Okay, I have been neglecting this. This is a serious post, and anything herein may be taken as the opinion of the writer.
I have been following the Republican Presidential candidates debates and such a bit, no surprise there, as most people do to an extent at least. When the lineup was first forming I was in favor of Mitch Daniels, but when he announced he was not running I started looking at the other candidates. I finally settled on Rick Santorum, due to his all around conservative stance, not that I really consider myself a conservative. What do I consider myself? A complicated question, that, and one that I really don't know the answer to myself. I know what I believe on the various issues but not what to call the result. I tend to vote conservative but the tag doesn't quite seem to fit me. Anyway, back on subject. I have continued to watch the other candidates, and Ron Paul, who at first struck me as a bit nuts, makes more sense every time I see his posts. But Rick Perry, from the time he entered the race, has struck me as the most likely nominee. certainly not the best one, my third pick after Santorum and Paul would be Newt Gingrich, but the one that everyone is going to compromise on in hopes of beating Obama. Anyway, that's what I think at this time.

Hard to think up good posts, eh? You'll get the hang of it, having too many ideas and nothing substantial is what creates the lulls in my own blogging (my posting archive is full of half-finished drafts)
ReplyDeleteYeah. I've done a fair bit of writing over these past months but it has mostly been on NationStates, which I should thank you for introducing me to via your blog. I am pretty active there, although almost entirely in offsite forums. It has really honed my computer and writing skills. I find I do my best work when I am furious about something. The words flow out then.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Also whats your nation there? Mine's the Irish Marchlands and i've only recently reactivated the account.
ReplyDeleteHmm, let me see, Ozarkallaia in the Celtic Lands, The Big Muddy in The New Inquisition, Boiled Alive in Polis , The Gregorach in Nazi Europe, Brattahild in the Land of Kings and Emperors, Fenestrate in USSR, and Beerbellied Chainsmokers currently flying the LKE flag in The Proletariat Coalition as part of the occupation there are the important ones. I've got a few.
ReplyDeleteDamn, I only have the one
ReplyDeleteI'm not even certain how many puppets I have anymore but I manage to keep them alive somehow. I see you just moved to the LKE.
ReplyDeleteAye I did, my nation was stuck in Lazarus, AKA zombie nation region for those of us who reactivated our accounts.
