Don't be surprised if the conservative candidate for 2012, has never been in politics, or has never held an office, much less run a race for government.


I successful small business owner. Someone that is very in touch with the people. Someone that cares that America stays at the top.

Nope! The people are tired of Politicians.

It is going to be some one that is well qualified to run any business. Someone that wants to run his business, more than holding office, but the people beg him to take the lead.

i don't think that is totally true: Most would not really consider Obama rich, nor was Clinton. Plus, do you have any idea how many small business owners would be considered rich? That being said, no I do not think someone will go from small business owner to President of the country, governor is a different thing.

Conservatives are not as elitist as Progressives.
This is the mindset of the Progressive movement.

You do realize the richest people in our government, are Democrats.
Of the top 30 wealthiest, there are 8 Conservatives.



Have you heard the history of Obama? How did he get rich?
Cough-cough?

The difference in Conservative and Progressive...


A Conservative works hard for their profits and lifestyle.

A Progressive will scam someone out of their money, for their profits and lifestyle. Look at the corruption that we just witnessed. Need more proof?

There is nothing wrong with elitism.
