The Four Ring Circus

Republican Presidential candidates Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, and John McCain are going at each other as to who is the real conservative among them.  These children, dressed up like adults, are a sad bunch representing the Republican party who are trying to attract their base----those who prefer to wear the mantle of moral and family values. 

 

History has proven those who talk most about having family and moral values are the one who often violate those values.  We have seen many of them exposed in the last few years.  The people who really believe and practice family and moral values very seldom have to speak about those values because they live them.  In other words they lead by their deeds.

 

Has anyone heard this circus talk about being an American first?  I would bet not; their ideology and political persuasion comes first.  They think of being an American only when they need the extra votes.  The election of any one of these four children as President will just be an extension of the Bush administration with more reckless behavior and more reckless decisions, more attacks by Al Qaeda on the U.S., and more unnecessary wars.

 

Mr. Bush and his tough talking neocon friends failed to protect the country and its people on 9-11 from the worst foreign terror attack on U.S. soil.  And now this circus of four neocon's running for President are also trying to talk tough.  The American people are well aware of which party can best protect our country and people, and it is not the Republican Party.

 

It is almost laughable when you see them go after each other.  They can't live up to their positions on the issues, and when all else fails, they invoke the name of Reagan.  It must remind them of the Iran-Contra scandal.  Maybe that is why they are so casual about going to war with Iran.  Their motive must be to get back those weapons Reagan sold to Iran. 

 

Lets see, Giuliani likes to cross dress and hide behind the podium during the debates; Thompson is an actor with an undistinguished record while serving in Congress; McCain's wheels of his straight talking express came off a long time ago, and Romney is still trying to explain his positions. What a four ring circus with these children leading the Republican field for their party's leadership.

 

Are any of these four the best candidates to lead our country in the future?  The present administration has already set America back a decade with its reckless behavior.  When introducing the candidates for the next debate, maybe the moderator should just sing, "Send In The Clowns."
