Newt Woos Washington State Voters With Presentations in Olympia, Federal Way, and Everett

(Bright Citizen) Newt Gingrich impressed Washingtonians clearly laying out why America was weakening under Barak Obama.

The meeting in Federal Way Washington went into overflow.  Two buses of campaign staff arrived at a local for a meeting in the conference room.  The air was filled with electricity as the standing room only venue listened intently to what Newt had to say.

Newt encouraged everyone to get to caucus on 3 March as well as tweet or Facebook immediately that ‘a vote for Newt is a vote for gasoline at $2.50 a gallon’.

The meeting was the first time the Puget Sound area outside of Seattle has seen a presidential candidate in person.

Maybe a little competition is a good thing.20120224-152259.jpg

Facebook and social networking

Many ask me of Facebook will continue. The answer is who knows. It is very clear that busy people don’t truly use it or spend time on it like they used to.
When I see people always logged into Facebook (online) I wonder, are they engaged with the people that surround them at that time?
Don’t let social networking rob you of time, money, or life. You’ve probably got 70-120 years to live- read a book, take a walk with the spouse, throw a ball around with you kids. Do let life pass you by

Is Madonna Ready For Retirement From Live Entertainment?

Madonna Ciccone AKA 1990s pop star Madonna performed for the 2012 Superbowl Half-time show.  For a fifty something, she looked good but her age showed despite her well-known effort to remain physically fit.  In the Halftime show we noticed a few things.

  • Her twists and turns and dancing were slow and conservative.
  • Her singing was indistinguishable
  • Her supporting cast showed more youth and energy in the performance.

Conclusion, probably time for Ms. Ciccone to start turning down those requests to perform in front of such a large and diverse audience.

It would seem that Lady Gaga may have taken her crown for provocative and music and video on fluttering on the edge of immoral.

What do you think?

Mitt Romney’s Mormonism May Kill Him

(BrightCitizen.com)  Is America ready for a Mormon President?  We at BrightCitizen believe that Mitt Romney has to do a lot of convincing to get the evangelical Christians on his side.  Jack Welch the former CEO of General Electric said in a recent interview,

Look, it’s hardly a secret that we support former Governor Romney. He is, in our view, the most qualified and electable Republican candidate left in the race.

But we‘re concerned that Romney is not facing reality the way it is – which is that his religion is going to become a major issue. In fact, we can imagine that come the general election, Romney’s taxes and his years at Bain will be background noise and the foreground roar will be all about Mormonism.

And why wouldn’t it be? His religion was an issue last time Romney ran for national office, and America’s large bloc of vocal Evangelical Christians, which any Republican candidate will need to win the White House, has clearly signaled once again that Mormonism is an area of deep concern. And yet, even with that evident reality, it appears this is Romney’s Kodak Moment. He’s hoping and waiting.

Hoping and waiting is not a winning strategy.

You can read the whole article and see the interview here.  But the point is, Mitt Romney tends to hope things just go away as he did when there were calls to release his taxes and he scoffed.

ABC News Attack On Newt Gingrich Just Didn’t Work

(BrightCitizen.com) ABC News strategically aired an interview they did with Newt Gingrich’s second wife in hopes of taking down the former congressman a day before a big vote in South Carolina.  Many think that taking Gingrich our of the race will increase Obama’s chances of winning if it is just a battle of the apparently ‘boring’ candidates Obama and Romney for president this year.

Of course, most people can read the motivation of interview.  Again, this is an example of ABC News trying to influence the presidential GOP race.  A great way to show ABC what you think is by not watching their programs or visiting their website.  Fewer views equal less advertising funds from companies.

How did people take this underhanded attack?  One commenter on a news site said,

“I don’t care what Newt did the last 12 years of his life.  As long as he can fix what the current occupant of the Whitehouse did the last 3.5 years.   Enough of Obama”

Rick Santorum Defeats Mitt Romney In Iowa US Presidential Primary

It’s official. Congratulations to Rick Santorum for beating Mitt Romney in the Iowa US Presidential.  Read more here.

Oops! Turns out Rick Santorum beat Mitt Romney in Iowa. Does it matter?

A new vote tally shows Rick Santorum won the Iowa caucuses by 34 votes over runner-up Mitt Romney. But aside from bragging rights, the shift in results is unlikely to affect the GOP race.

Now probably time for Mr. Santorum to retire and get behind Newt Gingrich.  Mitt Romney is just not good enough.
