The Current Republican Problem

Posted by Bill Cammack On March - 22 - 2012

I started paying attention to American Presidential politics 6 months ago, which is 2 months longer than my second-longest relationship, but that’s neither here nor there… >:D

So far, everything’s gone exactly the way I said it would, except for a few things I didn’t know about when I started blogging about this stuff.

The only reason people were pumping Bachmann was because she was a protest vote against Romney. Read the rest of this entry »

“Game Change” Review [Part 01 of 02]

Posted by Bill Cammack On March - 14 - 2012

What It Is

“Game Change” is an HBO film about Sarah Palin that was based on a book that was written by the dude that called President Obama a dick on national television:


YouTube Link => youtu.be/449FGJwDQRY

According to the interviews I’ve seen, the book is actually about both the Democrat and Republican races in 2008, but since they had to condense it to a 2-hour movie, they elected to focus on the Palin angle.

Also according to video footage I’ve seen, both Palin and John McCain have denounced the film, even though neither had seen it at the time of their interviews, but that makes sense if they weren’t personally consulted about the script and the potential authenticity (or not) of the book it was based on.

Republican Candidates Play To Stall, Not To Win

Posted by Bill Cammack On March - 8 - 2012

Yawn

The pundits are going to bore me for the next few weeks, asking stupid questions about when Gingrich or Santorum are going to drop out of the race against Romney.

They don’t even want to talk about Ron Paul… As usual… In fact, Ron Paul took 40% of the vote in Virginia, with Romney taking 60% because they were the only two on the ballot:

In Virginia Romney Beats Paul In A Head To Head Contest

Romney only took 60% of the vote, against *ONLY* Ron Paul? o_O

Nobody’s getting out of the race. There’s no reason for them to. Ron Paul has already said he’s going all the way to the Convention. Gingrich and Santorum both have billionaire sugar daddies funding their campaigns. They’re running on someone else’s money. There is no reason for *ANY* of the candidates to suspend their campaigns.. AT ALL. Read the rest of this entry »

Republicans’ 99 Problems

Posted by Bill Cammack On March - 6 - 2012

Reader “Paul” asked me why this Rush Limbaugh situation is a REPUBLICAN problem.

I will attempt to explain this.

The (most recent) Republican Problem

1. Rush Limbaugh cheerleads for Republicans all day and all night.
2. Rush Limbaugh said some stupid and unnecessary **** about women.
3. None of the Republican candidates for PRESIDENT. OF. THE. UNITED. STATES. were willing to disavow his comments AT ALL, much less take an active stance AGAINST what he said. Read the rest of this entry »

What Is Your Jobs Plan? [Part 02]

Posted by Bill Cammack On February - 28 - 2012

Continued from “What Is Your Jobs Plan? [Part 01]“

Voluntary Deportation

The problem is that the USA already *HAS* a society of working peasants. They’re called Illegal Immigrants.

Being that this entire land mass was originally inhabited by so-called “Indians” (because Columbus was *NOT* in India when he got here) and what are now known as Mexicans, which is why Eskimos north of the USA and Mexicans south of the USA don’t look too different from each other, the native inhabitants tend to leak back into this country.

Since they’re broke (poor, destitute), yet have skills in landscaping, carpentry, whatever, company owners know that they can pay them sub-Minimum-Wage rates, right here in America.

What are they gonna do? o_O Tell the cops and get deported? :D Read the rest of this entry »

What Is Your Jobs Plan? [Part 01]

Brokered Conventions, Yet Again…

I’m an Independent. I can vote for whomever I want.

In order for me to vote for…. ok, wait..

I can’t actually see myself voting for any of the current Republican candidates, so let me not even type that. :D

Let’s assume that what I told y’all about 2 1/2 months ago, back in December 2011 (which the pundits, late as usual, are talking about on every single television show now) happens, which is a “Brokered Convention” => http://billcammack.com/2011/12/11/brokered-conventions/

At this point, they’re also being called “Open Conventions” and “Contested Conventions”, but the song remains the same. If none of the Republicans secure the required 50% of delegates (1,144 out of 2,286) to clinch the nomination, none of them can claim to be the legitimate nominee at the Republican National Convention, which means that any of them, or, more importantly, NONE OF THEM might be nominated, and some totally different dude might be selected to run against Obama, such as Mitch Daniels, Chris Christie, Jed Bush, Paul Ryan, or Haley Barbour.

In my opinion, this so-called “Contested Convention” will be highly likely if Romney loses in his home state of Michigan, which we’ll know after tomorrow, Tuesday, February 28, 2012.

Romney’s main problem is his inauthenticity. His other problem is his religion, even though none of the pundits want to talk about it.. They just keep saying “He’s going to have problems winning in the South, and any state where 40% of the voters classify themselves as Evangelical Christians” and don’t bother to discuss it any more than that. Romney himself doesn’t want to discuss it, as he keeps saying “My Faith” and refuses to utter the word Mormon, so we’ll see how that works out for him.

Anyway.. The point is that so far, Romney has only been able to pull ~30% of the vote in any given situation. This means that if Gingrich drops out (which he won’t, because he’s still trying to get Romney back for dragging his name through the mud with attack ads that are still being watched on YouTube every day), that leaves the other ~70% for Santorum and Paul, and with Paul only pulling around 20%, that leaves a consistent 50% for Santorum to potentially snarf, which will be important once the contests change over from proportionally assigning delegates to winner-takes-all, after April 1, 2012:

conservapedia.com/Presidential_Election_2012

It is virtually impossible for a candidate to win a majority of delegates before June 2012.

About 1,144 delegates[2] are needed to win the nomination. Primaries held before April 1, 2012, will award delegates based on the proportionality of the votes (except Florida claimed to award winner-take-all, at half the delegate count, for its primary on Jan. 31). Beginning on April 1, the traditional winner-take-all system may be used by states, but the second biggest state, Texas (155 delegates), will be proportional, and the biggest state, California (172 delegates), will be winner-take-all by each of its 53 congressional districts.[3] Only seven primaries totalling a small number of delegates are winner-take-all; New York will only be winner take all if one candidate wins more than 50% of the vote.[4]

Today is February 27, 2012.. If this source is correct, this tomfoolery will continue until June, which is FOUR. MONTHS. FROM. NOW! :D haha By that time, all of their names will be mud before the Democrats even begin to tell their side of the story.

So I got sidetracked. :D Let me start again…

WHAT. IS. YOUR. #*$&#^#$. JOBS PLAN???

I’m an Independent. I can vote for whomever I want.

Assuming a Brokered Convention, in which case, there would be a Republican running that I might actually vote for… In order for me to vote for that person, it would require that a) they could prove to me that President Obama’s plan is *BAD*, and b) they could convince me that their jobs plan is *BETTER*.

It’s really that simple.

As you can tell if you’ve been following my blog, I’ve been writing about this Republican nomination process since September 08, 2011, which is more than 5 months, or approximately 150 days, and I have no idea whatsoever how anything that the current Republican candidates are saying translates into Americans receiving job opportunities, either in the near or the foreseeable future.

2012 Iowa Caucus Results

Posted by Bill Cammack On January - 4 - 2012

Here are the reported Iowa Caucus results:

Romney: 30,015 votes (25%)
Santorum: 30,007 votes (25%)
Paul: 26,219 votes (21%)
Gingrich: 16,251 votes (13%)
Perry: 12,604 votes (10%)
Bachmann: 6,073 votes (05%)
Huntsman: 745 votes (01%)
Cain: 58 votes (I heard a Fox News broadcaster mention this, but haven’t seen it in a chart)

What Had Happened Was…

I had predicted Paul, Romney, Gingrich, Santorum, Perry, Bachmann, Huntsman, Cain, so the top 4 got jumbled and the bottom four were correct.

Cain was going to be last, because he’s out of the race now, but he had qualified for Iowa before he dropped out. Read the rest of this entry »

Scorched Earth Politics

Posted by Bill Cammack On October - 28 - 2011

Here’s what’s currently happening to your life:

Apparently, (and if you disagree, feel free to click here to post your thoughts in the comment section of this post) the Republicans are more interested in making President Barack Obama a “One-Term President” than they are in making sure that you have a job, have personal safety, or keep the house you currently live in.

Obama vs. Romney 2012

Posted by Bill Cammack On October - 12 - 2011

Republican Debate

Bloomberg Television and Charlie Rose made an interesting decision last night, by choosing to focus the entire Republican candidate debate on economic issues.

[Disclosure: I've edited video for Bloomberg Television, Charlie Rose, ABC and Fox News. www.linkedin.com/in/billcammack]

This was interesting because the candidates don’t have 90 minutes worth of things to say about the economy or jobs.

Of course, Herman Cain talked about his 999 plan, which Michele Bachmann snapped on him with something like “Turn those numbers over, and the devil is in the details”, indicating that if you flip it, it becomes 666: Read the rest of this entry »

You’re Going To Have To Debate President Obama

Posted by Bill Cammack On September - 23 - 2011

I still say the Republicans haven’t fielded their real Presidential Candidates yet, and they’re using the current set as bait, to see how the Democrats treat them and how their ideas are received by the American public.

The names I mentioned a long time ago, Chris Christie and Paul Ryan are popping up more and more frequently on the talk shows, while the Republican pundits look and sound less and less confident of their chances to defeat President Obama in the upcoming election, as well they should.

I had wanted to talk about specifics about last night’s Google / Fox News debate, but the candidates’ commentary and behavior was redundant, so I’m just going to keep this very simple, so simpletons can understand this.

Whomever the Republicans send to the big dance is GOING. TO. HAVE. TO. DEBATE. BARACK. OBAMA. Read the rest of this entry »

Jon Huntsman

If it were up to me, which, of course, it isn’t.. I’d send Jon Huntsman to attempt to defeat President Obama in the next election.

IMO, he carries himself Presidentially, which makes sense, since he served in the administrations of four United States presidents… Something’s gotta rub off, right? >:D Read the rest of this entry »
