GINGRICH vs ROMNEY.

If there is confusion in a political party, one can smell it from a mile away, and to say that the final outcome or the decision of the participants, who can be classified as the hierarchy in the party to settle disputes, will be seriously and unimaginably flawed will be an understatement.

The decision will be faulty to such an extent that anyone they will choose to represent the party will not be able to withstand or survive the scrutiny that is waiting on the outside to test him or her as the winner of the decision stemming from that kind of confusion.

It (decision) will not be fair even to the persons, who are embroiled in the controversy that is causing the confusion; because their own consciences will prove them guilty for accepting the final result.

In the Republican Party nomination race to find a fitting candidate to challenge President Barack Obama, the depth of the insinuations between the two leading contestants has never been as diabolical as could ever be in the history of America.

The confusion in the party has become enigmatic, whether the party establishment wants a conservative or someone who can win the forthcoming 2012 general election, despite his political views. That seems to be at the root of that confusion.

However, with that aside, let us just take the two leading candidates and listen to what they are insinuating against each other, and make, not a judgment, but only a simple comparison.

Gingrich has been saying all along that Romney could not be the nominee. He has constantly called him a liar and a dishonest person, and that all his dealings in life have been nothing but unethical. (paraphrasing, of course).

He even has said that in the debates that they were standing next to each other, he found his rival to be despicable. He was horrified by his (rival's) responses to most of the questions being asked; whether they were about his person or in relation to his business involvements.

Romney, on the other hand, has been equally nasty in saying that Gingrich was the first Speaker of the United States House of Representatives to be terminated in disgrace.

"He was fired by his own people in Congress," Romney would say of Gingrich as being disowned by the majority of members of the House, who were also Republicans; and adding that he, Gingrich, was a charlatan and a hypocrite. Also that he was just a high profile influence peddler and a Freddie Mac lobbyist, and thus connecting him to the failed Mortgage and Housing crisis in America today.

Foreclosures by Freddie Mac and its sister company Fannie Mae, both of which were U.S. government sponsored enterprises, ran into millions; and so causing so many families to find themselves "under water", and even in some cases, becoming homeless.

Those sitting on the outside were the voters, looking in and listening; and their final say was what mattered most; yet, the question was that, out of the two front runners in the Republican race presently fighting it out to win the Florida primary this very day, which of them would be considered as "suitable"?

In all honesty, the answer would be, "NONE". They have engaged and battered themselves with so much gruesome accusations that went beyond the pale.

Nevertheless, they (voters) should not take what the two people have said about themselves as being mere rhetoric. Their remarks, as said before, went deeper than that, as they touched on the character of each person; and that became very important, because whoever was the winner, could go on to win his party's nomination and probably become the president of the U.S. (Good grief).

In other words, the end product in the process was what would determine the country's future; however, both men have pointed to each other as being inadequate, to say the least; and so, what should the voters be concerned with in a case like that?

No one would dare advise them on, or to stop them from, exercising their Constitutional right. To tell them to refrain from casting their vote under any circumstance would be illegal; but that they should do so with so much caution that, if they voted for the "wrong" candidate, they could make matters worse.

The candidates themselves have egregiously described each other as much as they possibly could, and therefore the choice would be a difficult one; and so, they (voters) must have their own lives in mind, in relation to what the future held for them and their families, four years from now and beyond before the acted.

However, the real problem was that huge amounts of money have been spent on both sides to get the people of Florida to ignore the only thing that they had working on their side, to enable them to overcome all the obstacles being strewn before them; something so natural, which was always there to help them in making the right decision, even while in the polling booth.

If they did (ignore it), they would not have been a disappointment to themselves only, but to the nation as a whole; and that was each other person's own, true and individual conscience.

Putting it another way, that if they, the Republican voters, voting in the Florida primary at this particular moment, would obey their God given consciences, they would have won the day, in spite of what the consequence would be.

Over to you, Florida.

Forget about the money. It could also come with nothing, but shame, in the long run.
