Flipping
through the channels on Thursday night I couldn’t help but watch the debates,
backstabbing, manipulation, empty words, and downright stupidity that some
people feel is the right thing to say to get them ahead in the game. It didn’t
matter if I was watching Big Brother or the Republican primary debate, the same
observation holds true. With that said, the roster of candidates would also
make for quite the interesting season of Big Brother. While there are a few
good people in each that have the right mindset and perception to make a
positive difference, there are also the ones on the media stage that are just
there for the few minutes of fame.
I
don’t hide the fact that I am an ardent Republican but I can’t help but look at
some of the unqualified, inexperienced, and downright liberal politicians on
the stage and wonder what they have against this party that makes them want to
handicap the process so badly. I had this perspective long before the debates
began and I feel proven correct now that this first round has concluded. But
what still baffles me is the support that is still on display even after the last
question is posed.
Do
you really think that Trump would do anything else besides declare bankruptcy
as soon as he takes office? Do you really believe Christie is a conservative
given his liberal track record? Can you really see a third Bush being anything
but a disappointing shell of Republican? Does the brilliance of Carson
translate to politics?
It
is because of these questions that I can’t support any of those candidates.
While not the most effective, the loudest, or even the most eloquent, I still stand with Rand. As I previously wrote, I would like to see a Paul/Rubio ticket
and after this past week I feel that is still the right choice. Paul continues
to supports the rights of the people, defending against the infringements of
the government while Rubio brings the eloquence and personal experience to
which many can relate. It is an interesting combination and one that is far
more genuine than any of the others on stage.
It
will be intriguing to see how this all plays out and how the remaining debates
continue to shape the campaigns. I doubt that my opinions will change before
the time the election comes around and I am just hoping that the right
candidates make it to the final ballot. Of course, anyone is better than what
is being offered from the other side of the aisle… even Donald Trump. And since
they are already such supports of big brother, it would be interesting to see
the liberals locked in that house.
