Questionable Candidates

How ridiculous are the GOP candidates racing to be the nominee for Republican presidential candidate? Ron Paul seems like a creepy old loner that should be on Family Guy, Michelle Bachman is Sarah Palin 2.0, Newt Gingrich is self explanatory and a weirdo to add, Mitt Romney is up & down and left & right without a true character, Herman Cain is an absolute joke without real political experience & knowledge and a walking sexual harassment, and Rick Perry is a dumby exactly like George W Bush. If you closed your eyes and just listened to Rick Perry talk, you wouldn't know the difference between him and George W. What's even worse is many people across the country are taking these comedians pretending to be presidential candidates serious.

Sure President Obama is not perfect by any means and the U.S economy is in poor condition. That's an easy jab to take, but everything wrong in our economy is not solely his fault. Though there is a strong argument that can be made that the President is doing a sub par job with our economy, our congress isn't honestly helping him to make significant strides for improvement. The economy was in such terrible shape upon him taking office there is no way he can make every single issue on his desk favorable, certainly not with the bad attitudes congress has toward him. Besides if this country was dumb enough to let George W. have two terms, then Obama no doubt deserves more time.

What's really troubling is that the three GOP candidates currently with the most favor are not people that would truly represent the U.S. positively. Rick Perry as witnessed last night can't even remember his own agenda as it relates to things he would change with our country. This is probably because he's not sure if he wants to do things as a Republican or Democrat which he used to be. Or just plain not competent. Having mental lapses like that are not in the best interest of the American people. Herman Cain is just not someone to be seriously considered at all, even before the sexual harassment issues arised which he states are unfounded. He looks like a guy who behaves that way in our opinion. This guy has no political experience whatsoever and didn't even know that China was already a nuclear power. C'mon really? It's honestly sad that people really say they would vote for him. Don't let his strong personality fool you America, he's not presidential material by any means. Mitt Romney looks like he could be a president on a made for television movie, and his persona seems very artificial. He was also suspected about hiring illegal citizens to do work for him amongst other issues. So his integrity is somewhat in question.

Nonetheless, none of the 2011-2012 GOP candidates appear or seem to be seriously worthy of taking the place of the current president, no matter how unhappy some people are with him. These candidates are more thinking they can win the Presidential Election race than actually running the superpower of the world for four years. Those are two completely different things. True someone has to run against President Obama, but that doesn't mean they should be taken seriously. The job President of the U.S. is not some hobby, part-time job, or pizza shop position. Rather it's a monumental responsibility that takes integrity, in-depth knowledge/wisdom, patience, common sense, a loving heart, guts, and the ability to garner respect not only from Americans but the world community also.
