!Por la Revolución de las Ideas!
Let’s hope the following debates are more about ideas than hatred.

After following several debates and
analyzing all the candidates, there’s no doubt Gingrich and Romney are
the front runners of this campaign. This is not the result
of debating ideas or issues that matter, it’s the result of going after
the other candidate with negative ads and who has had the most money to
try move forward in winning the GOP nomination. I
haven’t seen any ideas being debated and no candidate except Ron Paul
has really spoken on the issues that matter. Although Paul’s ideas might
be a little crazy for some, he is on the right track on
a lot of issues and he has brought attention to matters that some had
forgotten. The ironic thing is how the media tries to ignore him even
though they shouldn’t do this since it’s not playing fair.
I guess his ideas seem to annoy some who think that the United States is
being run the right way.
I have been surprised by how many in the
media and the Republican Party have participated in trying to destroy
Gingrich. Newt may have had some issues in the past, but
he seems to be a serious candidate and someone with experience to be
standing there trying to achieve the GOP nomination. When I see many
commentators on CNN and Fox just blast him over really
ridiculous issues, I really understand why The United States has fallen
behind so much. Instead of debating ideas and trying to get the public
to decide on the best ideas and proposals by the
candidates, the media has concentrated its efforts on getting the
candidates to discuss personal issues because in the end that is what
sells and generates ratings. I personally believe that if the
media made an effort to draw the candidates’ attention to the real
issues and avoided them from attacking each other on the personal level,
then the campaign would have some class and deciding who
the GOP nominee is, would be much easier.
It seems as if many are playing a game
in which everyone knows who will be the winner, and that is not a
political race, it’s a joke. I think that Romney has blasted
the Latino community blaming it for America’s downfall, and now that he
realizes that he needs the Latino vote, he begins to soften his speech
against this community. It’s ironic and makes him a
clear opportunist. The Latino community knows better than to support a
candidate whose views are clearly against Latinos and that are closer to
a fascist regime. Romney, for some seems to be the
right candidate, but once he is against President Obama, he will lose
due to the fact that he is not credible down the line and that will make
him a very easy target for the President. If Romney
wants to be a credible candidate, he will have to start debating ideas;
otherwise he doesn’t stand a chance against the President.
Newt Gingrich, on the other hand tried
to run a decent campaign without negative ads and hatred. He tried to
debate ideas but wasn’t successful due to the fact that
the media gave more attention to the attacks done by Romney against Newt
than the real issues. I believe it is pathetic that what sells on a
campaign is the hatred speech and not ideas. I believe
strongly in Ideas and that’s why I am the creator of the revolution of
Ideas, but in this GOP race all I have seen is hatred and personal
attacks. Newt seems to be on the right track, and I hope that
he is eventually nominated for the good of his voters and those who live
In America and want to change the current President. Newt is a moderate
conservative that has proven he can do the job despite
what some in his party think, and some journalists who have gotten on
the hatred wagon and blasted Newt to favor Romney. Ideas should be the
main concern of the media and Newt has tried to debate
them, but unfortunately his Counterpart Romney has concentrated his
efforts in destroying Newt instead of showing his proposals to govern
the United States.
President Obama will not be easy to
defeat. Many people LaTribunacolus has spoken to have expressed the fact
that the GOP race is a joke and that is filled with
hatred, personal attacks, Race hate, and no debate of the issues that
matter, so many have decided to vote for President Obama due to the fact
that the Republicans talk too much and do nothing to
help solve the nation’s problems. All the people see is how they have
blocked every bill the President has sent for their approval, and that
in my opinion will back fire against Republicans and will
favor the President. Newt and Romney continue head to head, but maybe
if they don’t start debating ideas they will go head to head to losing
against President Obama.
Finally, I hope the media becomes less
partial and helps in making debates more democratic. Ignoring Ron Paul
should not continue to be admitted. Giving more
attention to the candidates programs it’s the way to go. It is important
to ask the candidates how they plan to create Jobs, fix the economy,
Tax reform, Medicare, Immigration Reform and other
critical issues and not accept kinder garden answers, demand answers
that satisfy those who will vote and decide who will be the Nominee.
That should be the roll of the media.
Let’s hope the following debates are more about ideas than hatred.
