Tuesday was an amazing day for people in the Romney campaign and those of us who are frightened about where our country is heading. My own personal story is I am 20 years old and I'm looking for work, mainly in the Retail/Technical world being I'm not through with College. I dropped out at a young age, I remember how hard it was to find a job back then and complaining about how no one would hire me because of my age. Now, it's still the same, despite having four years of full time employment experience, retail, technical, customer service, and a year of college under my belt. Nonetheless, the solution is simple; elect Mitt Romney.
There's not a doubt in my mind when I say I'm behind Mitt Romney. Never has my allegiance nor my will faltered when it has come to Mitt Romney and that is because I know that we have come to a time where we need to let Politicians sit in the backseat and allow a businessman to take the helm. Mitt Romney is a businessman. Look at what we've got now sitting in the seat of the Presidency having a community organizer. There's nothing better than turning on the news and seeing race relations starting to recede, nothing like seeing the war on Women, or the war on Gays, or the multi-wars on Religion. I want to turn on the television and see the war on Debt. That's the only thing every American has in common, Republican, Democrat, Conservative, Liberal, Libertarian, Vegetarian, College Student, Muslim, Catholic, Christian, Mormon, Buddhist, Jedi, or Sith... We all suffer because of this deficit.
Yes, I know, this has nothing to do with Newt Gingrich, I'm getting there. Hold on! Anyways, there's not a single doubt in my mind, nor many Americans right now that Mitt Romney is going to be the nominee for the Republican Party. That is a given. Now the question is about the ease of setting this in stone. That is where I call upon you all to thank Newt Gingrich. I am not too worried about Newt getting out any longer because he hasn't been attacking Mitt in the spotlight he had been. I look forward to Newt Gingrich backing Romney and I cannot wait to see him become a political attack dog on the Obama administration come this Summer.
In recent days, mainly the past day, Santorum staffers and backers of him have called for Gingrich to leave the race and give his delegates to Santorum. Thank you Newt Gingrich for saying no! For once you've said no. You hadn't said no to the first staffer you slept with on your first wife, nor the second, but finally the word no has entered your vocabulary. Rick Santorum is bad for the party, he's leaving a stain on what little credibility people may have about the two parties. There is a reason that Americans have unfavorable views on the US Government at the moment. We elect you, and once you're in office you forget about your promises, you forget about your constituents, only until it's time for a re-election in which case you then start back tracking and getting back to why you could and couldn't do certain things.
This is a simple rant. A single whisper in the pool of voices that are not only excited for November, but excited to take this country back.
We as American Citizen's have various freedoms that in Today's day and age seem to be disappearing. One of the key features of being a citizen of the United States of America is the ability to voice ones opinion and to speak ones mind. This is my blog to talk about the opinions I've come to form over the years.

Personal Update - America's Health Care Debate
I would like to apologize to any fans or faithful watchers for not having an update the past few days. Please believe me when I say it was hard going without internet on my laptop especially with three major primaries happening on Tuesday. Let me take this moment to thank each and every one of you has helped to pave the way for Mitt Romney on his road the the Presidency.
I would, oddly enough, like to give a shout out to another individual who has helped Romney and that is Rick Santorum. The reason I say he has helped, if Rick Santorum were a serious candidate he would not have so many feet in his mouth rather he would be talking about the 'issues' and not enlightening us upon his issues.
Rick Santorum is a family man. He is a strong Catholic. He is a conservative. He endorsed Mitt Romney in 2008. The problem is... Rick Santorum is also a hot headed, loud mouthed moron who will be remembered as the man that cost us the election if we lose in November. Had he stepped out maybe, 200 of Mitt Romney's delegates ago, Romney would be collecting money for a general primary run right now and not collecting money to beat Santorum in what appears to be an uncontested race now.
Rick Santorum should be considered a VP on Obama's ticket this run around, it would be perfect.
Now on to the real issue of the day. President Barack Obama had made reference to "activist judges" which is ironic because we've been talking about that for almost forty years now. He made reference that these people who are not elected, who are in for life, get to shoot down a law that has been passed constitutionally.
Really? Is that so Mr. President? Then let us talk about the Constitutionality of the very law you claim to pass. Let us talk about HOW you passed the law huh? Let us talk about how NOT A SINGLE MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OR SENATE HAS READ IT IN IT'S ENTIRETY. It took Ted Kennedy dying to get a Republican in the Senate in Massachusetts. Out of fear the health care fiasco, this terrible bill that has it's constitutionality being questioned, was passed as swiftly as Democrats could get it shoved down our throat.
The issue I personally have... I really do enjoy the idea of a voucher system. We at the moment are completely and utterly broke. We are on the verge of bankruptcy and yes, I would love to give everyone Health Care so let me tell you how I would personally run the issue if I were a President/Politician drafting the bill that I think would serve Conservatives and Liberals, Republicans and Democrats.
First off, any bill that is more than 50 pages in length is too complex and needs to be brought down. I personally would like the most compact, simplistic way of doing things. I believe a voucher system and the ability to let Health Care compete against state lines would not only lower the price of Health Care but allow people to choose their own health care by picking an insurance company. Give them the ability to use a voucher that gives the insurance companies x amount of money each year on that individual.
I'm not entirely sure how much money we spend a year on individuals who are uninsured that go to the doctors or hospital but I would be willing to say that if the Government were able to give each individual a check that could not be traded, that could not be given to anyone but a health care provider/insurance company, that we would be able to lower costs. This would also help companies because a company that is no longer paying out for health insurance for an employee now has more money to hire more employees.
This circle of logic is amazing. The bill could even be written under a page. Real simple. "Each U.S. citizen shall hereby be presented $2,500 in the form of a Health Care wager and will therefor be able to shop for their own Health Care." And the best part, there are insurance companies in each state that for individuals costs less than this. When I was paying for Health Care it was $900 a year. If an individual like myself who very rarily goes to the doctor's then hands in the voucher and the company is only billing $900, the government now has an additional $1,600 left. They can either give it all to the insurance company or they can simply let it sit and collect interest/money.
No political party wants to say individuals shouldn't have insurance. No political party wants to say, "We'd rather you lose your home, your job, and children's financial assets than to save yourself from cancer." The reason politicians pick certain battles are exactly the way they're put to task in their bills. I challenge you, pick a Politician and look at their track record, see why they said no on certain bills that made you think that maybe they're a flip flopper. Some Politicians will blatantly tell you, "I would vote for it had it not been for this one line." Sometime's Politicians will slide an earmark into a bill.
Now the reason the Obamacare is unconstitutional is it forces the US Citizens to purchase a product. Those that refuse to purchase this product are liable to pay a tax, or a penalty, depends on what the complaints of the day tend to be whether it's a tax or a tax penalty. We all know what it really is though, it's unconstitutional and it will be overturned.

Santorum's War on the Media
Newt Gingrich instantly became a front runner when he attacked the media. To his credit, it was a very successful move. Now it appears that Santorum is attempting to attack the media, only, I don't think he realizes he's attacking the wrong one.
It started a few months ago when Drudge Report pulled up a speech about Santorum to a religious group back in 2008 talking about Good and Evil. Santorum criticized Drudge Report for doing such. Now this isn't a matter of whether or not they support Mitt Romney or whether they don't approve of Santorum, it's about doing what's right.
At the moment we have FOUR candidates running for the nomination of the Republican Party. One of which you can disqualify immediately because as much as Ron Paul has some good policies, he doesn't have a chance. Now we move onto Newt Gingrich, you'd have to be bat shit crazy to vote for him. The next candidate is Santorum who, he and Gingrich refuse to pull out of the election. It is hard to believe that Santorum doesn't seem to understand why lead Republicans and Republican oriented media may be being harsh on him. Both he and Gingrich should have been out of the race after Super Tuesday.
Santorum has in recent days attacked Drudge Report, criticizing them for their Pro-Romney support. He also at a recent stop had some words to say to the people in the hometown of Fox News' Greta Van Susteren.
Why he would attack Greta is beyond me, she's the only person in the Media who still treats him like he's a SOMEBODY. This is getting ridiculous... Link to this video via YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh0sbXhSWb4
It's not going to work Mr. Santorum... You don't attack the media for informing Americans on your failed attempt at running for President. Sorry!
