Show me the money!

That seems to be Mitt Romney’s stance when he claimed that Mike Huckabee’s campaign would have to raise an additional $20,000,000 this quarter to be in the so called “top tier.”  I don’t know about you, but Romney continues to give me new reasons nearly every day why I DON’T want to vote for him!  Washington is so over-run with money-hoarding politicians, why would we want to continue the cycle?  I would rather vote in my president by the issues than how much money they can raise in the first half of the race and then have to be burdened to hear the lies that they try to play off after receiving the party nomination.  I want to see a change in the presidency.  I want to see a president who is more concerned about the people they will be serving than the money those people have to give.  I want to see a president who doesn’t try to win people over with outlandish campaign promises rather knows the limitations of the presidency and respects those limits, still accomplishing the goals they set out to better the people and country as a whole.  I spoke before about not speaking my support for anyone until just recently because I was waiting to see if anyone would actually be worthy of that support (which extends to my friends and family full force) and I was watching and waiting with an open mind to see if the candidates were going to be true to their word or fall into the unfortunate category of the typical “dirty politician.”  I was sorely disappointed as I began to have some hope for several candidates (even a couple democratic candidates) and on the surface, most things looked pretty good.  The deeper I got, the worse it got.  Then I found past Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee.  I have not heard him say anything that he can not support with later action.  He knows the seriousness of the issues we are facing in todays society and doesn’t shy away from dealing with them head on.  I know that there are flaws in every person and most people expect the president to be perfect (despite the fact that they are just the same as the rest of us, only elected into their job), but from research and a critical eye, Mike Huckabee ($20,000,000 shy of the “top tier” or not) is the best man for the job, hands down.

  1. Mitt Romney looks too much like Nathan Petrelli from Heroes to me. ;)

    And I’d like to see a President keep campaign promises that I voted them in for, too.
