Round 1 to the good ol boys

Well, round 1 in the political arena goes to the good 'ol boys, with Mitt Romney's announcement that he is bowing out of the race. To "Mormon, conservatives, It boils down to " we'll take your money, we'll take your votes but we won't back your candidate!" I admire him for recognizing and being willing to do this for the good of the conservative movement and for the American people!!!. I don't know if any of ya'all got the chance to listen to his speech just a few minutes ago, I did and my admiration for the man(not the Mormon) grew by leaps and bounds. I'm thinkin' that if he made this speech a month ago when he was still in the campaign, it may not have come to this today. He is a very brilliant, insightful, unselfish leader. I'm not sure where the conservative wing of the republican party is going to find their man because McCain is way to quick to side with the liberals to be called a true conservative and Huckabee has not shown me any reason to call him a conservative other than his Christian faith. I have to ask myself, what if, what if Sean Hannity and some of the other talk show hosts would have thrown their endorsements to Romney a month ago instead of so recently? What if Mitt Romney was a Methodist, or a Lutheran or even an agnostic? What if more of the "conservatives in America" would have supported what most political experts call the best man for the job, when looking at qualifications, experience, ideas and most of all values..What if.........

The 10 Commandments-Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan once asked what the 10 Commandments would have been like if  God had run them through congress! rather than Moses..
Mr. Reagan had a way of making one think about life. There would have been way more than 10 and there would have been "attachments" and they would have been called "suggestions" rather than commandments. After all, the word "Commandments" just isn't politically correct. The golden image would have been of the elephant and the Mule.Maybe end to end like a Minotaur and would be called the "mulephant."
Looks like "Popeye" McCain has the leg up on Mitt and the rest of the republicrats.McCain seems to be saying the right things but his history speaks for itself.  Conservative? Not hardly but he is the atypical politician. McCain/ Fiengold -- just a quick reminder. Campaign finance or campaign restrictions. doesn't sound like freedom and the American way to me. Where's superman when we need him. He rode of in to the sunset and all that remains is the darkness! Thank God for Joe Lieberman to balance things out in congress.I like Mitt Romney and then maybe Joe Lieberman for VP. I think 'ol Joe is the most honorable politician in congress right now. (just my personal opinion) but that will be my write in if Mitt doesn't get the nod. The choice between Obama and Hillary. How about spinach and Castor oil. Ya, you get the picture now. I do appreciate Popeye's service to this country but i think the torture he received in the jungles of Vietnam have had a lingering effect. (besides that his wife isn't a real blond!)..

I have to admire Sean Hannity. He has finally endorsed the man that he feels is best qualified to lead this country. No, he didn't jump on the front-runner bandwagon-he trusted to his conscience and jumped on Mitt's wagon. Mitt has the horsepower, but the road ahead is rough and muddy and gettin' muddier each day. Next Tuesday will be the line in the sand.
I'll get off my soapbox and close with another one from Mr. Reagan:
'The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'
Happy Trails, y'all...................................

Sorry, no pictures this time around.
