Personal Rantings and Complaints: Thank Gingrich for Not Being An Angry Little Girl...

By Christopher Mason  
Thank Gingrich for Not Being An Angry Little Girl... 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.

Romney and the Wisconsin Response





Sunday, April 1, 2012


BY CHRISTOPHER MASON


The Wisconsin Republican Primary is only a few days away and former Governor Mitt Romney has received multiple endorsements this week that will no doubt have pushed him closer to winning this election and hopefully, closer to the Presidency. One of the questions that comes with these endorsements is, why now?

Well the answer to that is simple enough, why not? Wisconsin moved their primary up from where it normally would have been. This means that not only is it rare for Wisconsin to make a difference but this election in it's own has been different for most of the states were proportional. This means that whoever got X amount of the vote would also receive X amount of the delegates up for state from that state. 

This is different in comparison to Wisconsin which is a winner takes all state. Rick Santorum just weeks ago was leading Romney in Wisconsin which is a relatively blue collar state. The endorsement from Marco Rubio comes at a crucial time for Mitt Romney and it will help him capitalize on the failing campaigns of Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum. 

This week alone Newt Gingrich has let go of 1/3rd of his staff, and his campaign staff manager. He swears that this will help him on his path to the nomination but the problem that many see here is that the Republican party is at odds with themselves. As a precursor, Newt Gingrich has also said that he expects Rick Santorum and himself will welcome Mitt Romney as the nominee with open arms if he can get to that magic delegate count. What I, nor many others who are watching this campaign, can understand is why are you even dragging this race out? Why doesn't Newt and Rick Santorum just back out now and give Mitt Romney the nomination. (We all know he's going to be the nominee.)

Marco Rubio endorsing Mitt Romney when he did, shortly after Rick Santorum's rant about his words being taken out of context and something about bullshit, comes at a pivotal time. Rick Santorum has been referenced as before, a hot head. He has at various times fueled the argument by many on the left that we stick to our religion and that's that. He is a terrible candidate. Religion is not supposed to be forced upon someone else and you can see that with Mitt Romney, he doesn't force Mormonism on us.

When Mitt Romney was governor of my state her in MA he didn't force candy taxes the way our current governor has contemplated, same with soda, we now have a new tax on beer, which for Mitt Romney would have been easy things to do because as a Mormon he doesn't like taking anything that would effect the human body such as sugar, caffeine, tobacco, ect., If Rick Santorum was not so radical he might have had a chance, but now with all these key endorsements coming out it helps to play with the fact that Romney can energize the base. 

The best endorsement right now for Mitt Romney is the endorsement of Congressmen Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. This is a big endorsement, maybe even bigger than that of Marco Rubio and the only reason I say that is Rubio did not endorse when Romney was running for Florida or even Puerto Rico which it may have helped to sway it a little more. Paul Ryan endorsed a little under a week of the Wisconsin Primary which does help to shape those who take what their legislators recommend at face value. This also is great for those people who are on the fence and really like Paul Ryan and hearing him back Romney over Santorum, it does show that Santorum's credibility is gone. 

Mitt Romney has stated he believes he is going to win the Wisconsin Primary. At the moment, Romney has estimated 565 delegates. He is almost halfway there to the 1,144 needed to win the nomination. The District of Columbia and Maryland also have primaries on Tuesday and Mitt Romney is expected to win all of them bringing him closer to the nomination. Then later on in the month states like Connitecut, New York, and Rhode Island are all projected to go to Mitt Romney with Pennsylvania being a large toss up state.

Here's to hoping, best wishes Governor Romney!
