ASSAULT WEAPON CONTROL
ASSAULT WEAPON STRICT NATIONAL CONTROL
ASSAULT WEAPONS AND WANTON MURDERS OF CHILDREN MUST BE DISCUSSED. I am a conservative, I find the event in Conneticutt unbelievable. Young males are almost sole culprits in this matter. I am not for gun control, yet I am for assault weapon strict control. How many more innocent children and adults must die before we deal with this bloodshed? We can confront and deal with this genre of weapons. Lets do it sooner than later. These weapons do not belong in this nation without strict control.

His 2012 presidential bid ended in defeat during the primaries, but that may not have been the last of candidate Newt Gingrich.
Asked Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press" if he would run for the White House again, the former House speaker put on an enormous Cheshire cat grin and said: "I doubt that, but one never knows."
At the end of November, Gingrich told a crowd at a book signing in Florida he had "no idea" whether he would run again in 2016.
One factor: his potential Democratic rival. Gingrich said Sunday if Hillary Clinton decides to put her name in contention, Republicans face an uphill climb.
"If their competitor in '16 is going to be Hillary Clinton, supported by Bill Clinton and presumably a still relatively popular President Barack Obama, trying to win that will be truly the Super Bowl," he said. "And the Republican Party today is incapable of competing at that level."
"She is very formidable as a person. A very confident person," said Gingrich, who served as House speaker during President Bill Clinton's tenure in the White House and often sparred with the Democrat.
"She is married to the most popular Democrat in the country. They both think it would be good for her to be president. That makes it virtually impossible to stop her for the nomination, I think," he predicted.
If Republicans hope to stand up to Clinton -- or to any Democratic rival -- in 2016, they need to reflect on the reasons they lost the White House this year, Gingrich said.
"We didn't blow it because of Mitt Romney," he said. "We blew it because of a party which has refused to engage the reality of American life and refused to think through what the average American needs for a better future."

AMERICA 2016, WHO WILL BE THE NEXT TRUE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE?
There have always been surprises resulting from ranking and speculating about the person who will be a future presidential nominee. One would expect most of the names mentioned, would surface from a background of prior political service, becoming nominees in 2016. Yet, in recent weeks, in fact the last several years we have focused our attention on some leaders who were not only politically incompetent, but lived unethical, devious and dishonest lives. A few examples include former senator John Edwards, South Carolina governor Mark Sanford, senator Ingle, former Illinois governor Blagojevich, discredited president Bill Clinton, and many others have awakened us to the fact that prior political service is no guarantee of fidelity, honesty, morality and ultimate representation of the American people. This next election cycle I believe is witnessing an anti incumbency modality hitherto not seen in recent years. We are told there are no perfect candidates, I disagree there are many outstanding Americans.
Where should Americans search for qualified, honest, caring, moral, public servants? Obviously, the original founders looked among themselves for future servants of the people. The original fifty-five framers of our Constitution included; shippers, scientists, farmers, investors, retirees, lawyers, one minister, a college administrator, and most founders were citizens of good reputation. They were, “give me liberty or give me death” representatives of the people. Only nine of the fifty five actually worked for government compensation.
Where will Americans discover the candidate who will work as their servant, committed totally to creating jobs, reducing taxes, promoting a strong economy based on free enterprise, constitutional liberties and our form of government? Will this future nominee be faithful to both civil (presidential) and all solemn oaths (like marriage) will the candidate’s wife and children be an asset to society? Will the nominee stand rock solid against radicals, lobbyists, special interest groups, rogue nations, terrorists and ultimately commit to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States so help him God, if elected?
How will the nation decide on a true grassroots nominee who will serve for a dollar a year, in the tradition of the late John F. Kennedy? What path will lead us to this future President living and teaching traditional values, protecting small business, corporate growth, creating millions of new jobs at home? Will this person come to us through public relations imaging, political position, pseudo campaigns and photo opportunities? No, this servant will be identified while walking, working, living among the people, stating personal, national and personal constitutional convictions and listening to the advice and suggestions of the American public. His substance will be deep and committed for too often as a nation we have chosen celebrities and corrupt politicians over serious leaders.
This nominee when chosen president will give 24/7 to protect and proudly lead this great country. This selected public servant by the people will give the nation pride and vision once again, in its history, and achievements. This candidate of the people will stand boldly in the global assembly of nations and proudly extol American individualism and achievement. As president, this individual will never apologize for America or bow a knee to foreign heads of state. This public servant will serve the nation exhibiting great force of will and personal compassion while unifying citizens in a common pursuit of excellence. The candidate chosen will ultimately be identified in the schools, homes, churches, schools, neighborhoods and hearts of citizens through their election process. That is how it will happen and when it does America will have given the nation an authentic intelligent public servant to face a time of great challenges.
