Which of These GOP Candidates do You Think is the Most Qualified to Become the Next President?

Undecided Voters Make For 'Wide Open' Iowa Race Fox News

Mitt Romney  Newt Gingrich

Ron Paul
 Rick Santorum Michelle Bachmann  Jon Huntsman
 Rick Perry

In just three days, the first presidential race will be underway with the Iowa caucus.  As of right now, polls show former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and Texas Congressman neck-in-neck with one another.  Many polls show Romney with a slight lead over Paul.  A few days later New Hampshire will host its first primary with Mitt Romney leading in that race.  Who will be the candidate that will emerge as the GOP frontrunner?  On different occasions various candidates have seen a surge in their poll numbers.  At one time Texas Governor Rick Perry was one of the top candidates.  Later it was former GOP candidate Herman Cain.  Then Newt Gingrich took the lead as far as the GOP candidates were concerned.  As of right now, many pollsters are projecting that Mitt Romney will receive the Republican nomination next year to face Barack Obama as president of the United States. 

This past year, the GOP candidates have participated in numerous debates.  I have many of the GOP debates posted on this blog.  Consequently, I don't see a GOP candidate that appears to be presidential material.  They don't want to solve the real issues concerning trade amongst nations such as China and they don't want to install a border fence from Texas to California which replicates the border fence that was built from San Diego California, to Tijuana, Mexico.  It's a tragedy that we have the low-quality candidates that we do running against Barack Obama.  Some of them say the right things but they aren't electable.  Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann says that when she wins the presidency, she will repeal Obamacare?  However, she hasn't shown leadership in compiling a group of Republicans in the House of Representatives to defund Obamacare.  If she won't utilize the means at her disposal to defund Obamacare, how am I suppose to expect her to repeal Obamacare as president?  I don't.  She doesn't show leadership to stop Obama's radical socialist agenda.  Former Pennsylvania Senator is right on the moral issues in regards to abortion, but he was a bushpot when George W. Bush was president.  He was very supportive of the Iraq War and didn't call out Bush on how the Iraqi War was prosecuted.  The candidate which I agree with the most overall is Ron Paul, even though I didn't agree with his statement concerning sanctions against Iran.  Paul says that sanctions against Iran are an act of war, which he's wrong about.  I do agree with him about Congress declaring war because the U.S. goes to another country to wage war.  I also agree with him the U.S. needs to mind its own business in regards to the Middle East and other countries in general.  I don't agree with him about Iran.  I do think we need to have tight sanctions against Iran.  There could be a time when the U.S. might need to declare war on Iran.  If the U.S. declares war against Iran, it needs to be a quick and decisive war and troops need to exit Iran as soon as possible.  We don't need another land invasion with troops staying for 10 years.  As far as Paul's statements concerning Congress auditing the Federal Reserve, the appropriate action to take would be for the U.S. to unhook itself from the U.N. and follow the Constitution in regards to the printing of our currency.  Who would audit the FED? Would the "audit" against the FED be accurate and unbiased? 

One of the top issues in America today is the massive deficit and the growth and size of government.  If there's anybody that knows how to operate a business, it's Mitt Romney.  Mitt Romney has had several successful business ventures with Bain Capital for example and he played a major role in the turnaround of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah.  Romney knows all the intricate details revolving around business.  However, the question that needs to be asked in regards to Romney is this: Will Mitt Romney govern using business sense or will he cast all his business knowledge aside and be Mr. Politician?  Will Romney be his own man if elected president or will he be a tool of the puppetmasters or the forces of Nimrod?  I've witnessed politicians casting aside common sense when they enter office to jump on the bandwagon of political correctness.  One of the major problems I have with Romney is the fact he's flip-flopped on positions such as abortion for example.  In the 1994 Senate race against Ted Kennedy, he was supportive of abortion but since he's been governor of Massachusetts he says he's pro-life.  Which side of the abortion debate does he stand?  He appears to be the candidate who's all about pointing his finger in the wind to determine which way the wind blows in regards to the positions he takes.  Another issue that I have with Romney is the fact he passed Romneycare in 2006, which is a state version of government-run healthcare which has proven to be costly to the citizens of Massachusetts.  If you didn't know anything about Mitt Romney's background, would you have believed he knew how to run a business? 

What's startling is that political party affiliation or your personal credentials don't seem to matter anymore.  Regardless of their political affiliation, they all still are supportive of bloated government.  They will go against the grain of common sense and seek to be politically correct.  We don't need another president who will be controlled and manipulated by the forces of Nimrod.  We need a candidate who will stand for the values our Founders held dear.  I haven't yet found the candidate we need to guide this nation for the next four years.
