Why I Am Not Impressed With Candidates Who Have a Plan They Promise Will Bring Prosperity
The other day, I was listening to the GOP Debates, and please understand my critique here is not aimed at the GOP, as I consider myself a libertarian leaning right, so I am in line with "true conservative" principles, minus the religious stuff, so I wanted to clear that up in full-disclosure first.
Anyway, my complaint is this; whereas, the latest GOP Primary Televised Debates were better than the last with less in-fighting and gotcha politics with personal vendetta like innuendos and attacks, I was still felt lacking as a member of the living room TV audience.
Let me explain.
This time everyone discussed their "plan" some revealed for analytical scrutiny, others "secret" plans, I guess like the ObamaCare Bill when Nancy Pelosi said, "well, you are just going to have to vote on it, to see what's in it," when asked why the Congress had not revealed the multi-thousand page bill to the public prior to the vote.
You see, I don't do secrets and have little trust in any politician, and before you criticize that stance, our founding gentlemen warned us to be skeptical of the leadership of any nation or government.
Okay so, as I listened to all these Republican Candidates talking about their Plan, several of them stated that their plans were 20, 50, 90, or 100+ page plans.
And thus, apparently implying they are quite comprehensive in nature.
Sorry, don't buy it.
First of all, a plan is only as good as the strength of character, will, and integrity of the team behind it.
Second, anyone can write a plan, in fact, as a writer I could write you a 40,000 word plan, well over 100-pages, with graphs, charts, bullet points, and a great use of white space in 72-hours by myself.
So, I am not so impressed with the announcement of a plan.
President Obama talked about a "plan" too, I believe it was all about "hopeful changes" or something of that nature, but obviously that plan was bogus or the team behind it was lacking somehow.
So, it's great to talk about plans, but not in 30 second to 2-minute increments with more adjectives than Howard Cosell announcing a 106 yard kick-off return.
Quite frankly, I need more, why - because as citizens, taxpayers, and voters we've all been burned before.
Come on GOP you can do better than this, in fact you must, our nation depends on it.
If you are going to play a game of rhetoric with the greatest teleprompter reader of all time, you had better come with bigger guns to the political battlespace, that's all I am saying here.
So, please think on it.
