The Democrats Real Plan

Branding, front face, media exposure, popularity, well known, recognizable, are all part of a good media campaign. Is that why Hillary Clinton is the DNC party nomination for United States President?

Under normal circumstances, a person with a lot of bad publicity, and I mean a lot as with Hillary Clinton, this would not be an idea person to be the front face of a campaign. So why did the DNC really make her their nomination? Is it because she is a woman and that will bring in votes? Is it her history in politics (which is not the best according to both Dems and Reps)?

The candidate.

Hillary Clinton has the branding, well known, easily recognizable both by name and by picture, has had a lot of media exposure (good and bad) for over a decade. These reasons alone make her a good choice. Plus she has political experience, good and bad, but she has the experience at some of the highest levels of government offices. Again, these add up to a good reason for her to be a candidate.

Sell the candidate to the voters.  Get the public/voters behind the candidate, rile them up, pump them up, get them to the point the candidate can do no wrong.  Then, because of health issues the candidate, Hillary Clinton, has to back out at the last minute.  The ideal and best democrat for the position of president is…. Mr. Kaine but because he is virtually unheard of through most of the United States, on his own, he would not stand a chance to win a DNC nomination for president. But if Hillary was to back out, the DNC has the option/responsibility to choose her replacement.

Mr. Kaine has already been endorsed as Hillary’s running mate, a good reason to pick him.  Now add an endorsement by Hillary herself, all of her voters would gladly follow her lead and vote for Mr. Kaine.

Wait…

It’s to late, it’s to close to voting time because in some states absentee ballots are already mailed, in other cases ballots are already printed and about to be mailed. Now what? It’s to late to put Mr. Kaine’s name on the ballots and remove Mrs. Clinton’s. Electoral votes. That’s right, the voters themselves would not be able to vote because Mrs. Clinton’s name is on the ballot. So the voting for president is done by the electoral college which would take all of the voting for our next president out of the public’s hands. What does this mean? Politicians would elect our next president.

Scared?

Does this scare you? It should. Although the electoral votes are suppose to represent the people, if the people have not had a chance to “tell” – vote who they want, how is the electoral college suppose to know? They don’t. They vote as they please. Could they go by the last few public poles done by survey? Yes they could, but which one do they use? Not all the public poles offer the same results. As of now, depending on the pole you are quoted, Hillary Clinton is ahead or in others Donald Trump is ahead.

In essence, the politicians decide who they want for president. And we, have to live with the results. So where is the “people’s” choice? There isn’t a “we the people” choice, it would rely solely on the electoral college.

Is this the plan?

So is this the plan? Does the democrat party feel they would have a better chance of getting another democrat president into office in this manner?

By all rights, in my opinion, Mr. Kaine is a better choice for president than Mrs. Clinton. Mr. Kaine’s political views are not governed by the democrats “by laws” or rules. As a governor and senator, Mr. Kaine’s political career has show he does not follow all of the ideals laid out as a far left democrat. His ideals and past political record shows he falls somewhere in the middle and at times even agreeing with some republican views. Is he a democrat? Oh most definitely, but he tends to side with and fight for the people and what is right for the majority not for himself or for the powers above him.

Or…

Maybe it’s none of the above and Mrs. Clinton is not going to drop out of the race.  Maybe the idea behind this whole election is to position Mr. Kaine in the public’s eye for president in 2020.

Whoopi, Just The Facts Mama’

Why is it when someone has nothing to support their opinion and are NOT willing to listen to facts, they make up “facts” by saying only half truths or taking a subject and modifying to fit their opinion?
I am so tired of hearing just the half truths or only enough of the “facts” so that someone can use them to insinuate the facts stand for something they really don’t. It’s annoying, it’s the same as lying because the people knowingly do this and try to pass it off as “true fact”.
Are you really that insecure of your opinion and lack of knowledge that you have to lie? Some politicians do it all the time.  Especially when the concerns an incumbent. Are they really that afraid of their challenger?
Worse, are the people these lies are being spoke to really that ignorant they can not read between the lines or at the very least can not look up the facts so they can be educated on a particular topic?
Worse yet, people in the public eye or in a position to reach millions of viewers/listeners knowingly twist the facts to make it appear that the person in questions is or was up to no good.
Mr. Romney used his religion as a reason not to be drafted, yet he supports a strong military.  Sounds bad right?  Mr. Romney was doing his 2 – 2 1/2 years of mission service required by his religion.  What he was doing was providing assistance to people in France at a time of high turmoil.  These people were not just French but also Americans and people from other countries that got caught in the middle of all the unrest.
Why are these politicians not being held accountable? I’m not saying it’s every politician or that politicians are the only ones’ that do this, because they are not.
Dear ole, sweet Whoopi is a perfect example.  What is her secret agenda? Why would she purposely ask Mrs. Romney questions that she, Whoopi knew were incorrect?  Is this JUST the way some people are so they can twist known facts to fit their mold?  Is this so they can convince people the opposition is not fit for whatever position they are running for?  This is not the first time Whoopi has done this.  This is not the first time it has been heard of.  What is so bad, (and they know people will bite on to it), people fall for this as fact.  All Whoopi is did was to try to start a teenage drama she said, he said, immature, disrespectful, face slapping lies.
Grow up Whoopi!  Stop telling have truths.  Stop using your position to spread rumors, innuendos, and twisted facts.  For once, tell the facts, all of the facts.  Then give your opinion.  The question should have been, “Was it right for Mr. Romney to stay in France preforming his religious requirements or should he have come home and served in the military?” Mr. Romney did the same as many Americans did…. they helped the world be a better place.
Now, what about the people that joined the Peace Corps or other government recognized foundations to avoid the draft?  What about the people that joined the Peace Corps before the draft and were excused from serving because they were already serving the global community?  Should they have been forced to leave the Peace Corps to serve in the military?  Why is Whoopi not making issue with these people?  Some of these people did/have become politicians.

Rambling On

A very busy day in news today. Three days we have listened and waited for news regarding Giffords and the rest of the survivors in AZ shooting.

However the disheartening issue of all this is the fact the rhetoric coming from all over, media, congressmen and women, and the clueless civilians that actually believe the rhetoric and tend to intensify it as if it touched them personally.
Unfortunately, there was a man with a gun that went on a shoot spree.  Unfortunately, people have died and some are wounded.  Unfortunately, I was not there to help tend to the wounded.  Fortunately, I know how to pray and I have and I will some more.
But stop the rhetoric. This is not a democrat issue nor is it a republican issue.  It is a people issue about Americans.
