Economy

I have said a few times that I believe Romney is the best candidate to help the economy. Now due to some people borrowing more money than they could repay. This has caused people to change spending habits. I am a little surprised at the last quarter. Usually Christmas shopping picks up the economy a little and it appears American children may not have had a great Christmas. Again I believe Romney is the only one that can make major progress in the economy.

As far as Democrats go I am beginning to be more impressed with Obama every time I hear him. I understand he has some issues. They all do. But things must change in America. We can't have the same people running our country. I think it is time to make a big change. Obama fits that bill.

I also am disgusted at one thing. Senators who have grand ideas and saying bills need to be done to do this and that. That is their current job. Why do I have to wait over a year for this much needed legislation. I don't think they want to introduce the legislation due to the fact that they know that either it won't pass or people won't like the law. But they want us to believe it will work, even if it will not. This is why Americans don't trust politicians. They say stuff to get elected that they know won't work. Clinton is really bad at this.

What a day?

My wife has been very sick. Her pain is starting to get worse. This is always an issue with people who are fighting cancer. She was supposed to be gone before Halloween, but is still here and has been doing well. I always fear the end coming soon. I am not ready to be a single father of 3.

My youngest has been sick. He had a stomach virus and has been throwing up a small amount of blood. He seems to be better now. I had him read a lot over the last couple days. Due to my wife being sick all my kids have not gotten the educational help that is required for a child to succeed in today's educational world. Hopefully we will get caught up when things become somewhat normal. Whenever that is.

Clinton won NH and so did Mcain. Here is my feelings. People need to look at electability. Each party needs to take a long look. Since I don't want congress and the White House controlled by the same party I am wanting to vote Republican. Issue is what Republican is winning. I have a few people I don't want to see in the Oval Office. Clinton, Guiliani, Huckabee. These three scare me. especially Clinton with a Democratic Congress. Remember how bad things were during Bill's first 2 years? I saw where Huckabee slammed Mormons during a Southern Baptist Convention. I said anyone who is so outwardly discriminatory towards any large group wouldn't get my support. I am giving Mcain a bye on what his mom said. I know Arizona has a lot of Mormons. I can't support him due to this.

Back to electability. I think the only Republican that could win is Mcain. He could beat Clinton. He is not pushing the Christian agenda. I think America is sick of faith based politics. I am and so are many Christians. I don't think any Republican can beat Obama or Edwards. I think Romney could help our economy like no other. He would have great new ideas and could probably fix the issues of our tax code as well as loopholes better than anyone. He would be able to work with Dems better than Huckabee too. Dems need to elect Obama. I think Republicans fear Obama because they can't beat them.
