SWOT Analysis Of The Presidential Candidates
I am sure that by now you are aware that we are having a Presidential election this year. If you happened to miss that news, a new debate is probably around the corner. But who do you vote for if you aren't amongst the political base? The decisions can be difficult, especially if you don't follow politics. All sides have their strengths and weaknesses. To make the choices a little bit easier, I have created a SWOT Analysis Of The Presidential Candidates. A SWOT analysis is a marketing term that is an acronym for Strengths, Weaknesses, Oppositions, and Threats. It is used in identifying different aspects of a business. You can do the same for these politicians and then pick who you think may be best. Read more...
The GOP In Review: 2011 Edition
Well, 2011 is over and all I can say is "Oh, that crazy Grand Ol' party!" How you kept things interesting for us all in 2011. You made us laugh, you made us cry. Hopefully, you made us all understand the importance of voting for people who want to work for the people instead of pushing their own private agenda. Remember the promise that we needed smaller government and politicians that worked for the people? I am not certain that all of the items on this list do that, but they are entertaining. Here is the GOP in review: 2011 edition. Read more...

Herman Cain Is Gone: So Who’s Left?
Herman Cain, the GOP Presidential nominee who was once the CEO of Godfather Pizza and made a rise to the top of the GOP race with his 9-9-9 tax plan has toppled. Amidst a series of sexual accusations that ran the gamut between a thirteen year affair with an Atlanta woman to several sexual harassment charges, Cain's campaign has crumbled into shambles. This, added with a series of gaffes and backpedaling has caused his Republican status to be redeemed and where he once was a potential for President Cain, he will have to live with being Citizen Cain. In the meantime, his family has been hurt, his reputation shattered and the chance for becoming the most powerful man in the world has slipped from his fingers. It makes one wonder, with all of the scrutiny that goes into becoming a public official, is it really worth it?
So, who's left? The Republicans will start dropping off like flies now that we are heading into the primaries. The fickle behavior of the American people have put many candidates to the top of the polls, but with a few comments, they have all fallen. Here's a look at the people still running at the top and some of the ideals and political policies they stand for. Read more...

Five Things That Don’t Scare Me
With all of the fear generated in the world today, you would think the United States doesn't stand much of a chance to make it in this world. Just by listening to the news and the people on Capitol Hill will tell you that the other guy is wrong. Right? Both sides are mongering fear and we are left with putting some perspective to what they have to say. But do we really have anything to be afraid of? I mean, sure, President Obama might spend every dime we have in the treasury until we have nothing left and our grandchildren have to grow up Muslim after he sells the United State to Turkmenistan. It could happen! But that is as likely a scenario as the Republican's abolishing Social Security and Medicare forever and giving you $10 off coupons to see your doctor...ok, that might happen! In any case, I've come up with a list of five things that should be able to put your mind at ease until the next election. The following are things that don't scare me. Why? Because they either will happen or they won't and when that time comes, I'll accept it. Read more...
Another 5 Reasons Obama Will Win A 2nd Term
Back in April, I wrote an article entitled, "The 5 Reasons Obama Will Win A 2nd Term". In that article, I described the competition that he was facing with the Republican party and why the best bet of the GOP would be to wait until 2016 when they could field a better candidate. I had quite a bit of backlash from GOP supporters on how "I should wait" until the real Republican candidate steps forward and will totally blow everything Obama is trying to do out of the water. So here it is, almost September. It is 14 months before the election and we are still waiting. Obama continues to build capital for his uncontested race and the Republican party hasn't come up with a viable candidate. Sure, they look good at first, but then we realize that they are just a parody of leadership. I feel that the Republicans hoping for a viable candidate in 2012 is like the proverbial search for Prester John (look it up). He or she just ain't going to be found because they don't exist. If the GOP still thinks they have a chance, let us look at our choices and you can decide who will do better in the position. Read more...

What If: The GOP Destroyed The Unions?
What is happening to America? Seriously. The wealthiest two percent of our nation is going to get tax cuts at a point where they will save $70 BILLION dollars each year and conservative governors are stating we have to heel the middle class union workers because they make too much money! Their response to giving the wealthy more money is that it will be an incentive to hire more people. Seventy BILLION dollars. That means, they can hire an additional 2.8 million people each year with a wage of $24,000 ($11.54/hour) and reduce unemployment by 10% on their own. But they are going after Union workers now and pitting middle class people against each other. So what if it really happens? Read more...
