Buddy Who?
Nobody knows who Buddy Roemer is, even though he has been running for president for quite a while. Why is that?
Buddy Roemer has impeccable conservative credentials, and he has far more experience than any other candidate for the office. He has been successful in business, he served four terms in Congress and he was the governor of Louisiana.
http://www.buddyroemer.com/meet-buddyWhen he was governor his state had balanced budgets, he cut unemployment in half, he was one of the first to link teacher pay to performance, and enacted education accountability and he challenged the power of government unions.
If you are a Republican what is there not to like about Buddy Roemer?
The problem is that the corporate media and especially the 1% propaganda machine has suppressed any information about Buddy Roemer, and they are the real ones that determine the presidential candidates.
So why is it that Murdoch and the Koch Brothers and the other billionaires that run the Tea Party have condemned Buddy Roemer to obscurity? They are the power behind all of the presidential debates and they made sure that Gov. Buddy Roemer was not invited to any of them.
The real reason is because Gov. Roemer is the only candidate that is talking about campaign reform. He is the only candidate talking about the political corruption in our political system. He is the only Republican that thinks there is something wrong with the few billionaires determining how the country is run, which candidates succeed, and that all of the Republican policies benefit the 1% and harm the 99%.

The 1% has finally settled on who they want for president. It used to be Romney because he is one of them. Romney is the 1%. But he never caught on. He was too much of a flip flopper, he designed Obamacare, He wasn't a REAL Christian, and the faithful never trusted him.
So the 1% threw him under the bus. On Fox news which can be counted on to treat candidates with kid gloves, and lob nothing but softball questions, actually asked Mitt Romney some hard questions, and Romney who expected puffballs got pissed off. So he is over.
The Tea Party had short term flings with all of their nut jobs, but they all wilted under public scrutiny. The 1% wouldn't mind another malleable Bush light that they could dictate to, but they can't help but say stupid things. So who is left? Santorum may still have a chance. He is owned by big coal so the 1% likes him, but he is plagued with a Google presence that he can't shake. John Huntsman has the most foreign policy experience, but he actually worked for Obama and he is actually rational with scientific facts like evolution and global Warming, so he will never go anywhere.
And that leaves Newt. Newt Gingrich is the ideal 1% candidate, because he is the personification of lobbyists. He will do whatever is necessary to whoever pays him the most money. He has the added bonus of being what Republican Guy Molinary says is pure evil.
