With the up and coming primary election, the field of republican contenders seems to be a mix of political has beens’, mashup of ideas and posturing for those within the party to vote for them. No longer is the matter that the independent voter hears a clear message from each of them but rather a mixed bag of messages that seem to be talking the same talk and walking the same walk as the liberals they are trying to win against.
The real problem is with the conservative movement and the some of the tea party crowd. I for one don’t view them as what was classified as a conservative, using Kirk’s six canons of Conservatism but rather more or less left of center group who seems to be dictatorial in the same manner as liberals who are far left of center.
Take any social subject without the spin, say like same sex marriage. It looks like the “left” wants to allow people to be like everyone else, OK I can live with that to a point not because I believe in “Gay” marriage but rather I believe there should never be an boundaries to what anyone does with their property or who they include in their lives. I will expand on that later, but it seems the conservative socialistas wants to control that behavior, and tell people what to do that is, through the same method that they scream the left does, have an intrusive government enforce a law or laws created to change the behavior. Some even go so far, as a couple Republican candidates indicated, to want to change the Constitution in order to prevent any social change.
I have to ask why would anyone want to change the constitution like this on a trivial matter?
But it isn’t just that.
I see nothing in the way of helping the country get back on its feet, or at least stop stooping down. I read their positions and outside of Ron Paul and Herman Cain, no one has any real good ideas and it seems they are all talking like a typical politician.
Pretty much most of them are trying to beat Obama by trying to be Obama.
Maybe as a nation, we should look at Ron Paul or Herman Cain or look for someone who is appealing with the right message that is consistent and not fluffed.
