Re-tread Republicans


I have witnessed a pattern lately (within the last year) of familiar faces showing up out of the wood work like scurvy little spiders. They are appearing on news programs and offering commentary to some in the snake oil sales game (Sean Hannity who never had an independent thought in his life without running it by the RNC). People like Newt Gingrich, J.C. Watts, and my favorite turncoat John Kasich among other re-Treads, all are aspiring to re-enter the politics as usual game. I wonder what has prompted their return. Newt is obviously planning a run for the white house, J.C. Watts is running for Governor of his home state of Oklahoma and John Kasich is running for Governor of Ohio. My biggest question is the motives of these men. Are they back in order to fill a vacuum of leadership in the "GOP"? Are they back to try and take votes away from independent candidates? I am very suspicious of these GOP candidates. Independents and conservatives need not be fooled. Ohio under a democrat Governor has a very pro-gun administration that has yet to raise my taxes. John Kasich refuses to take a pro-gun stance yet calls his opponent tax and spend Ted Strickland. The democrat Governor seems to be a conservative! Ohio conservatives need to take notice that their candidate is already sitting in the governor's mansion. Judge these candidates by their actions for they have a track record, and not by the "D" or "R" party affiliation.
