SPECIAL POST
We're just two weeks from the Iowa primaries and ready to begin a six-month primary season. The time has come for me to stick my next out and make an endorsement.
The problem is that, like you, I don't have the warm fuzzies for any current Republican in the field. Yet, one has to make a pick. It is much easier for me to say who I don't like: Romney, the closet liberal and Perry, the Bush III. The ones I consider worthy of mention are Gingrich and Bachmann; Paul is just too radical for the country at this time. The rest are yawners.
So, that gets me to Bachmann. I just don't think she has the horsepower to be President. I like her and her ideals, but Obama has saddled this country with enormous problems as a result of his gross mismanagement. I can't see Bachmann working her way through them. But, she IS my second choice.
That leaves us with Newt. Newt CAN out-debate Obama. Newt has some good ideas. Yes, he does have some baggage, but far less than Romney as far as I am concerned. And, if we do our job and get rid of the irresponsible and non-responsive members of Congress, (95% of them), we should have a fresh Congress willing to keep the President in line and to work with him toward resolving these big issues. Gingrich has a proven track record of working with both sides of the aisle in getting things done.
There is a caveat to this endorsement, so I will word it this way: Given the current candidates for the Presidency, I endorse Newt Gingrich. He's the best overall candidate of the lot. And that, if you examine each of them carefully as I have been doing, is a very logical conclusion.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
