This is my second foray into the blogosphere. Hopefully this one will stick. I'm undecided about the "theme" my blog will take, but my current interests have taken a decidedly political slant. I must say that I am enjoying the current election cycle to the point of addiction. Healthy or not, "it is what it is" (By the way, that's the title of Shannon's blog. Check it out). It will come as no surprise to those who know me that I am a Conservative. I have been increasingly dismayed with the current batch of Republicans, and while I am still registered as such, I have chosen to drop the moniker until I see Republicans acting like Republicans.
Gosh! I sound almost like a Ron Paul backer, don't I? Not so. While I respect Dr. Paul and his strictly constitutional philosophy, I think he is a fringe candidate at best. At worst he could become the next Ross Perot and ruin the election as a third party candidate. The Clintons should have sent Mr. Perot a thank you card.
As you can see from the picture, I am a strong supporter of Mitt Romney. This picture was taken at a recent “Ask Mitt Anything” event he hosted in Tega Cay SC. There were a relatively small amount of people there, and we were able to ask questions and receive answers in a very intimate format. I was able to shake his hand and look him in the eye. I found him to be very sincere and forthright, and his political views align very closely to my own. Ralph Norman (SC contender for Congress in ’06) introduced Governor Romney as, “The only candidate in the field who has signed both the front and back of a paycheck.” That struck a chord with me. It will be good to have a person in office who has had both political and private sector success.
I will be posting a video I took of Governor Romney at the event. He was asked a question about trade policy. I posted it on Youtube. Now if I can just figure out how to stick it on my blog…

"I was able to shake his hand and look him in the eye. I found him to be very sincere and forthright..."
if you asked me who said this, i would say gw bush, talking about putin. heheh
Ashley you said "I have chosen to drop the moniker until I see Republicans acting like Republicans" ??? This comment begs the question as to when the last time such a general statement applied across "The Party" ... In the end it appears we are going to have to choose between Hilary on the one hand and a Republican as yet unnamed on the other. My guess is that even if it is is Rudy, we will all beat a path to the voting booth.
dh-l: You have a point there. Romney or not, I'll have to vote for the "R" over Hilary regardless of who it may be. In the mean time, I'm doing everything I can personally (small as I am in the grand scheme) to elect Gov. Romney.
