Sanford, a Republican who admitted an extramarital affair in 2009, was ready to quit politics for good if he was not victorious in South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District. He will replace Republican Tim Scott, who was appointed to the Senate.
The former governor — once a rising GOP star considered presidential material — was an early favorite in the Republican district, which Mitt Romney carried by 18 percentage points in the 2012 election. But the revelation that Sanford’s ex-wife, Jenny, accused the candidate of trespassing at her home caused the National Republican Congressional Committee to withdraw its support in mid-April and gave Colbert Busch an opening.
Have you noticed how in our country, and elsewhere, some men get rich, achieve success and, then, they want power. Power over the “little people.” [Success is Mitt Romney's platform. Newt Gingrich thinks he is the rightful arbiter of right and wrong and based on that should win! Santorum, not rich, yearns for power, too.] Why do rich people want to control our lives, make the poor accede to their agenda and let them define for us, right from wrong? Rick Santorum, would impose his personal, religious agenda on us and that of his Roman Catholic Church
Our Souls Are Worth More Than Any Amount of Success or Money!
Romney is only concerned for those who have achieved success. These candidates are the minions of the elite TOP 1% of theAmericanpopulation. One of the true statements in The Bible is, “Money is the root of all evil.” Mitt Romney, do y’all believe that in the Mormon Church? I recall that you are/were a high official in your religion. Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, how about your Roman Catholic Church? Newt Gingrich, as president, would put us in jeopardy of being controlled by the infamous “leader whose name we dare not speak.” Each of us must have a personal relationship with God which keeps us in sync with His plan for us.
Lincoln, Roosevelt and King
Lord, send us another Abraham Lincoln or a Franklin Delano Roosevelt or a Martin Luther King! America has become a dismal place. Those who seek public office don’t fear punishment for lying to us. The make passionate statements one day and “walk them back” the next day. All without blinking their eyes! They admit that meet in “quiet rooms” to discuss and plan our fate.They meet in their convention and spend a lot of time making a platform: A list of all the policies their political party stands for…until the next convention. Sadly, there is no one to police these platforms and make sure they are enacted in governance…if they win the election. What do the political parties do in the non-election years? Just plan for the next election? Why aren’t they actively growing their party down to the grassroot’s level?
Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum
Republicans are not happy with their choice of candidates for president. These men have the kind of baggage which says that these men are less than ideal for President of the United States. But, GOP Voters they must “hold their nose(s)” and chose a nominee.
Way before he started the campaign, President Obama promised us he would be our “Warrior for the middle-class.” He would restore us who seen the TOP 1% bring home a paycheck grown by 300% and ours by approximately one-third of that.
Responding to claims his “Buffett rule” is class warfare, President Obama on Thursday said asking a billionaire to pay same tax rate as a teacher makes him “warrior for the middle class.”
After showing the American public just how out of touch and ugly their motivations, values and goals are, we, the public have not connected to their campaigns. Mitt Romney said, “I don’t care about the very poor,” and Rick, there’s no taking that back. Must I “go to the video tape? Newt, has championed and employed the residuum of racial hatred of days gone by in the South. Rick Santorum, unlike our great President, John F. Kennedy, has not said that as a catholic president, he would not be influenced or guided by the Catholic church. Some republican voters wish there were more time for others to throw their hat in the ring. So, what have the GOP decided to do? They now are concerned about the middle-class and the poor. Their words are hollow. There is no passion. They have chosen the wrong path, because, “we have seen them without their clothes off!”

(CNN) – Real estate titan Donald Trump was all over the map Friday in his speech to conservatives, criticizing a range of Republicans from Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal to former GOP nominee Mitt Romney–and arguing that the country “is in a total mess.”
The billionaire also cooked up a plate of his own solutions for fixing the economy while speaking to the audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference. Among his advice: Immigration reform could be a “suicide mission” for Republicans and taking oil from Iraq could help reboot the country’s economy.
The American people are grateful that Mitt Romney‘s secret feelings about “47 Percent” of us were exposed. Yesterday, I heard Mitt Romney say that the video of him speaking (about the middle and lower classes), does not contain his true feelings. No. Mitt, in the video you speak without pause or hesitation, but with sincere conviction. I believe you were telling rich, white people who the racist or elite feelings you were expressing made you one of them: People who believed the things that you were saying about themselves. Your plan was to identify with these rich donors and get them to write big checks for your doomed campaign.
If you missed seeing and hearing the “secret video” of Mitt Romney, here it is again, and thanks to Mother Jones Magazine:

Mitt Romney’s “47 Percent” Comments
Mitt Romney, the people believe you were speaking how you truly felt. You said yesterday, “I wish I’d used different words…” Mitt different words would still have presented how you really feel or they would be lies. ”We, the People” voted accordingly last November. It is pathetic that your running partner, Paul Ryan, was so affected by losing that, months later, he continues to act like the election did not happen. Yesterday he present the Ryan Budget, Version 3.0, which is almost like his preceding budgets. In Paul’s mind they are new. Analysts do not share his delusion. Mitt, did your losing scar this poor boy for life? So, it istrue: ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES! —GoodOleWoody
