Greetings from the road! I am fairly certain that the laptop has breathed its last and so I am writing this and future posts on my mobile phone for now as I do not have enough money to just march right out and buy a new laptop. So if the formatting looks a little funny or I don't catch as many misspelled words please forgive me, I am without several of the tools that I am used to having.
I was listening to the Roadgunner podcast yesterday, and as always found myself agreeing a lot with what Chaz was saying. By the way, if you are interested at all in guns, your second amendment rights, trucking, or traveling and eating, I strongly encourage you to listen to his podcast at http://roadgunnerpodcast.com.
As I was saying I was listening and was a little dismayed to hear him state that if Ron Paul did not win the nomination for the presidency from the Republican party that he would vote for him as a third party candidate in the general election.
Now, I like Chaz, he and I have exchanged several E-mails and even though I have never met the man race to face I do respect him and his opinions. However I cannot endorse this particular line of thought.
Tomorrow starts the selection process for the Republicans with the Iowa caucuses. Ron Paul is polling well and dies have an outside shot at winning. I will also state that I support him in his effort and plan to vote for him if he is still in the running when the South Dakota primary rolls around. However if Mr. Paul is not the eventual nominee when the Republican convention rolls around in the fall, I will vote for whoever is on the Republican ticket.
Anyone who is in their late 30s will remember when Bill Clinton won his first presidential election. It was a 3 way race with George Bush Sr. and H. Ross Perot. Perot, was able to siphon enough votes away from Bush that Clinton was able to take the presidency with a minority of the popular vote. (maybe the giant sucking sound that Perot kept hearing was the votes that he was taking away from Bush)
As much as I disliked Clinton I will give him this, he was a centrist in a lot of ways. And not everything that he did was entirely bad. Today, however we have Barak Obama in the White House and things are quite different. President Obama has outspent his predicessors at an alarming rate, while forcing a poorly crafted socialist medical plan down the public's throat. I will get into specifics of why what he is doing is bad for the country a lot more in future posts when I am not typing on a cell phone keyboard, but suffice it to say that I believe that if we get another 4 years of Obama we may not be able to financially survive.
So it comes to this. The next president will likely choose between 2 and 4 Supreme Court justices. If Obama wins in November he cannot run for re-election. He will be free to go as far left as he likes. Forget socialisim, he will be able to swing all the way over to communisim!
My plan therefore is to support Ron Paul right up to the convention. If he wins fantastic! If not I implore him and you to join me in electing whoever wins the Republican nomination the next president of the United States.
Well that is it for tonight. As usual thank you for your time and I'll see you down the road.
