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...
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...

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...

The Tea Party: “We Are Like The Company We Keep”
I am not here to call the Tea Party evil, a bunch of racists, or anything negative, whatsoever. I just want to quote a man by the name of Miguel Cervantes (he is Spanish - not Mexican - and he wrote Don Quixote, so don't get any ideas that I am quoting someone who is in the U.S. illegally) who stated: "Tell me what company you keep and I'll tell you what you are." That statement rings true even 400 years later. I don't believe that every member of the Tea Party is a bad person, hell-bent on white supremacy. I just think they should take a look at the people who associate themselves with the name and views that they are trying to uphold. Here are five of those groups or people that keep company with this new political group. Is it infiltration or the true meaning of what the party stands for? Read more...
