And It's Newt By A Nose!

The Republican side of the 2012 presidential race more and more appears like a badly fixed horse race. You know all about fixed horse races don't you? Some people actually think horse races can't be fixed. I have news for them! Anyway, for those among you that have never thought about this, a fixed horse race is where everyone in the race has gotten together and all decided that #10 will be the winner of the 5th race. So everyone bets on him, gives him every break they can while the race is running and then gets out of his way as he comes streaking down the home stretch. 


As long as #10 doesn't stumble and fall or pitch his jockey off everyone makes money, except for the poor suckers that bet on the other horses in the race. They had lost before the race even started. If it's done right they can actually make a fixed race look honest. If you know what to look for, sometimes you can tell the difference, but most folks can't or don't.

The Republican presidential race is looking more and more like a fixed horse race. Most of us have observed how the front runners got out there and how well they briefly did. The race announcers have mentioned everyone but Ron Paul. He is the one entry they absolutely don't want to win, and suffice it to say, the race has been fixed so he won't win, no matter what. He could win all the straw polls in the country and the "news" media would never let you know, would constantly sidetrack you with meaningless drivel about how Perry was running against Romney and which one had the best hairdo, even when Paul was trouncing both of them.

So, we've watched Perry jump into the lead going around the first turn, until he couldn't remember what government agencies he wanted to get rid of, supposedly. If he couldn't remember the names of the agencies, chances are he really didn't plan to get rid of any of them. Then we watched Cain start running better, until he stumbled as all those sexual allegations were thrown at him. Interesting that all those that threw this garbage at him came from Chicago, where he had never lived. And we had Romney, running near the front, who is little more than the Republican version of Obama, and Michelle Bachmann, who, as a Christian, says she would reinstate waterboarding (torture). As good as she might sound to some, I cannot go along with that nor, would the Lord Jesus Christ, I bet. Bachmann is more neo-con than conservative, and most folks don't know the difference. She may be counting on that.

And through all this early front-running, way at the back of the pack sat ol' Newt Gingrich, really low in the polls, hardly making a ripple until all these other entries had used up their early speed, all except Ron Paul, but then by now, we know they won't even acknowledge that he has been in the race. Now, as these front-runners falter, one by one, ol' Newt has suddenly surged in the polls and, depending on who you believe, is either tie for first place or a strong contender for second. This was the same game they played with Lincoln in 1860, and you all know where that took us--right down the road to post-America, and it is doubtful that we will ever return.

But it worked, so why not again? Most voters today, thanks to the public school "educations" are abysmally ignorant, can barely pronounce the candidates' names, let along tell you what they are supposed to stand for.

And so I, as well as others more informed that I, think what we may get is a batch of faltering Republican horses who are fading in the stretch, while ol' Newt suddenly comes charging from the back of the pack to grab the nomination and the brass ring--the one through our noses! Newt has been around for a long time and knows how to play the game. If the powers that be decide they are not making hay with the Democrats and decide to throw them under the bus on this go-round and give Newt the nod, they realize he will give them everything that Obama would have given them, with a little conservative rhetoric sprinkled over the top. That should be enough to put the conservatives back to sleep.

If the rhetoric doesn't match the action, who cares? Most voters won't have enough smarts to compare the two anyway. Lest anyone think that ol' Newt is a real conservative, I would refer you to Gulag Bound and part one of an article entitled "The PhonyRight-Wing And Who Is Selling Us Down The River? Part One: Newt Gingrich." The article was written by Kelleigh Nelson in June, 2011 and she really gives you the goods on Gingrich.

Gingrich, it seems, has been married three times, and carried on affairs as well. In fact, according to Nelson, he was carrying on an affair with a House staffer while the Lewinsky scandal with Slick Willie was in progress. Never let it be said that the Republicans can't keep up with their Democratic brethren. Elected in 1978, he voted for the federal Department of Education in 1979. He also voted to designate 68 million acres of land as Federal protected wilderness. Nelson commented that two of the points of the "Communist Manifesto" are control of education and control of land. Coincidence? Don't bet the farm on it!

Nelson also informed us that Gingrich: "Led Congress into GATT with fellow CFR member Bill Clinton and then stated it was a very big transfer of power. It was, because it overrode Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. As well, GATT reduces the amount of money we can save for pensions. He jawed with President Clinton in NH that he was a huge fan of FDR and Woodrow Wilson, two of the most despised early communist leaning presidents. Remember Wilson gave us both the Federal Reserve and the 16th Amendment income tax."

Yes, Newt is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, this country's premier One World Government organization. I would really encourage you to check out Ms. Nelson's article. She covers much more than I can here. It would appear the establishment (CFR, Trilateral Commission, etc.,) is about to snooker the American people again. If George Soros and the Democrats decide they've gotten all the mileage they can out of our current Marxist-in-Chief they won't hesitate to dump him and present us with a more conservative-sounding version. So folks, start wondering how we will manage with the new Republican Obama--Newt Gingrich, a pseudo-conservative if ever there was one. If you think this horse race isn't fixed you haven't been paying attention.
