disenfranchisedpast participle, past tense of dis·en·fran·chise (Verb)

While Pennsylvanians like me will have the right to cast a vote during the Republican primary in late April, we certainly are marginalized.  Included below is the schedule for the primaries.  Iowa and New Hampshire are done and South Carolina is in the on deck circle.   The PA primary isn't until April 24 by which time, as usual the "winner" will already be decided.  So yes, I get to vote, but no, that vote has been deprived of the power to impact the race.

In a radio interview in Iowa, Huckabee demonstrates his disdain of his own party.  Huck is one of those big government republicans, you know, the kind that are closer to what the dems used to be, before that party was consumed by radical progressives. 

So Huck is concerned that Republicans are too focused on beating Obama and not on fixing what is wrong with the country.  Well, when the guy you are trying to beat:

1. Hates the US Constitution
2. Doesn't like typical white people
3. Has a racist as a spiritual advisor
4. Robbed us to pay off his friends
5. Fought to take over healthcare
6. Stands in the way of a pipeline that will means less expensive energy and jobs

The list could go on and on.  The guy in the white house is a major problem and a huge roadblock to turning the economy around.  Step 1 in rebuilding America is to elect and executive who believes in America.  

Oh yeah, Huck also promised not to endorse anybody until after Florida.  Whew, that had me worried.  Seriously, does anybody really care what this guy thinks?

I picked up a Walther PK380 last year while at the Washington county gun show.  I liked the relatively low price, the size of the grip and the overall size and weight.  I've already written about some of the issues with the gun like the lack of a de-cocker, pulling the trigger to lower the hammer with the safety on just isn't a good thing and represents poor design.  Needing a stupid plastic tool to field strip the gun for cleaning is another "genius" idea.

Although I've got problems with Newt and I'll never forgive him playing kissy face with Pelosi on that damn couch, he'd be a much, much better choice for the Republican nomination than flip-flop Mitt.

Now he seems to be surging in the polls.  I certainly agree with Allah over at hotair:

Now, serious question: How is it we’ve landed on Newt instead of taking a second look at Perry? Perry’s last few debates have been fine and he’s spent months groveling to make amends for calling his immigration critics heartless. And of course he’s still got that glamorous Texas jobs record to wield against Obama in the general if he makes it that far. 

How did we get to the point that Newt is overtaking the Robot Romney and Perry is looking dead in the water?  Perry, in spite of his mistakes, would be my second choice and who I was hoping to be able to cast a vote.  My first choice, Gary Johnson, doesn't have a hope in hell in gaining the nomination but if he is still in the game when the PA primary rolls around in the spring, I'll be voting for him, unless it looks like a two man race between Newt and Mitt.  If Mitt is giving Newt a run in PA, I just might have to cave and vote for him.

Johnson would be a great libertarian, small government president but Romney would be the king of suck.  We can't let this flip-flopping, say whatever people want to hear, spineless piece of shit get the nomination.  Not because he's a Mormon, but because he is a principles liberal learning RINO.  Newt's not perfect but he's a hell of a lot better than Mitt.

I'm starting to get a rather sick feeling in my stomach about the fast approaching Presidential election.  Sadly, Perry seems to be flaming out, although if he is still in it when the Pennsylvania primary rolls around, he'll get my vote, unless somebody better jumps in late.

Last time we got stuck with McCain and this time my fear is that we'll be stuck with Romney.  Against Obama, Romney has my vote, but that's like saying if I had a choice between Satan or Hitler, I'd go with Hitler.  A marginally less bad choice between two really awful selections.  No, I'm not comparing Romney to Hitler, I'm comparing the choice.

Newt is showing some signs of life, while Herman Cain get's the equivilant of a 21st century political lynching.  I really liked Cain until I discovered he hadn't really even thought about abortion or rather much about any of the other issues before deciding to run.  He is a bit too shallow in his thinking for me.  Given Newt's hanging out with Nancy in support of the Global warming scam, I'm no longer much of a fan.  Thanks for the work you did in 1994 but, no thanks in 2012.  Although, I'd certainly take Newt over Romney.

Although there are others running, I just don't see any of them getting the nomination.  I'm starting to get the feeling that Romney will end up with it and it really makes me sick.  Not because he believes in 19th century fabels, but because the man stands for nothing but getting elected.  I'm sorry but I can't imagine ever supporting a Republican who was able to get elected in Massachusetts...   Is it going to happen again?  Are we going to be stuck with another liberal nominee?
