GWB was not the same President that he began as but back in the private sector away from all the handlers and pressure of the Whitehouse he is speaking to my heart. Get out of my life Government! The more the better, the quicker the better.

Neil Cavuto has the best ideas sometimes. I love his folksy charm. Christie is in a neck and neck battle with an incumbent Governor. This is the race I am truly enjoying and after seeing this clip I doubt many would not love Christie! Okay maybe the size two people but most of the real people will enjoy him.

As I sit here in my little home I am reminded of all the blessings I have. Our house is humble, but very affordable. I have three dogs I adore as well as three kids. My husband and I have eeked out a nice life, it is not perfect and there are many things that would make it easier but I am happy to have what I have.I have been a Republican, an Independent, a local Democrat(voting in local primary as a democrat) and a Republican. To me there is nothing better than the Republican Party. I have this Libertarian side too though, as well as a side that is very humbled by needs of the truly needy. I have read the Republican Platform more than a few times, I agree with the party most of the time. The times I don’t I try to change it or accept it. Which is why the paid radio talk show hosts are driving me crazy.See I don’t get paid by anybody. We eek out our living by doing what we can to make ends meet. I don’t own a fancy house, belong to a country club or drive a BMW. We raise our children on moral ethical principals that we believe at our core and no one pays us to tell them a word. People from my party call me and ask me for advise, and local candidates call me when they want to know how to win. See I am truly grassroots. I have met George W. Bush, I know my Congressman on a first name basis. I correspond with my favorite Senator. I tell my State Senator to be more Republican, and I talk to my State Congressman more than most people would even think is needed. They know me, and my family. They also know when the chips are down I will be there doing what is needed to get them elected.I have never slept in the Lincoln bedroom, or been to the whitehouse or governor’s mansion. I have been invited to several state inaugurations but I am too busy living my life to go to Austin much. Which is why Rush, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingram have irked me to no end. Who the heck are they to tell me who is conservative or not? Who are they telling any Republican to stay home or vote Democrat? Are they truly interested in a conservative lifestyle for everyone? Or are they trying to sell a new book, make more money or trying become the headlines each and every day?Well it took me a while but I know the sad answer. They want to make more money, they don’t care about me or my family. They could care less about what happens in a country that is run by a Democratic President, a Democrat run Congress and Senate. See they are NOT in the trenches, they can sit in a studio and say whatever they want to. As a local Republican I cannot. I have to maintain a local positive attitude about the Republican candidates. See when you believe in grassroots you do because you live the life. Not because it is the easy way, but because my natural core wants my kids’ lives better than mine.I am not sure when but before Huckabee even won one state, a person called me to ask about the presidential election. He was doing an absentee vote, and he wanted his vote to count the most. I told him what I thought. McCain would be the nominee. Not because I am clairvoyant, but because when you have been in grassroots long enough you get a true pulse on the voters. I am not saying I agree but I know. In 2004 I was doing support calling for George W. Bush in Ohio. I spoke to many independent voters, that were supposed to be undecided. Most of them had already early voted for Bush. I knew then he would win re-election. As I said my strength is understanding what motivates the majority. I wish I got Rush’s salary, or had some of Rove’s brain but I don’t.So my take is thus. Rush has spent too much time playing golf at the country club, and doesn’t have a clue what a real Republican is hoping for. My first time at the Texas Republican Convention was an eye opener. No one talks about them but I will. There are Log Cabin Republicans, a gay group of wonderful guys that want more than anything else a real voice in Republican politics. We agree on almost everything except marriage. But I get why they are Republican. They are in business for themselves and want lower taxes. Then you have the plain clothed people, they stick to themselves and have an extremely simple life. Their kids are dressed very plainly and are always polite. They want to be Republicans because it keeps the Government at bay, so they can raise their kids in their own religion. Then there are the Harley people, they are dressed head to toe in leather and tattoos. They love Republicans, and they love to ride. After that there are teacher groups, families, couples involved in politics to be famous and included at “the places.” See what nobody seems to know is the Republican Party is a big tent party, we all get along. We find our common ground and skip the stuff we don’t agree on. The stuff we don’t agree on is hotly debated, and then we vote. Whoever wins, wins. Period end of story.That is really why I respect the party, Rush has no real place in the party I see daily. Sean is loved but he is so far away from my life he couldn’t know my struggles. But my state congressman and my US congressman do, they know that I will tell them exactly what I want. I wont get it most of the time but I will say it. But then again I won’t sleep in the Lincoln bedroom. I won’t write a check of $100,000 or pay extra to go to some party to get close to people.I am real, and my needs are real. I don’t live in Palm Beach. I care about God, my family and everyone is last.<br /><br />John McCain is the nominee, and we don’t agree on a few things. I like his spunk, I respect him as a diplomat and a supporter of our troops. He is not nice at times, and honestly I could care less. Bush was nice and DC ate him alive, and watched with glee. If we as conservatives want any voice in DC we have to stand behind a man that is willing to do battle with the devil and call a spade a spade. McCain is that man. Bush was not from DC, and Romney has so many skeletons that I have found it scares me. Huckabee is a great man, and I truly believe Fairtax.org is our only way to get out of the tax burden, but Huckabee is not viable as a mainstream President. Rudy I thought at first would win, but then we found out too much dirt by way of Romney. Thompson just didn’t try, his heart was not in serving that was clear. So it came down to McCain, Romney and Huckabee. McCain was going to take it and he has.Romney is like Edwards to me, it is past time for him to get out but his ego is so big he wont. So now is the time to gather together, hold hands and sing kumbaya. Only problem is that won’t have people listening to a radio show or buying books. See the reality of it is, the Democratic Party does one thing exactly right. They fight, and they make up in public. We fight and fight and fight. Then we wait for some to decide it is okay to be mad and stay home. Well I am here to say it is not. Men died for us, so that we could vote. Women have not had the right to vote for that long. My son will be 18 before November, am I supposed to tell him there is no hope his vote doesn’t matter? No No NO!!!!! Get your butt out there in your life, and live. Get out there and talk to your politician and your party. Get busy!!! Rush is not going to pay your fuel bills, your daycare, your healthcare or your college money. Let him stew, I am going to live and vote Republican. Because any Republican is better than Hillary Clinton or Obama. And that is what no paid person is going to say before they vote in the primary, but in the real world it is the truth.
