The hyped dissatisfaction among Conservatives with the Republican field for President, along with a rollercoaster South Carolina primary, may provide interesting insight into a new a trend of Conservative Romanticism within the GOP.

According to the University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs website, President Obama’s cumulative State of the Union addresses score lower than any other modern president on the Flesch-Kincaid readability score.

I would file this as interesting but nothing too important.

Seriously, is this a debate of serious ideas and issues, or is it a pep rally for the front runner to use to fulfill his need to be glorified in front of an adoring audience?

I am bit puzzled over the attacks on Mitt Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital by his Republican rivals recently. I know he is the front-runner, and in being so will be the main target for their fire … but these are the Republican primaries, for Pete’s sake. Attacking Capitalism?? That’s like Dem’s hammering each other for being too cozy with labor unions.

Frontrunner Mitt Romney is taking a lot of slings and arrows from his fellow candidates over his past record as a capitalist at Bain and Company. Romney summed up my initial feelings in the ABC New Hampshire debate last Saturday, when he said that he expected an attack on capitalism from President Obama, but was surprised that it was coming from his rivals on the stage.

This isn’t meant to be a long post, but I am interested in the thoughts of others.

Nancy Pelosi had a press conference today with her House colleagues where she was asked about President Obama’s recent appointments to both the National Labor Relations Board and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Pelosi stated she was both “very proud” and “very glad” that he made these appointments.

So what say you? Anyone?

With only 5 days to go until the Iowa Caucuses, but yet a mind-numbing 12 weeks to the Illinois Primary, there is still a lot of time for me to think about for whom I am going to cast my vote. Unfortunately for me, by the time March 20th rolls around, many of the current crop of GOP candidates will be long gone, and although they may be still on the ballot, casting a vote for them will be pointless.

Instead of worrying about that, I will take this opportunity… pre-Iowa… to provide my two cents into the conversation. Tell me where I am wrong!

Want to talk about Obama’s failures? Opine away. Want to sound off on the cronyism in the White House? This is your chance. Want to push for more useless, poison-pill legislation for purely political reasons? Have at it.

What say you?
