Who Do You Trust?

Mitt Romney. Newt Gingrich. Ron Paul. Rick Santorum.
Who do you trust?
It appears that is what this race is coming down to. Who you do trust the most, or who do you feel will screw us over the least, out of the 4 remaining GOP candidates for President. Something else is going on too. What seemed impossible just weeks ago,
We have been told since January 2009 that Mitt Romney will not only be the nominee, but he is the one and only person who can beat Barack Obama. Apparently, no one listened as this race in such an early state looks anything but a sure and easy win for Romney in the Primary, and even harder that he can beat Barack Obama.
Mitt Romney is the least trustworthy as his constant flip flopping on the issues proves he lacks character and integrity. Changing your position on one two or even a few key issues because you evolved or better educated on that issue is one thing. Supporting or changing your position on an issue based on what office you are running for or saying what you think people want to hear is another. That is the Mitt Romney political platform in a nutshell. Say anything to everyone to get elected.
Newt Gingrich has his own demons. The man who led the Republican Revolution in the 90’s, served as Speaker of the House and calls himself a Conservative has a spotty record at best. Commercials with Nancy Pelosi pushing Cap & Trade, ethics issues, lobbyist questions and now coming out is his criticism and insulting attitude towards Ronald Reagan, where if true and believed would probably end his chances here and now. Can the man who friends call volatile and egotistical, and enemies call crooked, an opportunist and narcissist sway enough people his way?
Rick Santorum who is the strongest Social Conservative left in the race is also a Big Government compassionate Conservative. His support of No Child Left Behind & the Prescription Drug entitlement plan puts up many red flags. Way to friendly with K Street lobbyists and having a huge appetite for earmarks, even still to this day, would be a tough candidate for Small Government Fiscal Conservatives to accept.
Ron Paul is trustworthy. You know exactly what you are going to get from him. There will be no surprises. Top candidate on domestic issues, and monetary policy and trading, he may very well be the one to turn this economy around with job creation, less taxes and smaller government and more importantly less government intrusion. The problem is that too many people do not support his foreign policy positions.
Is there an answer to this question? Forget which candidate can beat Barack Obama, the real question is which candidate do you trust IF THEY CAN beat Barack Obama?








And now we we are down to 4!!
