Calling all opinions.
Who should the Republican nominee for President be in 2012, Sarah Palin? Jim DeMint? Lou Dobbs? Mike Huckabee? John McCain? Please let us know at Jumping in Pools, because the Conservative blogosphere is a diverse realm of political ideas on our side alone, and we value your opinions at Jumping in Pools.
Plus, perhaps it will bring extra attention to darkhorse Republicans who could become perspective candidates, such as DeMint who I support more and more each and every day.

Interview: LouDobbs4President.Net
#1. Why 2012? What makes this coming election different than previous ones?
Well I started the website(s) back in 2006 I believe it was and it was a draft Lou Dobbs 2008 campaign at the time. Now I just moved it for the next opportunity which is 2012.
#2. Does Lou Dobbs have any glaring weaknesses in running for President?
Personally I think Lou wouldn't have any more or any less weaknesses than any other candidate. Depending on who they are of coarse. I think one thing he'll have to do is move back closer to center. Also he has to get the message out to people to not believe the anti Lou Dobbs noise from the illegal immigration groups. Lou Dobbs in not against immigration. He's against ILLEGAL immigration just as the rest of us should be. Plus he's never held office which I think is a plus for him.
#3. What untold strength would Dobbs have?
Again he is not part of the Washington beltway but he knows how Washington works. He also has a good financial background which can only help in this economic climate. I believe he can bring a common sense approach to governing and he believes in governing from the Constitution and Bill of rights. Other strengths would be he has a large following already from his CNN show so a lot of people know of him already or in the least have heard of him. So he has good name recognition.
#4. What inspired you to create your site?
Well I was sitting in 2006 reading yet another news story about all the good jobs that were leaving this country every day of the week and seeing the total screw up job George Bush was doing at the time and I thought to myself "who in the country would make the best president?". Someone for the working class that built this country and would have a common sense approach. I wanted someone that was going to give a damn about my two little girls and what kind of future they were going to have in our country when they grew up. Also his boarder stance. While some try to make his stance on closing our boarders as some kind of anti Mexican issue it isn't. There are people of every nationality crossing over our boarders every day and we don't even know who, what or where and that's a scary thing.
So I found myself in agreement with him on a lot of issues. In the end he just seemed to have the common sense thinking that was and still is lacking in our government. He also has the guts to tell it the way it is. So I narrowed it down to Lou Dobbs. At that time he listed every company or corporation that was heading out of the country on his show and his anger about this bleeding of good paying American jobs was to me, very genuine and in line with the way most other Americans were thinking. So it was my love for our country that inspired me to try and do something to change it for the better. What I came up with was the Lou Dobbs for President 2008 website(s).
#5. Would you rather have Lou Dobbs run as a third-party candidate or for the Republican nomination? Why?
I would like to have Lou run as the Independent that he is. I saw a poll recently that said something like 35% considered themselves Independent compare to 28% Republican and 38% Democrat. Those numbers may be off a little but the point is it was almost dead even between the three parties. Meaning there are a lot more American today that consider themselves Independents than I think at any other time. I also believe most Americans see the two party system as being one and it doesn't matter which one they vote for because again they are one in the same. I think if Lou ran as an Independent he would get a huge following which would in turn bring even more in once they saw how popular a good Independent candidate could be. Despite the main street media and some political pondants that are always trying to make an Independent or third party candidate out to be useless.
We would like to thank Michael for the interview. Please check out his site.

Senator DeMint for President - southern charm.
Senator Jim DeMint (R - South Carolina), has been one of the leading voices in the Conservative opposition of the Obama agenda over 2009 legislation session, he was also a harsh opponent of big government, and wasteful spending when President Bush was still in office. Senator DeMint is a legislator all Americans can agree with on one issue or another, as his strong stance for Capitalism is welcomed during these tough times, his devotion to freedom is unwavering, and his commitment to social Conservatism is inspiring.
Senator DeMint is also not afraid to go against the Republican establishment, as though he supports the Republican candidate in the end (as do I), he is a fierce promoter of the Conservative Republican, whether it be Doug Hoffman in New York's 23rd congressional district, Marco Rubio in Florida, or Chuck DeVore in California's upcoming Senate election, he is beholden to Conservatism first and foremost.
With the expected end to Mike Huckabee's political ambitions, this leaves the Southern American without a front runner in the 2012 Republican Primaries, as Sarah Palin regardless of how Conservative she might be, is from Alaska, and Mitt Romney will not win Southern Evangelical voters.
Leaving Senator DeMint with a golden opportunity, considering DeMint is a candidate who can appeal to South Carolina Conservatives, while gaining support from Montana Libertarians, and securing the votes of National defense oriented Republicans in the New England states. DeMint can achieve what Huckabee could not, a nationwide coalition which leads to the Republican nomination, and a candidate with some good ole' southern charm.
Senator DeMint is not only a candidate who the average American will support, and a well funded grassroots will flock to, he is a candidate who can win the all important southern states, while appealing to single issue voters and large segments of the Republicans diverse base.
If you support a Senator DeMint run for the President of the United States, please send your comments to

Mike Huckabee, his Presidential ambitions are over.
Though the 2012 Presidential election is years away, at least one potential Republican candidate has absolutely no chance of receiving the nomination. Not because of low funding or even lower character, but because of the death of four police officers, blood which is on his hands.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to present to you, the Republican Dukakis, former Governor of the great state of Arkansas, and now former 2012 Presidential hopeful, Mike Huckabee. See, during his time as Governor, Huckabee became well known for commuting the sentences of violent criminals, who would then commit other violent crimes, and he would then blame someone else for those criminals being released.
Comments are welcome.

The Republican Dukakis.
This would spell defeat for Dukakis in the 1988 Presidential election, however, with the mass murder of 4 police officers in Washington, it appears a Dukakis moment has occurred for a once bright Republican Presidential hopeful.
Maurice Clemmons was sentenced to 60 years in jail for burglary and theft of property, in addition to already serving 48 years for five felony convictions, and facing up to another 95 years on various crimes. This man had his sentence commuted by Governor Mike Huckabee (R - Arkansas), after serving just 11 years of his sentence.
Should he be found to be responsible for this horrible tragedy, it will be the result of a series of failures in the criminal justice system in both Arkansas and Washington State. He was recommended for and received a commutation of his original sentence from 1990, this commutation made him parole eligible and he was then paroled by the parole board once they determined he met the conditions at that time. He was arrested later for parole violation and taken back to prison to serve his full term, but prosecutors dropped the charges that would have held him. It appears that he has continued to have a string of criminal and psychotic behavior but was not kept incarcerated by either state.

Who should be held responsible for the murder of four police officers? Maurice Clemmons, the murderer, and Mike Huckabee, the Governor who commuted the sentence of a violent felon. While Mr.Huckabee can attempt to blame prosecutors and the parole board for what occurred, Huckabee was the one who received a recommendation, a recommendation for a man who had already been convicted of five felonies, and sentenced to at least 48 years in jail.
It was your pen, that released this menace.
Since he was commuted, Clemmons has racked up 8 felony charges in Washington, the most recent being the rape of a child, and while released on 150,000 bond, murdered four police officers in a ambush.
Governor Mike Huckabee's political career is over, if he dare run for the Republican nomination, not one Republican candidate will miss their chance to bombard him on his past mistakes, mistakes which have cost people so much, and yet... have cost him so little blame.
That is about to change.
Shame on you Huckabee.

May the police officers who we're violently murdered, rest in peace, and may the scumbag receive the death penalty, if he hasn't been killed already.

Honduras Presidential election, a success!
Today’s elections in Honduras was a huge victory for democracy and a huge embarrassment for the former leftist President Manuel Zelaya and the Obama White House.
After months of pressure from socialists, communists, and even the Obama White House, the people of Honduras have stood against the push of restoring a dictator wannabe as President, and have elected a new President. A new President who respects the Honduras Constitution, unlike most of the world, which has opposed the following of the important document.
For those who are unaware of the full situation, several months ago the former President of Honduras, a dictator wannabe was pushing a national vote on dissolving term limits, and securing his dream of a dictatorship in Honduras, however, the people of Honduras, the Congress, Supreme Court, members of all political parties, and the Military was on the side of the Honduras Constitution, which declares certain parts of the Constitution cannot be changed.
Dissolving term limits, and pushing a dictatorship is not allowed. Thus, all of the above mentioned, kicked the dictator wannabe the hell out of the Nation (on order from the Honduras Supreme Court, following a requirement in the Constitution), standing for their Constitution, freedoms, Republic, Democracy, and standing against communism, statism, dictatorships, and International pressure to restore a thug who violated their Constitution.
Honduras has just completed a task few Nations in Latin America have ever done, they have stood strong against tyranny in the ballot box, and they have stood proud for their freedoms. A proud day for all freedom loving folks in America, and the world.

Will troop increase be approved?
With a troop decision finally made, after spending months golfing, focusing on health care, campaigning for Corzine and Deeds, intentionally nominating the former Congressman John McHugh as Secretary of the Army to takeover a congressional seat, and bowing to the Emperor of Japan, the decision on whether or not our troops will receive additional support, is now in the hands of Congress.
Will the House of Representatives and the United States Senate support additional troop increases? That is the question that keeps me up at night, because I know the final vote will be as close as the health care vote was in the House of Representatives, except this vote is needed to secure victory, to defend freedom, and to defeat evil, unlike the health care legislation.
We have 177 elected Republicans in the House of Representatives, I expect 176 of these Republicans to support the troop increases, as the birdbrain Congressman Ron Paul will continue his reign of isolationism and defeat, which leaves us needing 42 Democrat votes to increase troop levels in Afghanistan. I'm guessing we'll be able to achieve 42 Democratic votes in addition to 176 Republican votes, however, I hate it when important measures moving through Congress have just enough support, when they should have 100% support.
The Senate will be more difficult, as of now either 42 or 43 Senators support the troop increases, and though I have not heard news over the past several weeks in regards to more Senators supporting troop increases, I would like to remain optimistic, however, I'm not sure what to expect, I have no idea if we can pull it off in the Senate.
We have 176 Congressman who support troop increases in the House of Representatives, 41 Senators in the United States Senate who definitely support troop increases, however, we need more support, support from the side of the aisle that has done more to derail the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, then our enemies.
I hope we will be able to increase our troop levels to win the War in Afghanistan, as this is a battle we must all fight for, instead of against.

Old Dogs SUCKS
That's right folks, this stinker gets a hilariously low 7% on Rotten Tomatoes. In other words, 7 people out of 100 thought this movie was bearable. Hmm...
Oh, sorry, I was just wondering what had happened to Robin William's career. He's a great actor, but man, please stop unloading these piles of crap on the American public. We can't take it any more. The same goes for John Travolta, though he has had a good film in the past decade.
So in summary, stay away from this film...it blows.

Washington to grow more partisan? Ya think!
Democrats in control = Corruption.
Though Democrats attempt to bring Republicans along for the hell ride, in most cases the Democrats in Congress and the White House are pushing through horrific legislation without Republican support, or minuscule support at the least. Not to mention, Democrats are locking Republicans out of discussions, Obama never invites Republican legislators to toss around "ideas" about the situations which face America today, and if no Republicans will join the Democrats, Democrats push through legislation without regards of the effect.
According to poll released earlier this month via Rasmussen Reports, 23% of Americans expect Washington politics to grow more cooperative, this after Democrats have rammed the stimulus package, cap & trade, health care, and judicial nominees down our throats over the past several months, not to mention Democrats have called those on the opposite side of the health care debate un-american, Nazis, operatives, etc.
I swear, these polls are going to be the death of me, because the stupidity on display is just heart breaking to understand such idiocracy amongst the American people.

Capitalist bloggers need your help.
Lets face it, the job market is horrible. Leaving folks like me, to write on blogs like this, in hopes of adding a few more bucks into my bank account. For other bloggers, such as R.S. McCain this is a full time job to provide for his family.
With the above in mind, let us remember the hundreds of Capitalist bloggers out there who are begging for hits, clicks on advertisements, and 1 dollar donations via pay pal. This is the Christmas season, meaning our hit levels will decrease, the news stories will slow down, and begging will continue.
And......in the case of McCain, I expect he is going to have a talk with his Wife, and explain how blogging is like the lottery, you can invest hundreds of dollars and countless hours on the lottery, however, you might get lucky once or twice.
Please keep this in mind when visiting Capitalist bloggers, a lot of us are depending on you the reader, and some of us have been thrown into mental institutions because of our obsessive nature of watching the click meters. We are just hard working, pajamas wearing bloggers in need of help.

Joe's Babe of the Week
I figured I'd have to choose someone that the Main Stream Media loves to death, saying she's gorgeous. Of course, this week's babe is beautiful, and totally not ugly and incredibly annoying. Really.
This Week's Babe:
Michelle ObamaMany compare this fine flower with Jacqueline Kennedy, the gold standard when it comes to first ladies. I totally agree (wink) with this assessment (wink), because the beauty (wink) of Jackie can only be matched (wink) by Michelle. Wink...wink.
But in all seriousness, doesn't the President's Wife's beauty come from her totally-not shrewish qualities? I mean, remember when she didn't say that she had never been proud of her country until he husband was running for President?
I could go on for days, my friends, but I should stop now before Mrs. Obama finds out where I am.

Glenn Beck has Lost It
I have been for years and will continue to be a Glenn Beck fan, the host of one of the most popular Conservative talk shows on the radio, a rising star on Fox News, and the author of five books. His television program has helped to expose the ACORN scandal, the Van Jones scandal, and serve as inspiration to the Conservative movement, despite puddles of tears.
However, I am not afraid to call Beck out on what he is wrong on. Such as the 9/12 Project, which has a criminal lacking of National defense in a organization based on the events occurred after one of the worst acts of war on the United States in decades, and the most recent example of Libertarianism gone wild, is Glenn Beck calling for soldiers not to re-enlist.
Could you repeat that again?
As in the words of Eric Dondero, over at the Libertarian Republican, Glenn Beck is taking the unusual step of advising a family member who is serving in the Armed Forces, not to re-enlist with Obama as our current Commander in Chief. I am someone who is considering serving our Nation in the Armed Forces, and the current Commander in Chief does have an effect into a final decision, however, with our troops morale as low as it is, we cannot afford a shortage in recruits.
Though, I have serious problems with Barack Obama serving as the supposed Commander in Chief, I would pledge allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America, and if needed, die as a soldier fighting for the freedoms our Founding Fathers secured for us. We are in serious trouble with Obama as the President in regards to National defense, however, no-one should ever be discouraged from serving their Nation.
Glenn Beck is unwise on this, as we need to be fighting for our troops at home, supporting troop increases which are needed to win the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, stand strong for our Armed Forces, and encourage enlistment into the Marines, Army, Air Force, Navy, National Guard, Border Patrol, Coast Guard, etc.
Presidents will come and go, serving your Nation on the front lines is a once in a lifetime experience.
God Bless the United States, our Troops fighting on the front lines, our freedoms and values which we hold so dear in this Nation, and those who are willing to stand for what is right, such as supporting our troops, when the supposed Commander in Chief will not.

Tiger Woods Car Accident
From Golf.com:
Tiger Woods was injured in a car accident early Friday morning outside his home in Windermere, Fla., and was hospitalized before being released, according to news reports.
Woods, the No. 1 golfer in the world, suffered facial lacerations when his sports utility vehicle struck a fire hydrant and a tree around 2:25 a.m., according to the police report. He was treated at Health Central Hopsital in Ocoee, Fla., and was released in good condition, a Woods spokesman told the Associated Press. Woods's agent, Mark Steinberg, said in an email to CNBC that the golfer "is fine."
Alcohol was not involved in the incident, the police report said.
It is not clear whether Woods, 33, will be able to compete next week in the Chevron World Challenge in Thousand Oaks, Calif., a tournament that benefits Woods's eponymous foundation and which he annually hosts.
Woods spent the latter half of 2008 rehabilitating his left knee after undergoing reconstructive surgery following his victory in that year's United States Open at Torrey Pines. He returned to the PGA Tour in February of this year and won six times, though he was shut out in the major championships.
Woods, who has won 14 professional major titles, trails Jack Nicklaus's record by four.

Top 3 Republican candidates for President in 2012 - 2.0
(3) - Mike Huckabee
Polling data has not been good for the former Arkansas Governor, as Huckabee is now the worst performing Republican against Obama according to Rasmussen Reports and Huckabee made a silent attack on Palin earlier this week, a move which Conservatives as a whole will not appreciate.
(2) - Mitt Romney
Though the former Massachusetts Governor is still not in the news enough, recent polling data from Rasmussen Reports indicates the well liked potential candidate is performing the best against Obama, however, with the health care debate in full force, and the horrific health care legislation Romney pushed while head of state in Massachusetts, he is not a strong enough candidate on the leading issue of the hour.
(1) - Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin has a combination of what Huckabee lacks and what Romney needs. Sarah Palin is the middle of a Nationwide book tour, her Conservative base is energized, over 700,000 books have been sold, rumors about a possible Presidential bid have been fueled through a comment Palin made in Florida, she is well known opponent of the Democratic health care plans, and recent polling data suggests she is gaining in the polls.
Conclusion
Sarah Palin is now the strongest of all potential Republican candidates, Mitt Romney is gaining momentum, however, his promise land will be economic issues as a whole, not health care, and Huckabee appears to be moving towards campaign mode earlier then the other candidates, though his polling numbers are not looking swell.

If not now, when?
The average American who has not been diluted with the mental disease (liberalism), knows that Iran is developing Nuclear weapons to destroy Israel and the United States, and most Americans know that we must take action. Though the action we must take is under debate, Conservatives (such as myself) believe we need to launch a joint attack on Iran's Nuclear facilities, because we are down to our final options.
Israel will have to attack within the next few months, because Iran cannot be allowed to have Nuclear weapons to move forward with their planned destruction of the Jewish homeland, the main question which remains, will the United States join Israel in the all important attack on the forces of evil? I cannot answer this question, because we no longer have a President willing to take all measures to defeat evil, we have a President who is more concerned with his destruction of Capitalism, then the planned destruction of Israel.
Regardless of what the United Nations or Liberal idiots will say, this is no longer a time for discussions, timetables, strong worded letters or economic sanctions, it is time to launch a full assault on Iranian facilities, it is time to end this threat, before liberalism leads to the deaths of millions of Innocent people.
If not now, when?
When the Iranians have nuclear weapons pointing towards Israel?
When the Iranians have launched missiles towards Israel?
When we wake up, and Tel Aviv is in complete ruin?
From the moment Iran started their Nuclear program, we should have been preparing a war plan to prevent Iran from achieving their evil goals, however, we are now forced to plan with little time left, and we need to attack before there is no time left. Our allies need us, our future depends on it, and the freedoms which the Israeli and American people have, are in the balance.
We're not gonna take it. It is time to bomb Iran.
