If you've read this at all...then you know that I was a Herman Cain supporter. Obviously he is out of the race now, which means I have to vote for someone else when the time comes. I am not sure where my vote will land at this point...but I know who I don't want to vote for in the primaries-Romney or Gingrich. I am conservative...they are not. (Yes, they are more conservative than our current President...
but not conservative enough for me) The primary elections are an opportunity to vote for who you truly want to vote for...I've realized, there will always be compromising...but you get to vote FOR someone and not just against someone.
I am NOT a Romney fan...he appears to just want the title, President. He has been on every side of every issue over the years...and that's a red flag for me. There is no doubt he is a smart business man, but I don't believe our values line up. Romney-care (although I agree that a state has a right to do it versus our federal government, Obama-care) was a terrible idea. What was one of the first states to legalize gay marriage...Massachusetts, which is where Romney is from. Catch my drift...not a fan.
Gingrich...is a very smart man. That is what caught my eye during the debates...the man is on point, and very convincing. BUT, the man has a lot of history...and it's not all so good. Obviously, most know about his 3 marriages (and the last 2 were with the woman he was having an affair with during the previous marriage) This is a huge deal to me, because our marriage vows are literally the most sacred commitment we can make. He apparently was for the Cap and Tax legislation that our President wanted passed in recent years...It was a bad idea, and he was for it. He appeared in commercials with Nancy Pelosi for crying out loud in support of bad environmental policies...He has a history with the corrupt companies of Fannie and Freddie...catch my drift. Don't get me wrong, he would be better than Obama...and would eat Obama's lunch in a debate...but he isn't my 1st choice.
Perry...I love his outspoken faith. I do think he has done a good job in Texas, but he isn't flawless either. His immigration policies in Texas haven't been up to par in my opinion. That is one of his biggest down falls...and unfortunately the man has had many slip ups during the campaign period. But I will say this...actions speak louder than words. I would take his lack of debating skills, for positive action any day (versus Obama who is a great communicator/speaker...but his actions flat out stink.
Ron Paul...I just can't do it. His followers are finatics, but I am not one of them. Don't get me wrong, he has some very strong points and knows what he stands for and believes. But he is also too extreme for me...and, although I agree our government should not be involved in social issues...that isn't the case at this point. Our government is involoved, so you can't just make that go away. Not only that, but "no war" sounds ideal, but we don't live in Heaven...there will always be talks of war and America is the strongest nation in the world...we shouldn't be ashamed for that.
Bauchman...unfortunately for her she got Palinized from the start (made out to be and look crazy). Being a female, I just don't know if she can truly handle the role of Presidency. Maybe that isn't fair to her, but I would personally rather a male be in the role. On the other hand, she is hands down one of the most conservative of the candidates. I love her story of foster parenting, of her husband counseling homosexuals out of that lifestyle, and her fiscal responsibility.
Santorum...I've listened to him in debates, and have researched the man a little more. I LOVE some of the things he has stated about the break down of families in our nation...he is spot on. He is an advocate for family and life values, which you know I love. He has passed anti-abortion legislation, has been outspoken on traditional marriage, and spoken out against the breakdown of family and how that leads to a moral and fiscal decline in our country. He is actually talking about the root of our country's problems...and he is absolutely correct. I am slowly becoming a fan of his...I don't know the dirt or negatives with Santorum yet...but until I hear them, he may be my next person of choice for President. I guess we will see if he can hang in the race after the Iowa vote in early January.
Let me know who you like...and why. If you don't want to comment on here, then email me. I am curious to see what others think. The great thing with my job, I get to have some amazing conversations with some very intelligent people (alot of these conversations are about the candidates and the upcoming election...and as you can imagine, I love it)

Tebow...does God care about football?
Let's face it...if you follow sports at all, then you know of Tim Tebow (former outstanding Florida quarterback, who wasn't supposed to get drafted to the NFL early because of his lack of fundatmental quarterback skills) But now, the Denver Broncos...with the help of Tebow...have had some amazing wins lately. Everywhere you look in regards to NFL games...Tebow's name is being brought up. I know people get sick of him, but the kid is amazing in many ways (Yes, I am and have been a huge fan).
Here's the deal...Tebow is UNASHAMED of his Christianity. He literally mentions his faith and God everytime he gets the chance. He admits, he uses his celebrity as a platform to profess his beliefs which are the most important to him. People can hate on him all they want, but the kid doesn't budge. He has been consistent for years...and he backs his talk up with action. He is using part of his earnings to build a hospital in the Phillipines where he grew up, and where his parents were missionaries.
So, does God care about the outcome in football games? I highly doubt he cares who wins and loses, BUT God will use any means necessary to further his kingdom. If you don't think that is happening right now you are crazy...for example, one of my husband's co-workers is an atheist. This man came up to my husband recently and asked him about this Tebow and God thing. Someone who has denounced God's very existence is asking about God. And let's be honest, many men in America worship football on Sundays...instead of worshipping God. There is no doubt that God is working on men throughout this football season...and he is using Tim Tebow, his Denver Broncos, and their amazing wins to get people's attention. God will use whatever means necessary to lead people to himself...God may not care about football, but he cares about winning souls of men...and he will use football and its football players to do it!!!

GOP fighting back over Obama's LGBT agenda
“This administration’s war on traditional American values must stop.
“I have proposed a foreign aid budget that starts at zero. From that zero baseline, we will consider aid requests based solely on America’s national security interests.
“But there is a troubling trend here beyond the national security nonsense inherent in this silly idea. This is just the most recent example of an administration at war with people of faith in this country. Investing tax dollars promoting a lifestyle many Americas of faith find so deeply objectionable is wrong.
“President Obama has again mistaken America’s tolerance for different lifestyles with an endorsement of those lifestyles. I will not make that mistake.”
The above statement is from Presidential hopeful, Rick Perry.
You know what...I obviously agree with him!!! Now that Cain has dropped out of the race, I am not sure who I am pulling for. I am NOT a Romney fan at all...I feel that he just wants the name of President so badly that he will flip and flop any which way to obtain it...he is not trustworthy in more ways than one (but I will give him credit of being a smart business man)
Gingrich has a ton of baggage as well...and for crying out loud, he did an environmental advertisement with Pelosi. Smart man for sure...but has never had a solid foundation.
Although he isn't electible and is very extreme, Ron Paul has some good ideas. There is no doubt where that man stands on issues.
Bachman has fallen victim to similar issues that Sarah Palin had...the media has spun her to be crazy, and most people believe it. But...she has an admirable family life and mission in my opinion. I'm not endorsing her in anyway, but the woman is solid and her foundation is Biblical for the most part.
So, of the bigger names from the Republican side...that leaves Perry. I do not agree with all of his standpoints (his immigration position would have to change)...but there is no doubt where this man's foundation stands. He is a Christian conservative which our nation desperately needs. He held a very public day of prayer in Houston where people from all over the country attended-to pray for our nation. He has led our largest state, Texas, through these tough economic times...and has done a good job of that. There is no doubt, he is not a good debater. But I will say this, actions speak louder than words. Obama is smooth as silk with words...but his actions are not Biblical, are not moving our country in the right direction, etc. Perry can be a screw up with words, but if he makes good decisions as President...that is worth the media out-takes and bloopers that he would receive. Who knows for sure where my vote will swing in the primary at this point...but based on foundational, Biblical beliefs...there aren't many who are even in the running based on those principles.

MORE homosexual promotion by our government...Clinton
http://www.scribd.com/fullscreen/74942691
The above link is the official transcript of Hillary Clinton's speech this week in Geneva, Switzerland.
On a national stage to the entire world, she spoke on world wide equality and recognition of the homosexual (LGBT) lifestyle.
HILLARY CLINTON & BARACK OBAMA DO NOT REPRESENT WHAT THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS BELIEVE...
The current leaders of our country are misleading people worldwide...and they are leading them into sin. This will be on the hands of those who promote a sinful lifestyle, who promote an agenda based on behavior and action, and who literally force this down our throats.
I am calling on those of you who read this...to get involved some way, to inform others of what is really going on in our society and government. If you don't want to do it face to face, then pass this blog along to others...use me, I don't care.
I know a lot of people who voted for this man...and I know alot of them would not stand for his actions if they really knew what was going on. The ACLU, this President, and many others can attempt to take Christianity and religious principles away from the United States...and they can attempt to rewrite history to look as if our founders were religious...the reality is, these people will keep winning...will keep using their power unless we do something.
So, if you consider yourself a Christian...I challenge you to go back to the Bible. The Bible is clear on this issue...and many others like abortion. It is NOT RIGHT for our government to be involved in these issues at all, let alone throw our hard earned tax payer money at it. Take action my friends...
One last thing...please read the transcript of Clinton's speech. She basically said to put religion to the back burner and accept homosexuality. That this lifestyle should be put about religious beliefs. On that note, it isn't as if Christianity is the only religion to acknowledge this distructive lifestyle is wrong...Islam and others do too.

an Agnostic point of view
Everytime I visit this place (a place I went today for work)...a conversation of religion comes up. It is a conversation that I am thankful for, but always very disturbed by. You see, what I have realized about atheist and agnostics, is they are always talking about a God they either don't believe in...or about a God that they have zero faith in because they choose not to believe in what happens after death; they are unsure about it.
HELLO...THAT'S WHERE FAITH COMES IN.
This gentleman always releases a barrage of attacks on my faith...on religion in general...and especially Christianity. His mode of attack...how smart he is, how educated he is, the things he has studied and read, etc. He literally takes these articles as TRUTH and fact. Let be clear...the ONLY TRUTH that is unwavering and solid is the BIBLE. People can try to spin it, can try to dismiss it, but it has never changed. God's word doesn't change.
The other thing this man said is how religion is violent. That is bull crap. I attempted to clarify before I was cut off...CHRISTIANITY is not violent. When practiced as God intended, it is not violent here on Earth. CHRISTIANS are not the ones attacking and killing others...
That's where this man is wrong...ISLAM is the violent religion. These people are killing Christians in Egypt, are burning their places of worship, etc. This religion will not even allow people to convert to Christianity without literally killing them. That is violent and non tolerant.
This man said the only religion he would consider would be Buddhism. Hmmm, I studied this a little in college. So, getting rid of desires to reach a state of Nirvana...that is our purpose in life. (Nirvana = a state of nothingness...sounds exciting right) That's crazy, boring, and purposeless...
Here is the difference between Christianity and all the other religions of the world. Christianity does require faith...it requires us to rely of a saving God, a Savior in Christ Jesus...who took the penalty for our sins by dying on a cross! No other religion of the world does that...they all rely on "works" to obtain their superior state...Islam-->so you can kill others in the name of Allah and that gives you virgins in your afterlife...woo hoo. Buddhism-->rid yourself of desire and you reach nothingness. Hinduism--> your works and life here on Earth determine your next life, once again here on Earth. Sorry folks, but I only want to live on this sinful Earth once.
Do you see my point...every other religion is based on what you do, based on works. Christianity is the ONLY ONE that is based on what Jesus did for all of us. It is the most tolerant religion in the world, because anybody from any background can make the choice to follow Christ. The 'works' aspect of Christianity is not to earn salvation, but to literally represent Christ and lead others to Him.
Please pray for this man that this post was initiated because of...
Please pray for those who have yet to give their life to Christ and rely on faith in him...
Please pray for revival in our nation...

More Obama Push of Homosexuality & Declining our country
Hey taxpayer...do you want your hard earned tax payer dollars going to help promote the homosexual lifestyle around the world in the form of "foreign aide"? ME NEITHER.
I am ALL for giving and helping others...but to promote a sinful agenda so you can pacify and get votes from the homosexual population with my money...is RIDICULOUS Mr Obama.
This man is a homosexual activist...he is not a President and I make no appologies for saying that. This man has shown ZERO leadership during his time in office. The common reaction from loyal Democrats is to blame Republicans...
there is no doubt Republicans, as a whole, have made a lot of mistakes and contributed to the crappy economy and crappy society that we are faced with. BUT, there has never never never been a President to spiral this country out of control like this man.
THE CULTURAL WAR--> This man (Obama) has done more to lead people away from a Biblical Christian culture than any other leader...SO IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN, DIG YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE GROUND AND WAKE UP TO WHAT THIS MAN IS DOING! As I've stated on here before, he is the first and only President to hold a LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered) party at the Whitehouse. He has overturned DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act)...he has broken our FEDERAL laws in allowing homosexuals to serve openly in the military.
What happened to MATTHEW 6:33..."Seek FIRST his kingdom and his righteousness..." It doesn't say, Oh just seek it when it's convenient...seek his kingdom when you get around to it...seek it when the time is right....SEEK FIRST.
THE ECONOMY-->WAKE UP...unemployment is the highest it has been since our grandparents went through the Great Depression. The economy is in shambles...and as a business person, this man has NO CLUE how business operates. And let's face it, most of our jobs are created in the private, business world. You have a man that is so set on getting votes from the "Green Energy and Environmental People"...that he passed on creating thousands of jobs on an oil pipeline from Canada to Texas. Oh, my bad...creating thousands of jobs, bringing oil to our own land without being that much more dependent on the Middle East...that sounds like a terrible idea...NOT!
Our economy is in the dumps...and our society is declining. Those are 2 of the most imporant things in this country. This man is declining both at a rapid rate...
Not to mention the debt continuing to rise, his un-constitutional overhaul of healthcare (that if not overturned, will lead to a single payer government healthcare system-this isn't a good thing, will cause more businesses to go under because they won't be able to afford healthcare to their employees)
WE NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN LEAD OUR COUNTRY FROM THIS MESS...It isn't all Obama's fault and that is not what I am saying. BUT what I am saying is Obama has done ALOT of things that HE is responsible for...promoting universal government healthcare, promoting the GAY agenda both here in the US and Overseas, giving the US the largest DEBT it has ever been in, etc.
I beg you to comment...I don't see how anyone can defend this man.
