Failure to Point out the pacts

I really hate when political figure, or anyone for that, warp the facts to seem like there right.

I recently read a book about Democrat and Republican financial patterns, called Unequal Democracy. Throughout most of the book, it talked about how Your wage will increase more under a Democratic administration then a Republican administration, by .002 % diffrence. Now, that alot, I'll admit that. Yet, the author spent literally over 200 pages drilling this one point home. It was literally making me wish he could get a new point, then all of a sudden, The book was done.

Yet, He failed to point out one obvious point. What do you save from taxes under a Republican President?

exactly. Failure to Point out the facts.

Who to Choose 2012

Well, when GO FIGURE has it's first regular segment, Who to Choose- 2012. In this segment we'll introduce New Politician's every week and see who has the best chance of winning in 2012.

Well lets start with 5 Politicians, Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin.

Mitt Romney- The former Governer of Massachuttes, and a rich man. He's basicaly clean cut and has been touring the Country lately. He should easily be able to win the West, and depending on who runs, The North East. His achiles heel seem's to be The South, espicialy the Evanglical Southerner's. Another achiles heel would be his RomneyCare in Maasachutes, espicialy with the Health Care crisis now.

Tim Pawlenty- The Governer of Minnesota, who has decided to not seek re-election. Now this man is very Conservative, and a good part of him is he is down to earth. Now, he has no achiles heel and as far as I know he has no bone's in the closet. Now, a set back would be of Many Politicians run and split up the base. That would mean that none would be left for him.

Mike Huckabee- The former Governer of Arkansas and host of "Huckabee". Now, His achiles heel, is also a great strength. He is an Evanglical extremist, and this means that the Bible Belt would be his for the taking. Now The North-East likely wouldnt go for him, but if he plays teh political game right, He could win the westm and win the nomination.

Sarah Palin- BLAH,BLAH,BLAH. You know who she is. and my thoughts? She wont run. Yet, she has a huge base, eirily similar to Mike Huckabee's base. Yet, she also does good with other Republican's, making her like a strong Mike Huckabee. Now, like I said, She probaly wont run.

Newt Gingrich- The Former speaker of the house, and a legend in his own way, Newt Gingrich. Newt Gingrich achiles heel is the many scandals he has faced in his time, yet if this hasn't stopped him yet, the nothing will.

Now these 5 will be my regulars, but I would liek to add somebody to this list now, Dick Cheney.

Dick Cheney- The Evil Emperor himself, Dick Cheney. Though he isn't the most popular figure in Politics many People are wanting more and more too draft Cheney 2012. Now, if Cheney popularity continues to increase, He should win easily, He has no specific base, but his base is a little bit of every conservative group.

Dick Cheney, Barack Obama, and the C.I.A.

Today, I want to take an indepth look at our former Vice President of the United States Richard Cheney recent take against Barack Obama.

Dick Cheney in recent day's has come out against Barack Obama's Security policy's. This is making many liberal's and Obama supporters angry. In their argument, they say that teh Bush administration was an utter failure, essentialy with handling the economy, and started war's with no logical reason's, Iraq. This is understanable, essentialy with the economy tanking last year, and the fact Bush's sole reason for invading Iraq was to destroy W.M.D.'s and to the public knowledge there were no W.M.D.'s. Barack used these argument's to win in 2008, and change these policy's to a liberal view.

Now, Barack Obama want's to put former Bush adminisration on trial for torturing former terrorist in order to get information from them. Now, Obama plans to expand this and investigate the C.I.A., even though he promised not too investigate the C.I.A.

Now, Congress is backing Obama, obviously, and no=one is sticking up for teh C.I.A. and calling Obama out, except Dick Cheney. In a recent Interview, Dick Cheney has said that the Obama adminstration should not investigate the C.I.A. because it puts American's at risk for attack and in all seriousness it may. The C.I.A. without investigating terrorist's could allow terrorist's to attack the U.S.A.

Now, I am only basing this on what I know, for all I know, this is a completely stupid and retarded statement. Yet, what do you know?

Switch-a-roo the Political Move.

Charlie Crist, governer of Florida, and Senatorial Canidate for Florida, has appointed George LeMieux to fill in Mel Martinez's Senate Seat that he will resign from in the fall.

Now, what does this mean for the Political future of Florida? Charlie Crist in simplest tems is using George LeMieux to keep his seat warm. Now, why did George LeMieux agree to this? In simplest term Charlie Crist is keeping his Governer seat warm.

George LeMieux, has been eyeing the Governer seat for quite some time, and now that Charlie Crist will not seek re-election, this allows George LeMieux to run for Governer in 20120. Now, to make his resume look better, and as a former Senator, election should be a breeze for him, and with a Charlie Crist endorsment, George LeMieux should easily become Governer of Florida.

Now, Charlie Crist popular governer of Florida, made a smart Political move. He took a want-to-be Governer, and put him on the seat he wants. So what did Charlie Crist plan out? Just a simple switch-a-roo, that's all.

The Liberal Lion, Ted Kennedy died yesterday, leaving behind a legacy of both controversy and idealism.

Ted Kennedy life dream was passage of Universal Healthcare, though he never saw it in his lifetime, The Democrats in Washington could use Ted Kennedy's death to achieve Universal Healthcare.

Yet, what does this mean for America if Universal Healthcare is passed?

3 words. Taxes, Deficits, and Socialism.
