First, we had Bachman drop out, then Huntsman and Perry both drop out within the same week…. We were left with only 4 people in the running….. and we were left with them for a while. Now that I’m back and posting, I’m glad ol’ Rick waited up on me to get back before deciding to drop out so I could make a post about him.
But, I never updated the site about the momentum that Santorum was getting recently… after Perry dropped out of the bid, I figured Rick Santorum would be next to drop out, then Gingrich… Leaving only Dr. Ron Paul and Mitt Romney… Sadly, at that point I thought it would be so far that Mitt winning would be inevitable. Because of the turn of events, though, Gingrich really… well… he sucked in the polls. If he couldn’t win the southern states, where could he possible win?? I figured he would have dropped out after Super Tuesday’s results. However, Rick Santorum actually did well enough to trick himself into thinking he ever had a chance, so he stayed in way longer than he should have. Of course Gingrich’s ego couldn’t let him be someone to just drop out, too. So, he’s still in.
Or is he? Rumors were circulating around that his campaign may be halting to a stop… He’d still be on the ballets, but he wouldn’t be actively campaigning… But now, Santorum is out, and according to Fox News, Gingrich thinks that the latest to fall will actually help Gingrich in a 1-on-1 battle with Mitt Romney. I guess he was encouraged by the new void of competition.
While I made predictions earlier in the year about who would be winning which states, a lot of them were just fantasy-filled and really didn’t reflect the real outcome, so I’m going to hold in my opinion about the upcoming states. I think it’s clear who’s going to win 90% of the upcoming delegates. But, I’ve been spot-on with the migration of voters. Who will Santorum supporters go to? Well, I think about 10% will go to Ron Paul… Santorum didn’t have many problems with Ron Paul, except one incident I can recall. I think the majority of Santorum supports will go to Gingrich, but how many? I think about…. 60% of his followers. I think a lot of them are just following Santorum because they dislike Romney, and they will continue to do so. But, the rest of the voters will either defect to Mitt Romney’s side because they see no point in fighting it anymore, because they dislike Gingrich so much and see Dr. Ron Paul as a no-hope candidate, or because they simple like Romney’s views more.
Of course, Santorum holds more female voters than any of the other candidates, and even rivals President Obama’s supporters, but I think they will go with Romney. Really, I don’t understand women enough, I guess, because they were supporting him at all in the first place… And ask yourself this: Why would the female supporters run to Gingrich? Because he met the Power Rangers? I know I would feel pain voting on someone who has cheated on his first two wives, while one was in the hospital.
On a side note, there is a lot of speculation that this void will actually help Dr. Ron Paul the most and poll-vault him into a close second place. (Yes, that was a pun. I guess I’m a pundent?) I would really like that, but I can’t say for sure that that would happen.
Just one of many of the reasons why I despise him…
With Angel Grove now safe from evil Zedd, who was destroyed back in 1995, Newt Gingrich congratulates the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers on a job well done shortly after he swore into Capitol Hill.
I remember when I was younger, I always looked up to the teenage Rangers, and I always wished I could have joined their forces, but they were older than me and I wasn’t very strong compared to them. My strength and skill level was not up to their level, but my heart is where it should have been, and I think that’s what matters to most to them. The Power Rangers, unfortunately, were disassembled during Clinton’s administration whenever crime rates dropped extremely. Clinton just didn’t see the need for a Texas Ranger-like Californian force. No one could live up to Walker, Texas Ranger.
Not even a week after Jon Huntsman dropped out of the Republican nomination, Rick Perry announced that he would be dropping out, too. After Bachmann dropping out, I would have figured that Perry would have been next… Either way, Perry exiting right before tonight’s South Carolina’s Republican debate, leaving only Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Mitt Romney to face off in what could be the final Republican debate depending on the results of this week’s primary. While making his exiting speech, Perry went on to back Newt Gingrich.
This second drop-out in a week will have some kind of impact on the primary polls later this week. I feel like Huntsman’s main supporters will split up into two faction of about 55% and 35%. I feel that the bigger group of people will migrate to favor Mitt Romney while the smaller group will favor Ron Paul. Because of Perry’s exiting, I suspect that hit supporters will split 3 nearly-equal ways with the biggest group supporting Newt Gingrich, and the two smaller groups supporting Santorum and Dr. Paul. Overall, I feel like this primary will be very close between Romney, Dr. Paul, and Newt Gingrich. I think Santorum will only get around 10% of the vote while Gingrich will get 25%, with Dr. Paul and Romney getting around 30% each.
Yesterday was Michelle Obama’s birthday, but it was also Betty White’s birthday. For his wife’s birthday, President Obama probably did some stuff- I dunno. I really didn’t look into what he did for her.
But, I saw this video that President Obama made for Betty White and I thought it was funny enough to share with you guys, so here it is!
So, 2011 was a big year and a lot of things happened. Especially around the world. There were riots in the middle east, Kim Jong-Il died, and Osama Bin Laden was killed secretly, confiscated secretly, and thrown into the middle of the ocean (also secretly) without any video or photographic evidence. Then, the people (whose names are not being released) who killed Osama also died. Supposedly.
This video I found on the web basically sums everything about the 9/11 conspiracy up into a funny little video. Of course, they go on to talk about the plot and why people would carry out the attacks on innocent Americans instead of the math and science behind the video. (Which I would have preferred.)
I will definitely be posting more about the 9/11 conspiracy theory in due time. I hope this post sparked some of your interests.
Jon Huntsman is out. He dropped out of the GOP race this weekend and has effectively gotten behind Mitt Romney. Out of all of the GOP contenders, I though Jon Huntsman was the second best choice. (A very close second place.) I would have voted for him over Obama, but it now looks like the only person I’d vote for over Obama on the Republican side is Dr. Ron Paul.
If Ron Paul becomes the Republican opposition to Obama in the presidential election that’s coming up, I’d be glad to see Jon Huntsman as the vice presidential candidate. I’d be happy knowing that someone who isn’t too far right would be representing our country as he has been for a while as our ambassador to China since the vice president deals heavily with international affairs and representing our country. Of course, I think Jesse Ventura may be just as qualified as the vice president.
Only time will tell if Jon Huntsman is going to be getting back into the presidential race; Whether it be as a vice presidential running mate or later on down the road in the next 4 or 8 years.
Here’s a clip that has recently surfaced online to get a lot of attention. It’s a speaker, known as his real, legal name of Vermin Supreme, talking to the Democratic Candidate Presidential Forum. He’s definitely a HUGE troll, but he’s doing it in a special manner that is very rare these days. Stephen Colbert spins political gibberish into funny and intellectual rants, where he takes the side of the opposition and exaggerates it to an extreme so that people can see how silly his opposition is being. (It’s called parody.) But, Vermin Supreme trolls people a different way. Instead, he intellectually picks a nonsensical topic and debates on it. Of course, his whole base is satirical, but I find it closely relates to our country’s problems today. He’s making a fool out of politicians and I see this is as a good thing, since there are very little people that see politicians as they are.
As for Vermin Supreme’s agenda, I believe that switching to a mandatory pony-based economy may actually be best for our country!
I will definitely be keeping up with this guy from now on. (Even though he has been running since 1998!)
I bet this guy is either a professional troll, straight out from under the bridge, or he works for Stephen Colbert and is just trying to get some laughs.
With tonight’s New Hampshire Primary coming fast, Dr. Ron Paul has been getting a surge of popularity and support among Republican voters. On January 3rd in the Iowa Republican Caucus, Ron Paul had 21% of the vote, which was 3rd place in the populous vote. Despite that view, he still tied Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum in terms of the awarded delegates with each of these three candidates getting 7 delegates.
With Michele Bachmann dropping out of the race, I predict many of her voters will vote for Dr. Paul since they both stem from the Tea Party. Of course, I also predict that Gingrich and Santorum both will lose a good portion of their voters as their momentums slow and Jon Huntsman’s increases. Those defected voters will not vote for Romney, but may back Huntsman or Paul.
Will Romney still lead or will his trailing gap shrink even further? Will Hunstman drop out if he doesn’t get enough votes? What about Perry? Will Santorum’s momentum carry him or will he flop like the others before him? But the big question is, will Dr. Ron Paul finally garner enough support to get out of the 3rd place in which he’s been stuck for the bulk of this race?
Ahhh… Chemtrails… Very interesting… This is the first post that I’m gonna make about this subject but I’ll be posting soon about it, though, so don’t worry. It’s controversial but widely acknowledged by the conspiracy community as a problem… as a tool used by governments.
What are chemtrails? Well, you know whenever you see a jet way up in the sky with a white line behind it? What is that line? It’s like a cloud. Whenever aircrafts reach a certain speed, they disrupt the water molecules in the air and they clump together, forming a fozen mist.They aren’t anything special, really. No one denies the fact that jets can leave behind them a stream of mist at a certain speed.
What is this conspiracy theory revolving around, then? A chemtrail is not a stream or mist left behind by the planes- it is different. It is a product (liquid spray or gas) that’s released by the aircraft for a variety of supposed reasons. Some people believe they are used to control the weather. These people believe that controlling the weather may be beneficial to controlling the economy via agricultural production. Some people believe that chemtrails contain chemicals that are used to control people’s minds… through inhalation or our water system.
Personally, I’m conflicted over the idea. It just makes logical sense to me… Sometimes I see perfect grids in the sky made of these lines… Where does the government need these jets going to so fast? And honestly, I have noticed there being two distinct kinds of trails left by aircrafts. But I digress; I don’t know what to believe on this. I feel like I need more proof or evidence to make me believe something. I feel like I’ve been shown enough only to doubt what I think I know. So, do chemtrails exist or not? I’m not exactly sure right now.
I’m going to be posting more about this later so you can understand my viewpoint, but for now, take a look at this video. I don’t want to go through and translate what this guy is saying, but it’s pretty obvious he’s saying what time it is, where he’s at, etc. The trail that this guy is talking about is very peculiar. You can clearly see between 1 minute in and 3 minutes in how fast it dissipates. Being in Baja California, next to the coast, they could have a different kind of humidity than I’m used to in Texas, which may explain the weird dissipation and even the consistency. Besides that, though, the stream of whatever it is, happens to be very, very low.
