Republicans and The Perfect Candidate?

The Republican Party seems to be struggling to find a candidate it can unite around. One barrier may be a mindset that if you are in government you are part of the problem, and if you are not in government, you are part of the solution -- whatever those problems or solutions may be. I am not sure that the problem is government tenure. The main problem in Washington today is that we have a president who basically has no experience doing anything important or relevant. Then he surrounded himself with advisors and staff that are inexperienced as well as being marxists. Then you add in the fact that he wants to "transform America" and you have a recipe for disaster. A "community organizer" is not a good resume for the job of President of the United States!

In 1980, the most conservative Republican in a generation won the election. But why did Reagan win? The number-one reason was because President Carter had mismanaged the government so badly that it affected the economy adversely, and many Democrats were willing to vote against him. Reagan also benefited from the fact that he could explain conservative policies in a way not heard by most Americans before. He had honed his speaking and exposition skills first as an actor, then as the governor of California, and then on a series of radio commentary shows, where he explained conservative principles to his audience. Reagan dominated Carter during their presidential debates and as a result he won.

Conservatives want and need a candidate who can articulate, convince, and encourage the implementation of conservative principles. That takes some experience and understanding. However, we also need a candidate who can implement conservative executive policy and legislative initiatives extremely well. We don't have time for another president who has to come down from an extreme learning curve or needs on-the-job training.

Why can a Conservative win? The number-one reason is because President Obama has mismanaged the government so badly that it has affected the economy adversely, and many Democrats are willing to vote against him. The Tea Party ranks are filled with Democrats who want anyone but Obama.

There are several candidates who can do these things. They can powerfully expound on conservative principles. Plus they have already been a participant in the conservative revolution in the '90s. We need someone who can lead another conservative revolution now! That person is out there! Will we find the perfect candidate? Perhaps but it is late!
Should we wait and have a brokered convention? That, in my opinion, is very dangerous because that does not leave much time for a candidate to setup a winning campaign! It does not mean that it can not be done but it does mean that it will be tough and we should not take that chance!

As a former democrat I can assure you that what you are hearing from the lame street news media is exactly what the liberals want, make it appear that Republicans should wait and have a brokered convention. These liberal minions would have everyone believe that the current batch of Republican candidates are weak and could not defeat Obama.

Does anyone really think that the current candidates would implement cap and trade? Not likely. Plus the climate science is radically different now. Would any of these candidates not attempt to stop "Obamacare"? Probably not. The current group of candidates has a lifetime ACU rating that says that they are all conservatives! Then if you add in their ability to debate Captain Zero you will have a winner.

The sooner we unite around a general election candidate, the better. Several have the ability to beat Obama and hit the ground running on day one, with executive orders and legislation ready to roll. Let's roll with that person. Besides if we elect a strong conservative congress then we will be ready to tackle the damage that Captain Zero and his crew have done. If we wait for the perfect candidate then we will lose! The America that we love will suffer for our indecision, we need to stop Obama! That must be our top priority and stop our search for the perfect candidate!

Which candidate does the conservative political surveys indicate would beat Obama(Captain Zero)? Repeatedly these surveys have shown several candidates have the ability to be the real conservative candidate that could beat Captain Zero! So it appears that conservatives have a choice that would in fact beat Obama. therefore, we need to start converging around one candidate as the perfect candidate! If conservatives remain in this indecision mode the winner will be Captain Zero!
