We still have 10 more months until the election and I’m sure we are all getting tired of politicians already. However something pretty interesting is happening on the Republican side.

The “Republican Establishment” (those already in office and the powerbrokers pulling the strings) have planned to coronate moderate Mitt Romney as the GOP presidential nominee in order to attract the independent vote to guarantee a majority in the House and Senate to consolidate and increase their power. They were not concerned how the true conservatives and the Tea Party voters felt about it.

However they’ve gotten a little surprise after the first three primaries. It seems that after all the abuses from Obama, the voters aren’t too impressed with a slick moderate who has a record of “flip flopping” his values when it suits him politically. Santorum was finally announced winner in Iowa, Romney won New Hampshire and Gingrich ran away with the South Carolina primary. The people are showing they prefer a real conservative who has proven a real commitment to conservative values.

This development has Romney and the “Establishment” very worried. Romney is launching a very nasty campaign against Gingrich in Florida and I’ve heard the Establishment has even considered alternative moderates for nominee.

Even though these powerbrokers are trying to bypass conservatives, I recently heard of a Gallup poll that covers the last three years found 40% of the population call themselves conservatives, 35% claim to be moderates, and 21% claim to be liberals. The Establishment hopes if they can promote a nominee that will attract the moderates that the Conservatives will have to follow along. I wonder how many may get so disgusted they just won’t go to the trouble to vote. After all if it wasn’t for the Tea Party conservatives in 2010, the GOP Congress would still be begging Nancy Pelosi to allow them to attend committee meetings.

Obama has so corrupted our government that we need a strong conservative who will restore our Constitutional rights and a respect for law. I’m not sure any of these choices will do the job but someone who changes his values whenever it’s convenient certainly won’t. It shouldn’t be much longer until we know if we have a real leader or just another puppet.

I read an article recently that said many marriage counselors refer to this post holiday time of year as divorce season. It seems many in troubled marriages will wait until Christmas celebrations are over to make a decision to divorce final. I also imagine being forced to be around all the relatives for Christmas may be the last straw for decision to divorce in some cases. If you are presently in a marriage in crisis, it can be a frightening situation especially after 50 when you feel your future alternatives are limited.

If you are in a really bad situation that has no hope for improvement, then divorce may be the best option you have. In that case I wish you well and hope you find a happy life when you get the divorce behind you.

On the other hand if you hope there is a way to save your marriage even after an affair, I want you to know that it can be done. It will not be easy but if you take the necessary steps and work together it is possible. You may be surprised at how serious some situations have been that were resolved with mutual effort to rebuild the marriage.

I just recently learned of Maurita Corcoran who had been married for 13 years when she received a call from her husband stating that he had committed himself for counseling for sex addiction. She has written a nationally acclaimed book titled ” A House Interrupted” about their experience to save her marriage. She is still very active in helping other women in troubled marriages and has just celebrated her 28th wedding anniversary. You may find her book very helpful and inspirational if you are in a similar situation or just having problems in your marriage.

Although this book gives you information on what she went through and how she was able to recover, it probably will not be all the help you will need to survive an affair and save your marriage.

For there to be a true bond rebuilt between you and your husband, you need to resolve the causes of your problems so they don’t repeat in the future. You will both have to cooperate in this process and should either have the guidance of an expert counselor or a good guide drawn up by an expert counselor. If you just make up without addressing the causes of the problems that have so badly damaged your relationship, you will most likely just be postponing the end of your marriage.

It will take patience and tolerance from both you and your husband to preserve your relationship. At points of disagreement you may find it necessary to have help from an impartial counselor to reach an agreeable resolution. Even if you feel you can solve your problems between the two of you, you should at least have a comprehensive guide by someone very experienced in marriage counseling to ensure you are really making meaningful progress and not just fooling yourselves.

It’s a shame that the state of politics in the United States has become so immoral today. There are many legitimate reasons you may not have favored Herman Cain but I think he had earned a fair hearing from the primary voters. Instead, he gets humiliated by lowlifes trotting out bimbos accusing him of sexual misbehavior. No actual proof has been presented but Herman and his wife were deeply hurt. Many of Cain’s friends are public figures since he once hosted a talk show in Atlanta and they can’t imagine him treating anyone with that kind of disrespect. However, the sleazy attacks worked, since Herman values his wife more than the White House.

Now that Newt Gingrich has picked up the Republican lead, Swamp Queen Nancy Pelosi has already informed the press that she has plenty of dirt on Gingrich that she will release when she chooses. It doesn’t matter to her that the information is confidential and did not support charges of any wrongdoing on Gingrich’s part.

Pelosi is not the only ones sniping at Newt though. The “Republican establishment” power brokers do not want to see a real conservative chosen as the GOP candidate. They fear that a true conservative might actually return too much power to the voters and kill their profitable power games.

The “establishment” thought they could steamroll the other candidates with moderate Mitt Romney and attract the independent voters while taking the conservative base for granted. However, the polls show that voters are demanding a conservative who can reverse this mess that Obama has created before it gets too late.

In the meantime Obama made it clear in his recent speech in Kansas that he thinks free enterprise is a license to steal. He still wants people to be dependent on government to “spread the wealth around” instead of opportunities offered by a free market. Finally Obama is making it clear that he really is the Socialist that he denied being for so long.

It looks like this next year will probably be one of the dirtiest presidential campaigns we’ve ever seen. Obama has been such a failure in office that he will want to attempt to keep the focus off his record. That means he will do all he can to attack his opponent’s character and keep attention off his own incompetence. His continuing attempts to encourage class warfare is another strategy to take attention off his own record. Even more sad is the fact that after three years in office, Obama is still trying to blame Bush for all his failed policies.

If we don’t wise up and elect someone with the knowledge and experience to actually rebuild our economy and put the nation back to work, we will pay for that mistake for generations.

Enough with the political rant. Christmas is getting close and I hope you all are planning for a happy one. If you are having trouble deciding on gifts or not able to get out, Amazon.com may be of help. They list the most popular items in all sorts of categories and you can access this list by clicking Amazon Bestsellers . You can avoid going to the stores or just use the information for your own reference. Either way, I hope you and your family has a very Merry Christmas.

Best wishes,

I hope all of you have had a very happy Thanksgiving and didn’t get pepper sprayed if you shopped on Black Friday.

If you didn’t find the bargain you hoped for on Friday, the good news is that Cyber Monday is predicted to set a new sales record for one day with an expected $1.2 billion in sales. All the major stores are very aware of how much buying has increased on the web and are offering great bargains to get a share of this huge event. You are also able to do your shopping from your home or office without worrying about hand-to-hand combat with other shoppers looking for the same item you want.

I saw a report on TV today by a shopping expert who claims that Amazon was the best overall online merchant, Walmart had the lowest prices and Best Buy was the best merchant for electronics. One of the things I like best about Amazon is the way they are able to help you find a product that fits your requirements. However, just about any established merchant now has a shopping website although not all are expert with the process yet.

From what I’ve seen, most merchants are offering their Cyber Monday bargains throughout the week but that doesn’t mean their supply will last that long. In other words, don’t procrastinate if it is something you really want.

Best of luck with your Cyber Monday shopping. I hope your holiday season will all be this hassle free.

Best wishes,

Charles Moore

I want to thank all the veterans for the sacrifices they made to serve and protect our country. You make us able to be proud of the USA and show us the true meaning of honor and duty.

It’s a shame today that so many think that it is somehow cool to steal or destroy what others have built. They somehow feel they are entitled to be supported and provided for by those who do work and achieve something.

Now is a time when we all need to remember what honorable and brave men sacrificed to protect the freedoms that so many abuse today.  I’m afraid that this next year many are going to do all they can to destroy our values and regulate our freedoms to increase their own power.

Let’s not forget what good men did to build our country and not let the selfish and misguided destroy it for their own benefit.

Happy Veteran’s Day. Thank you for your service.

Over this past month I’ve learned that taking care of a 91-year-old mother with a broken shoulder and broken hip is not only time-consuming but much more labor-intensive than you might imagine. After two surgeries, we thought she was recovering pretty well but on a follow-up visit to the surgeon today, we learned that the shoulder surgery had failed. Now we have to watch her for two weeks to determine what needs to be done next. She hasn’t complained about the news but it’s only natural for it to be upsetting.

Someone else who hasn’t had a very pleasant Halloween is Herman Cain. Herman is very well known here in Georgia and even hosted a radio talk show in Atlanta prior to his decision to run for the presidential nomination. He is a brilliant and very successful businessman who is more likable the better you get to know him. These vague accusations of sexual harassment appear nothing more than gutter politics from liberals who can’t tolerate a black man leaving the Democrat plantation. Remember how they slandered Clarence Thomas during his confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court.

It appears this next year could possibly set a new low for presidential politics.

I apologize for the shortness of this post but it’s been a pretty trying day. I hope to keep to a more frequent schedule in the near future unless circumstances prevent it. I do appreciate your being here.

I hope you have been able to enjoy a happy Halloween.

This October has started out to be a month full of surprises both good and bad. Obama and his supporters are doing their best to instigate class warfare against the “rich” with campaign speeches and these dysfunctional “Wall Street protests”. The speeches show Obama’s desperation to distract voters from all his failures as president and attempt to blame the rich for the nation’s problems. The protests might be more effective if more of the protesters had any idea what they were protesting. Defecating on police cars and the American flag are not helpful in gaining respect for your argument.

Our nation deserves better than this type of socialist ranting. Businesses need to be free of excessive government interference and encouraged to grow and put good people back to work.

Personally, I spent most of October experiencing our health care system. October 2, my 91 year old mother fell and broke her hip and shoulder. She was in the hospital for eight days and needed two operations. She has a long recovery ahead of her but she was very lucky. I couldn’t be more impressed with the quality of the care she received. I am thankful Obamacare didn’t decide her treatment.

It seems that Obama dislikes the elderly as much as he does private businesses. Remember, he stated that at some point the elderly need to be satisfied with a pain pill instead of an operation. My mother was in an emergency situation and I’m not saying she would have been denied care but I fear there would have been some bureaucratic reluctance for the treatment she needed if Obamacare was in force.

We have the best healthcare in the world now, I hope we are smart enough not to allow it to be ruined by misguided politicians.

On the positive side it is October and the weather is cool, leaves are changing and it’s a great time to enjoy the outdoors. There are plenty of fall festivals all around the country right now. It’s also a great time to hike or just get out for a pleasant walk. I hope you are able to enjoy it and make your October surprise a pleasant one.

Amazon made a major announcement this morning  concerning its new family of Kindle Readers and the Kindle Fire tablet which will be available November 15. One of the new readers which are available today is only $79 and the very impressive full color tablet is only $199. For those of us who travel a lot or just like to keep up to date with what is going on, this announcement is great news.

The Kindle Readers have always been the most popular readers on the market and these new models are even more portable and less expensive. The Kindle Fire full color tablet offers many of the features of an Apple iPad but its price is $300 less. It will be interesting to see how Apple responds to this formidable competition to the tablet market with holiday shopping just ahead.

Jeff Bezos at Amazon is extremely optimistic about these new products and since the previous Kindle Readers have always been the biggest sellers at Amazon, he certainly has good reason.

I hope this information has been worthwhile for you and may even help you with your upcoming gift shopping. To see all the details on these new products simply click: New Kindles . The page contains all the information on the new products.

I think you’ll be impressed.

Best wishes,

Charles Moore

With Obama being more concerned about campaigning to get reelected than doing something to improve the economy, it’s hard to find cheerful news. Obama knows that the way to heal the economy is to reduce taxes and government regulations to help businesses prosper and grow, but he can’t force himself to do it. He is so deeply rooted in his socialist doctrine that he refuses to take the proven actions to get us out of this economic mess.

He would rather waste billions of your tax dollars trying to force “green” businesses to success while killing jobs than do anything to help the private sector that he has openly called his enemy. The Solyndra scandal was so foolish that it wasted $530 million of your tax money and is currently under investigation by Congress and the FBI. Unfortunately, it seems Solyndra is only the tip of a very expensive iceberg involving crony politics.

On the brighter side, these events have been so blatant that the public and even some Democrats are realizing just how destructive Obama’s actions are. A number of the GOP presidential candidates are very successful business people who actually know how to create jobs and grow the economy. If we can just last for 13 months until the next election, we can put someone in the White House who has real experience in creating jobs, not just failing socialist theories.

Obama has just made a speech and said GOP policies would “cripple America” but I believe the facts show that is exactly what he has done since he was elected. A September 26 Gallup Poll shows that 81% of Americans are now dissatisfied with government and feel that it is currently harmful.

On the downside, we still have to endure Obama for another year but on the bright side we really do have a choice to rebuild our economy in the 2012 election. It will be a painful year ahead but at least there really is hope for restoring our economy coming soon.

I don’t think anyone could not be aware that today is the 10th anniversary of the 9/11/01 terrorist attacks against us. Those attacks changed our life here in the United States and forced us to realize that we too are vulnerable to harm. We must remember just how evil our enemies can be and be prepared to protect ourselves from them.

I was on a trip that day and staying near an airport where some of the airlines had flight crews stay on layovers. After all planes were ordered grounded, I remember one young stewardess very concerned about when she would see her family again. I remember how quiet everything was that day. We didn’t know if those four planes were just the beginning of more attacks yet to come. No one I saw was in a panic but everyone was concerned.

The cowardly horror that took place in New York is beyond description. The heroism of the firemen, police and others who tried to help those in danger that morning can never be forgotten. Their actions that day make us all proud and hopeful.

This very short video expresses my feelings much better than my words can:
