Republican Canditates

With the presidential elections coming up I've been researching more about the candidates. I'm not republican or democrat as of yet. I'm giving myself time to learn more about the differences each party has. For now I'm going to vote for the candidate I think would put more emphasis on fixing our economy. Isn't that best rather than to vote based just on your party? Anyways, since the caucuses have started I've been paying more attention to the Republican candidates. I was first liking what Rick Santorum had to say on his beliefs and values. He was doing great until he made an extremely racial comment about black people. That kind of ruined it for me. “I don’t want to make black peoples’ lives better by giving them somebody else’s money,” was his exact quote.http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/therootdc/post/rick-santorum-singles-out-black-people-at-iowa-event/2012/01/03/gIQAAn1JYP_blog.html Next, I'm going to bring up Mitt Romney. I never really liked him from the beginning. In all of the debates thus far he came off as pompous and self-centered. Then there was a big debate on how much money he makes yearly from profit or interest. So he released his tax information. In 2010 he made 21.7 million dollars and last year 20.9 million. Remember everyone that none of this is from normal wages, just profit. Then I thought maybe having a very financially successful person as president would be a smart decision for helping our economy. Seriously having made 21 million dollars from profit makes this guy very savvy in my eyes. http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2012/01/23/gIQAj5bUMQ_story.html
Lastly, I'm going to bring up Newt Gingrich. What I like about him is his experience being the Speaker of the House back when Clinton was president. Most people know that when Clinton was in office our economy was in very good shape. Him being the Speaker of the house during that time shows he had an influence on the economy of that time. It wasn't until president Bush's second office that the economy really started going down hill. http://www.biography.com/people/newt-gingrich-9311969 For now I'm between Gingrich and Romney. They both seem like good contenders for president.
