For those of you in other parts of the country besides beautiful Wisconsin we are having a republican Senate primary election this coming Tuesday; August 14, 2012. We have four impressive candidates looking for the people’s stamp of approval to run against the most liberal vote in the House of Representatives, the democrat candidate for Senate Tammy Baldwin who is collecting funds nationwide through homosexual activist organizations.
The most well known candidate running in the republican primary is former governor Tommy Thompson. He is considered a slam dunk victory over Baldwin by some if he should win the primary and he is committed to repealing Obama Care. He will vote the republican line guaranteed at least 98% of the time. But he is a professional politician who believes government can solve problems and that is the problem. He is not a conservative but a moderate who having served in the Bush administration knows how Washington works. All reasons all should fear that potential 2% where he might undermine conservative reforms. (Why 2% rather than 1 or 5? Wisconsin is the dairy state)
Tommy Thompson is a disaster waiting to happen from my perspective, the common man’s perspective. He represents everything republican that brought us to where we are today.
Mark Neumann, a former conservative congressman that took courageous stands for fiscal conservatism when he was in office, was who I first thought of when our current Senator Herb Kohl announced he would resign. A conservative politician who is well known, he has lost every state wide race he was in. And he is a politician though he is accomplished in the private sector. He believes in small scale green energy government initiatives and has taken advantage of them. Many don’t like him for negative attacks he made against Scott Walker in the governor’s race.
He has been endorsed by conservative organizations but they have had little effect. I personally believe that if an organization that puts ‘tea party’ in their title (the tea party express) they should not be endorsing one conservative over another. It corrupts the movement.
Neumann is simply not the most conservative, is a politician and isn’t the best fit for what this nation and the world desperately needs.
Jeff Fitzgerald is a republican state assemblyman, the assembly speaker, who has given up his seat to run for the Senate. He valiantly pushed through the Walker reforms here in Wisconsin. Though he is relatively young his career in politics has not left him pure and sinless. In 2005 he voted to extend ethanol mandates across the entire state. He is a professional politician, something the public has grown to disdain. He would work for real change but I do not believe he is the best choice either.
Eric Hovde is a conservative and very successful businessman in the field of finance. He is not a politician. He understands international finance and some even call him a genius in his field. He has a large portfolio of companies and properties and though many have tried to find links between his companies and government programs few links could be found. The links that have been found have been mischaracterized and cannot be attributed to his leadership. This is an incredible accomplishment in todays world.
He admired Ronald Reagan from an early age and remained a conservative while growing up in Madison Wisconsin and having lived in Washington D.C. for over twenty years. He understands the great threat our nation is facing with its growing debt and has the conviction, skills and natural ability to offer real solutions. I see him as a real conservative and I prefer whole milk.
We will all suffer deeply if Obama is re-elected and we do not return to this nations founding principles of limited government. Our economy will collapse.
But what about the rest of the world? Europe is on the verge of economic collapse as is China, though they wont admit it. There was a time before Obama when the United States was a leader in this world and powerful leadership will be required in the very near future. Fiscal leadership in particular will be critical for the well being of many in the world. If you think things could go from bad to worse for us in the United States, things will be far worse for those in other countries when this looming financial Winter settles. The poorer and more despotic a nation is, the more that nations people will suffer.
As I hear more and more of the groundbreaking efforts of Mitt Romney with Bain Capital I grow more confident that he is the person this nation needs as President at this time as financial disaster looms here and around the world. I believe that his recent European tour suggests that he wants to lead and is capable of it.
Eric Hovde, with his expertise in international finance and understanding of the fiscal crisis facing this nation and the world, is also the man for the times. As a United States Senator he will be in a position to offer his expertise not only for this nation but the rest of the world on a scale he would otherwise not be able to achieve.
This is why I am voting for Eric Hovde. The United States is man’s greatest hope and we must understand that what we do now holds severe ramifications not only for us but for the rest of the world.
