Next Republican Candidates?
Comment Up
There has been so much discussion on who will be running for President in the Republican Party. So many names have been tossed out there for us to consider--Rasmussen has the primary polls as Mitt Romney, Ben Carson, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie and Rand Paul. Other polls show Scott Walker, Paul Ryan (it's his birthday today!), Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, Bob Portman and others.
My Prediction:
Although I am crazy about Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio and I love Ben Carson, and there are many more Republicans testing the waters, those who I believe will take the step to be our next president, will be:
Jeb Bush...middle of the road and out of step even though he did a good job as Governor of Florida. His advocacy for Common Core and his stand on illegal immigration will hurt him. Those are issues supported by Obama.
Mike Huckabee...Straight shooter and good guy who shines the light on it all. I like his positions on just about everything.
Rand Paul...I like a lot of his ideas especially wanting to cut corporate tax in half to create millions of jobs but I still can't quite figure him out. He is a dove in a violent world.
Mitt Romney...He was right when he said in 2012: "We have a choice of two paths: Obama or prosperity." He should have been our president. I think that the Republicans might just nominate him. Three strikes and finally out?
Let's go with Marco Rubio--young, fresh and right and bright. You can't win the Party nomination by moving to the middle or acting like a Democrat.
What do you all think? When I bet, I usually lose.

Another reason why I like Rick Santorum
During a campaign stop in Greenville, South Carolina, former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum, said that he rejects the idea of a flat tax and would propose a 10, 20, 30, plan in its place, reports WYFF.com.
“I reduce rates, simplify the code. I don’t go to one rate,” Santorum told News 4’s Michael Cogdill.
“I think people who are lower income should pay a lower percentage, and people who are higher income should pay a little higher percentage. But all rates should be reduced,” he said.
Santorum also argues that the corporate tax should be lifted for companies who produce goods in America.
“We cut the corporate tax for manufacturing all the way back from 35 percent to zero. We need to create jobs for the skilled and semi-skilled. Those jobs, unfortunately, are going to China and Mexico,” he said.
Mitt Romney wants a 25% flat tax. Is he kidding? And Newt has suggested a 15% flat tax.

I like Rick Santorum

Faith, Family and Freedom--that is Rick Santorum's message.
Our friend Tony Plakas in Lake Worth doesn't like Rick Santorum. I can understand why Tony and others in the gay community MIGHT not like him--It is Santorum's stand for the family unit--two parents, a mother and a father as well as his non-support of gay marriage. He has been accused of being anti-gay by gay rights groups because of this stand.
“We have made the decision that the best way to raise a family is with a man and a woman.” -Rick Santorum on CBS’s Face the Nation
But Rick Santorum was also against the Terri Schiavo case. So was I. He is a firm supporter of Social Security. So am I. He supports Intelligent Design--an evidence-based scientific theory about life's origins rather than a religious-based idea. But he believes in God. So do I. He believes in protecting the most vulnerable in our society. He is against partial birth abortion and so was the Supreme Court of the country and so am I.
He also authored legislation to advance adult stem cell research, so that ethical research could take place to fight debilitating diseases without the moral implications associated with embryonic stem cell research that destroys human life.
Once he was elected to Congress he targeted waste and fraud going after the House bank and the post office. More leaders need to take stands on waste and fraud. He has been consistent about lowering taxes and wants to:
He has openly stated his strong opposition to amnesty for illegal immigrants.
What little I know about him I like. He is the most conservative candidate running and to me, he comes across as "real."

- Cut the corporate tax rate in half
- Cut the tax rate to zero for all manufacturers
- Permanently extend the Bush tax cuts rates for Capital Gains and Dividend Tax rates
- Repeal the Death Tax
- Repatriate taxable income outside the United States at a rate of 5%
- Reduce the tax code for all by making the system flatter, fairer, and simpler
He has taken a firm stand against those who hate our country and its principles and understands that we must stand up to those ideals and against those who want to destroy them and our freedom.
He has openly stated his strong opposition to amnesty for illegal immigrants.
