Of course, these memes are seriously everywhere on the internet and it makes one wonder just how popular is Hillary?  Even Fox News did a feature on it and of course they had to div into the question of whether she will be running again in 2016.  Whether or not she does, let us just take a second to live in the moment and laugh at all of the funny texts from Hillary that have been created thus far.

Who knows where these memes will be by the time the 2016 elections are held.  In the meantime everyone can share a laugh, hopefully along with Hillary Clinton.  If she does not think these things are funny, then maybe she should not consider even running again in the future.  There is not anything better than a woman with a sense of humor.

YouTube is one of my favorite social media sites because it really keeps me connected.  I can watch videos of troops over seas, or watch an informative video from www.allglasswindows.com. It is a way that many people in this country stay connected also.  With each day that passes politicians and the White House are taking advantage of the fact that so many Americans use YouTube by posting more and more videos.  In 2009 the White House even got its own YouTube channel.

It is amazing to look at where we have been and where we have come in regards to technology, the internet, and politics.  This infographic shows the timeline of politics and the connection to YouTube.

Meanwhile, current Texas Governor Rick Perry didn’t even go to New Hampshire but spent that time launching a dirty campaign against Mitt Romney in the next stop for a GOP primary, South Carolina.  Perry decided to invest money and time to visiting small towns where a company that Mitt Romney once had an interest in was forced to lay off workers, convincing the townsfolk that Mitt Romney was the reason they lost their jobs.  I guess he’s now given completely up on campaigning for himself, and has decided to campaign against whomever is on top at any given moment.

When most candidates realize they don’t have a chance of winning an election, they bow out in a dignified and manly way and throw their public support behind a fellow candidate who could possibly win:  not Rick Perry.  And to top it off, the state of Virginia has refused to put Perry’s name on its primary ballot due to his failure to meet the Virginia ballot requirements in a timely manner — and Perry, rather than accept this as sign of his need to comply and perhaps step down from his failed bid for the GOP nomination, actually appealed against the state of Virginia.  By the way, he lost that too.

On several political news commentary channels around the country, especially the many choices available through satellite stations from nonstopvid.com, there is almost never a moment of the day or night when you can’t stay on top of the entire political scene.  With only 72 hours left before the South Carolina primary, reading up on all the latest is a good idea, but watching televised commentary from trusted political analysts via satellite is an even better one.  If you really want the information that will help you make the best decision for your family and nation in the presidential election this year, extra satellite television channels will never hurt.

In Iowa right now it is very easy to determine who is taking all the heat in the media and campaign ads.  Turn on the television and open the mailbox in Iowa and it is likely that you will see something that is anti-Newt Gingrich.  Ads and leaflets are filling up televisions and mailboxes questioning Gingrich’s time he spent in Congress and assaulting his commitments to causes conservative in nature.

Early on this month Gingrich had a fairly strong lead in polls as well as those in Iowa and South Carolina.  However, new data is suggesting that the recent campaigning against the former House speaker is bringing him down significantly.  It has been said that it is impossible to avoid the criticism of Gingrich, especially in Iowa.

Gingrich is trying to hold to his statement made a while back that “The only person who profits from Republican ads attacking other Republicans is Barak Obama, and I think that’s pretty reprehensible behavior from the point of some candidates.”

This approach might not be helping Gingrich though.  It has been stated by many that Newt Gingrich will have to eventually step up to the plate and respond with new strategies and decisions if he wants to restore that faith to the Republican voters, or he might end up just being someone who contributed a voice to the debates.

These assaults and attacks on Gingrich might turn things around a little though.  If you recall in the 1996 race, Forbes spent a great deal of money attacking Bob Dole.  At first the ratings for Dole decreased, but eventually it all turned around when voters began to perceive Forbes as being negative.  Of course there is no one candidate in charge of all these ads, and thanks to super PACs the candidates can hide behind them.

We will obviously have to wait and see what will happen, but if Gingrich keeps taking these hits he might not have a chance.

If you have watched the previous ten debates that have already taken place for the 2012 campaign between the GOP nominees, then you would have noticed a stark contrast during this forum.  There were no rapid fire questions or timed answers, and there were no podiums and formal feel.  In fact, on the stage sat a dining table with fall decor looking as though it was set up for a family to have a Thanksgiving dinner.  There was a free flow with Frank Luntz moderating the event that was two hours long and went on like a conversation.

Newt Gingrich talked about how he battled feelings of “collapsing” under a weight, and he took advice from a recovering alcoholic to find his way to God.  Herman Cain discussed his cancer diagnoses and getting through it with help from his wife.  Michelle Bachman had the chance to talk about her parent’s divorce and how “God uses those challenges to shape your life…”  Rick Santorum teared up when talking about how he loved his severely disabled daughter differently.  Rick Perry and Ron Paul’s experiences were not as deep and revealing, but they did discuss some of their background and some personal experiences.

All six had some personal things to share.  The crowd of 3,200 social conservatives in the large church were listening intently, and while things got personal, the candidates also addressed issues about the role of the government in people’s lives.

There are still six more weeks for the candidates to wait for the caucuses, and it looks like we will have to wait until then to see who the conservatives in Iowa choose.

Last week, under pressure to further clarify the 9-9-9 plan, Cain seems to have revised his numbers a bit, admitting that, for the poorest in America, his plan would essentially be a 9-0-9 plan.  The 0 would apply to those who’s incomes place them below the nationally established poverty level.  Watch the video below to see what Cain was originally proposing, then, as he invited Americans during the Western debate, “do your own math.”

On top of taking into consideration the opinions and interests of the candidates, you also have to look at their character and ideals.  From what I have seen so far, I’m not sure what else they can show me to give me hope.  The infographic below, which is titled “Best of Election 2012 Candidate Flip Flops” shows some pretty interesting flip-flop statements from some of the candidates.  Let’s face it, sometimes we have to go back and eat our words, so this is not to deter you from any one candidate.  This is more for fun, so enjoy.

“Is a title worth it?” Ms. Palin said to Fox News. “Is a title and is a campaign too shackle-y? Does that prohibit me from being out there, out of a box, not allowing handlers to shape me and to force my message to be what donors or what contributors or what political pundits want it to be?”

Palin,  former vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor, did not clearly state whether she would seek the GOP nomination for 2012.  Naturally, health care will be a big issue on the plates of all candidates who seek the nomination.  Many are critical of Obamacare because it imposes too many regulations on both the health care industry and the people who practice medicine and support services, people who have earned a master of public health degree, or better, and who should already know how best to do their jobs.

Here is a video of Palin’s recent comments on Herman Cain, among other things:

Other concerns are of course budgetary in nature, and with economies in spiral dives towards higher jobless rates and poverty levels, no one can afford to be viewed as soft in terms of the economy and jobs creation.  Women in office face perhaps more scrutiny on these points than their male counterparts.

Here is a map that shows, as of 2008, the numbers of women in US legislature, by state.  The link in the first sentence of this article shows you updated information since that time, so feel free to compare.

Anyway, aside from all of the bad mouthing and crap that I will have to watch and deal with, I’m quite excited about the 2012 elections.  Honest, I am.  I’ve been talking to some people that are not too sure of what they believe this government needs, and in order to help them out I wanted to find a way to explain what the major difference between Republican officials and Democrat officials are.  Easy enough, right?  Well, someone did all the hard work for me in this infographic that I found, so now you can see what makes the two parties so different after all.  Click on the image to enlarge it.
