Ok folks, just what the Hell is going on here? Are we really that determined to let what's left of our country slip from our grasp? I mean when I hear about some poll that actually shows that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Secretary of State Hitlery Clinton are who most Americans are looking at to take over from Barry, I gotta tell ya, it scares the crap outta me! But, apparently, both of these less than stellar individuals are said to be leading their respective packs, tied at 41 percent each in a head-to-head presidential poll in Iowa. At least, according to a new survey by Quinnipiac University.
The survey of 1,256 registered Iowa voters which was taken July 15-17 found that Chridtie edged Clinton by a slim margin of 37 percent to 36 percent among independents and leads 45 percent to 35 percent among men. But Clinton, the poll found, beat Christie among Iowa women by 47 percent to 37 percent. And when it came to favorability ratings, 52 percent of Iowans said they have a favorable view of Clinton, compared to 41 percent who do not. Christie, however, registered a 42 percent favorability rating compared to only 16 percent who said they didn't care for him. Personally, if I had been one of those 1,256 people I’d have been in the 16 precent.
Peter Brown, assistant director of Quinnipiac's Polling Institute, said in a statement, "Christie's favorability ratio of almost 3-1 is impressive." He did go on to say, "The question is whether he can sustain it as he becomes better known. If so, he could be a strong contender in 2016. Quinnipiac has tested Clinton against a variety of Republicans in a number of states, and Christie seems to be running the best so far." I'd like to think that it's still way too soon to be looking at anyone, especially these two, as being our next president, because, quite frankly, I wouldn't care to see either one in the White House. There has to be someone we can all agree on.
In another one-on-one match-up, Clinton leads Republican Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin by 46 percent to 39 percent among Iowa voters. The Quinnipiac survey also found that Christie tops 'Slow Joe' Biden 49 percent to 32 percent in Iowa, and Walker leads Biden 42 to 39 percent. It wasn't all that long ago that I was looking to Marco Rubio as being the torch bearer for our side in 2016, but that sure ain't gonna happen now. Now I'm not sure who I'd be willing to support. But I do know that in a contest between Christie and Clinton a vote for Christie wouldn’t be all that much different than a vote for Clinton. Thank God it's still only 2013.
Look, the bottom line here is that there just isn't all that much that separates these two boobs on most of the truly important issues. For instance, Christie's a big believer in the bogus theory of 'climate change' just as Hitlery does. Christie is far from being a conservative, and therefore agrees with Clinton on far more of the issues than he disagrees with her. If these two were to be their respective party's nominees, where would be the incentive to vote for one over the other? What we do not need is another election that is nothing more than a popularity contest, we need to elect someone qualified, not a novice or a socialist. Nor someone who hates America.
One thing is for sure, there will be no Ronald Reagan this time around to come riding to our rescue, sweeping in as he did in 1980 to clean up the God awful mess that was left behind by Jimmy ‘The Jerkoff’ Carter. Of course, I think it's safe to say that the mess left behind by Carter pales in comparison to the mess that will ultimately be left behind by Barry. But, ya know, as much as I hate to say it, even if we did have someone like a Reagan, I doubt very seriously whether a majority of the American electorate would be smart enough to elect him or her. Sadly the America of 2013 is not the America of 1980. If only it were.
Finally, I’d like to mention the fact that I say a little prayer each and every night that a conservative someone will come along who is capable of truly uniting we Americans in the same manner that Reagan did. Someone capable of making us proud to be Americans. And someone capable of convincing enough of the America people that we all are going to need to work together if we our nation is to survive. And someone who can convince those in doubt, that a strong America is just what the world needs. A world that seems to be growing a little less stable with each passing day because America has decided to remain on the sidelines for the last 5 years.
