For the past few weeks, it seems that Rick Perry's campaign has run out of significant steam. And it doesn't appear that he's got a lot of alternatives left to regain momentum. So, I guess that's why he decided to focus on his pro-life stance to try to attack Romney and Cain, claiming they're not tough enough on the issue.
Now, I realize that the subject of abortion is extremely important to many in our nation and heads many lists of concerns. Yet, there are also many other things we have to contend with as well.
At the moment, our economy's in the tank and it doesn't look like there's any kind of remedy on the Democrat side. At the same time, our foreign policy and national security just took a huge turn for the worse via troop withdrawals from Iraq. We have monstrous continuing problems with un and under-employment, a housing market that's stagnant and an administration that wants to increase national debt with a hare-brained stimulus scheme already proven to not work. And it would take me two or three more pages to list the morasses of education, potential tax-increases, health care and illegal immigration.
Consequently, in view of all these critical issues, what Perry's abortion stance got me thinking about was, is this really the time to address that discussion? Because, if that's the deciding factor of the next election, we could wind up with a totally incompetent boob in the White House who happens to be pro-life. And I don't think I have to do much explaining about the perils an incompetent boob can create, because we've got one now that's a perfect example.
So, for me, as important as the life issue is, I think I'd like to have someone at the helm that's the best there is at economic issues, taxes, homeland security, the military, national defense and securing our borders and leave the abortion issue to individuals themselves, their religious beliefs and their Lord.
That's it for today folks.
Adios
