it out on the Democratic side of the isle for the chance at the nomination.

There are a few things that worry me though. Not so much Obama, considering all the news of his past with the Muslim religion. Right there may have ended his hopes for a bid. Now, I am not saying just because he is a Muslim does not mean he should be looked down upon.
All I am saying is that i highly doubt the American people will be in favor of a Muslim President, with all the things that are happening in the world today, and with 9/11 still fresh in some peoples minds. I dont want to hear either that he will have a problem because he is black. Now there are people out there that will not vote for this man just because he is black, and that is a shame. I will not vote for him because he is a Liberal, and thats a totally different reason. The way it looks right now, there will either be a women or an African American with the nod for the Democrats, something that has never happened before in this country. We will just have to sit back and watch to see what happens with this. It could become pretty exciting on the Dems side.

The Republican side is a lot more complicated, with John MCcain and Rudy Gulianni heading up the front runners. Now that Mitt Romney is in the mix, we will have to see where those polls go, and see if there is a place for him where there should be. We, as Conservatives, have a obligation to stand by the Conservatives in the Republican party when we can find them. I know they are few and far between, but there are some out there, like Romney, that will need the backing of the base if he is to be elected the next President of the United States. Unfortunately, I do not know if there is that backing for him in the party, with McCain running now, people look at him with such high regard, even though he is so far away from Conservative, I have seen more Democrats with stronger Conservative values, which says something about McCain. I would not go as far as go say he was a Lib on the wrong side of the isle, but he is pretty darn close to it.

And Rudy, well, I have no idea where he even came from for Gods sakes. He was the Mayor of New York, as everyone knows, but after that your guess is as good as mine with what he will do for this country. All I needed to hear was the ramble from an interview he gave a week or so ago, when we was asked about certain issues that have been brought up in this country, like abortion, gun control, ect. His answers were so off the wall I can not believe he even knew what he was talking about, and that was just in an interview. This guy is going to get ripped to shreds in a debate! If I can find a transcript of that interview, that will get posted up later, because I think everyone should here what he has to say.

The only other person that I would love to see run for the Presidency, and that would get my FULL support if and when he would decide to run is Michael Savage. People have been pushing this guy to run for a while now, and it seems like maybe he is considering it. He has a large base from his radio show, but other than that no real political past. But maybe that is what we need in Washington right now. We have given the career politicians a chance at making this country better, and they have failed. They have ripped the family apart and made us unsafe as a whole. They pass laws that do nothing for the state of the Union, yet they want more money for doing it. They spend the majority of their time fighting about the War in Iraq, yet do nothing to try and fix the problems that may be there with the war. The right has to sit there and defend Bush, for obvious reasons, yet they also do nothing to have the war move more smoothly. All of this just screams for a candidate that has no political history to make a strong stand in the next election, but we will have to wait and see.

Hopefully we as a nation can stand up and see that what we are doing now is wrong and get someone in the White House with the courage to stand up for what is right and get this war moving along more rapidly. There are other issues in this country that need dealt with, and at some point we will have to deal with the Iranians, a problem that has been staring us in the face for years now. Hopefully this blog, and also my blog on myspace will help inform you as we go along with the upcoming elections. I am in election mode, so lets see where it will take us.
