Snowed In

Currently my county is under a blizzard warning which seems to mean that if I go outside and drive my car I will be breaking the law. So it seems that I am snowed in. Today I had my first snow day in 5 years. When I was at BGSU we never cancelled class so that explains such a wide gap. It is a good thing I didn't go up to Detriot today, because I would probably be stuck there for at least a day.

The reason why I was invited up to Detriot was to see Mitt Romney making his official announcement to run for President in 2008. As you probably know Romney is my choice for President in the upcoming election for several reasons. First off people have different priorities when it comes to what they want to see in their candidate. Whether it be social, security, economic, or foreign policy issues everyone has a different proirities than the next person. The reason why I support Romney is of his economic and foreign policy stances. I know a lot of people slam him for his possible flip flops on social issues like abortion and gay marriage. Frankly I could care less what he thinks on these issues, what a social conservative should look for is not what the candidate says or even believes but what he does. We are all told that actions speak louder than words so if Romney had led the fight against gay marriage in his state then who cares what he thinks. If elected President do you think he would start selecting pro choice judges, more embryonic stem cells, and in favor of gay marriage? The number one goal of every President serving their first term is to be re-elected. Do you think a republican would start doing that and expect social conservative support for re-election? Obviously not.
Now I will admit Romney is not perfect, but every candidate has their faults. Who ever you support in the upcoming two year campaign I hope that you base your choice after research and close examination on what the candidates want to do in the Oval Office and what you like to see get done.
