I honestly do not know where my gay friend’s heads are.  They actually think that Obama is going to get something done.  He certainly will get something done all right.  First off…full disclosure; I am a gay out and proud man and a staunch fiscal log-cabin conservative (Yes, I am somewhat alone in this world).

To give the POTUS one ounce of praise on this issue absurd.   First, he has done absolutely nothing about this but condemn it for three and a half years.  Now, in a very calculated manner he has taken this very sensitive issue and, with the help of the hypocrites in Hollywood, thrown it in the face of those with dissenting views.  I want marriage equality, not because it is thrown in someone’s face…not because it is the politically correct thing to do, but because the people “believe” it to be right and just.  Of course there will always be folks that disagree on this issue.  And I understand why they do.   But at least we have been able to have civil discussion about this much more so over the past decade than ever.  Things were looking up.  Hate crime laws were passed.  But now….now, we have Obama…for the pure political gain of a few votes and mostly campaign funds this issue is thrown in the face of those with opposite or questioning views.  And what are we going to get.  Just think of how a rat acts when backed into a corner.  This has done absolutely nothing but really…and I mean really piss people off, on both sides.  More-so for those that oppose this.  True enough it is spurring conversation and that is good.  I have seen and witnessed a shift in attitudes to the detriment of the fight for equal rights for the GLBT community in my place of employment almost overnight because of this.   This issue is deeper than racial or female equality ever was, not bigger…just deeper. (in my humble opinion of course).   It cuts across all ethic classes.  I am firmly convinced that Obama politicizing yet another issue has done just the opposite of what the GLBT community wants.  I again say…the only reason Obama even did this was to 1) get votes and 2) get votes and finally 3) to get votes.

Shame on your Mr. President for taking such important issues as this and dividing the nation even further than you already have, which until last week I didn’t think possible.  Worse than you losing my vote Mr. President, you now have completely lost my respect.  Again full disclosure…this definitely was not the only reason for losing my vote.

I truly believe that Obama and his hypocritical morons in Hollywood have moved this argument for the GLBT community back 10 years.  At the same time, oddly enough to me, many of my gay friends are so blinded by Obama’s awesomeness and stuck in their gay world they cannot see this.  When I finally am able to have a rational conversation with them, every time their eyes are opened.  Some just a smidgen and others a lot.  A true leader would have invited open discussion about these issues on both sides and help led Americans towards a “fair” consensus. Why wasn’t a methodical concise approach taken.  Why not be a true leader and come to the opposing side with compassion and understanding for their position by someone that “said” they truly believed in the issue.  Not now boy.  But I forget…I’m asking Obama to be a leader.  The opportunity is gone!!   This is a sad sad day for the GLBT community.  They’ll soon wake up and see where our rainbow did not end at the pot of gold…but ended in the toilet with Obama.  For now anyway.

At least with Mr. Romney, while I do not 100% agree with his position I do respect it.  I just wish more news outlets (real news outlets) would properly report on Mr. Romney’s “complete” position.  Moreover, this very small issue of equality for GLBT to marry pales in comparison to the real issues that face this nation.  While Obama can try to shift focus all he wants, the American People know and feel the truth.

Irony: OSAMA – United the Country.  OBAMA – Divided this Country.

After the Travon Martin incident, and as many lame-stream media pundits tout their racial biased crap, and after Obama and friends inject their self with more racial divide, we have two black boys who douse a 13 y/o white boy with gas, lite him on fire while hollering, this is what you deserve white boy.  WHERE WERE YOU AT ON THIS OBAMA.  

Both situations are truly shameful.  And thanks to Obama for injecting more racial hatred into this country, Travon Martins memory has been completely disrespected and drug through the trough of shame and racism.  

“Police in Kansas City, Missouri said they are investigating the alleged assault as a possible hate crime. Investigators said the assault took place as the teen walked home from East High School.”

Four years of this person as the leader of the Greatest Nation on earth is four years to much.  With as much hatred and anger as I see every day, and with each passing day its only growing worse, I sincerely believe that four more years of this man in office will lead this great nation to a 2nd civil war.  Modeled exactly after the 1st one!

And, he is running on the republican Ticket.  Romney says his campaign is solely for the middle class.  Seriously.  Where are you at republicans.  When did the Republican Party move away from helping to create the environment that boosts the poor out of poverty into a position to help create their own American Dream.   This; after Romney deceives an entire state and nation that he was a Pro-Choice Moderate.  And, this is the guy we want as President.   Mark my words and I’m not alone in this thought.  A vote for Romney is another vote for Obama.

Prior to Mitt Romney’s run for Gov. of Mass., he polled the Mass., people to determine their overall stance on Abortion.  Finding out the state was a pro-choice state, he told his church that he was going to run on a pro-choice platform.  The only thing one can conclude from this is that Romney will say or do anything to Win.  Now that he has been the Gov.., he now wants the Presidency.  And now he is saying that he had a change of faith based on DNA evidence.  BS!   So he was Pro-Life, then Pro-Choice to win Mass and now he wants to be Pro-Life again to win the White House.  My concern is not about the issue of abortion.  That is a fight for another day.   My issue is this:  How can he or anyone defend running on this opportunistic platform.   How can he win against Obama on this.   Only to be followed up by the fact that RomneyCare was IN FACT a blueprint for Obama Care.  Romney Care obliterates the GOP mandate argument against Obamacare in Primary.   How….How can the GOP get past these two issues.   THEY CANNOT!!!   There is absolutely NO WAY for ROMNEY to win against Obama.  Yet…he still has the momentum.  WHY….MONEY from his Wall-Street Fat Cat Friends.   You think that the Washington Establishment/Elite is bad….you haven’t seen anything until you deal with the Wall Street Elite.  Newt is certainly feeling it right now.

Newt Gingrich is the only hope for the GOP to win the Presidency in 2012.  A vote for Romney is a vote for Obama.  Mark my words.  I pray that each one of you that may read this, make the right decisions.  WAKE UP PEOPLE….DON’T BE BOUGHT OFF BY MITT’S MONEY.   WE’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THAT CRAP IN WASHINGTON ALREADY.

Newt and Mitt are very close in most all issues.  Move On Already!  The biggest issue:  Reduce spending.  I believe the primary difference between the two candidates is the way in which they will implement or persuade congress and the senate to follow their agenda of Reducing Costs and Cutting Regulation. So the only questions to ask of Newt or Mitt is , How Much Will You Cut, Where will you cut, and the absolute most important of all HOW FAST will true reform changes, etc., will be implemented.

Romney:  Knows how to cut departments and spending.  His position at Bain Capital proves that.  Thereis no question about that.  Over my 50 years of life, I have seen venture capital companies restructure and re-build or close many companies.  Scale them down to the bones and if it is a good product, it will rebound and grow.  If not, sell the assets and move on.  The primary goal is to cut and cut quickly to minimize risk with the worse case being liquidation.  Know is saying that is bad.  It provides vital roles in our enomy.  However, is that the way you want the U.S. to be handled and polices enacted over the next four years.  I will leave for you to decide.  That doesn’t sound bad.   Or, is it?

Newt Gingrich: 1994 Time man of the year for leading the way of bring back the house to the Republican Party after 40 years.   FORTY YEARS!!!  While he was House speaker, the House enacted welfare reform, passed a capital gains tax cut in 1997, and in 1998 passed the balanced budget since 1969.  Newt knows how to coalesce or bring together people for big common causes.   He knows how the economy works and he knows how to implement much needed sweeping reform without killing the American
People.

Both positions will get us where we want to go. With a shoot-gun that is quick and messy (Mitt) or like a bowling ball which is more
steady, heavy and reaches its goal and scatters the mess out of the way (Newt).  So…it’s a gun or a bowling ball.

Everything else is a completely mute point. Now…choose how you want the next four years to go.  You decide.  I have.
