2012 Election Debate Week Preview

October 1, 2012 by Leave a Comment

As a political “junkie”, it really doesn’t get more exciting than this. It’s really the first time the candidates for president of the United States will be in the same room let alone the fact that they get to argue with each other for two hours. Now yes I will agree with you the debates are not exactly exciting. Most of the time they are pre-scripted questions with pre-scripted answers but still its really exciting because

A) There is a chance something can be said that could completely change the tone of the election &

B) You have both candidates finally standing next to each other saying what they are going to do fix the country. It’s the first time where you can compare them side by side. Read more of this post

2012 Election Countdown Electoral Map (41 Days)

September 26, 2012 by Leave a Comment

So it is 41 days until election day. Now since we are obviously getting pretty close, I personally think this is the time of the election season that is the most exciting. Being the political geek that I am, I downloaded an app on my phone where I can make my own electoral maps. So from now until election day I am going to try to give you real-time updates on any electoral changes and any major election news, that could tip the balance of the election.

So this is the first electoral map I have made. I based it on the most recent poll numbers, personal opinion, and other electoral maps. As of now it seems to be a landslide in Obama’s favor at 343 Obama and 195 Romney. Read more of this post

It Doesn’t Take Common Sense to Know…Mitt Romney is Going to Lose This Election

September 1, 2012 by 6 Comments

When I look at this country, I see two enormous sides and almost nothing in the middle. It’s kind of like the universe in the sense that everything is just expanding away from itself leaving no resemblance of what it used to look like. It’s hard to find common ground on any issue anymore and any contrary opinion is considered a personal attack. Having said that, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that the Republicans would pick a candidate as “Vanilla” as Mitt Romney. He doesn’t step on anyone’s toes and everything he says seems to be written perfectly for the crowd he is addressing. Now, I know candidates since the beginning of politics have played to the crowds. It just seems to me, however, that Romney takes it to a whole new level of pandering. He changes so much from state to state, town to town that there is no way of getting a real read on where he stands on anything. Don’t get me wrong, the president isn’t any better at establishing a real stance on anything, but that is the key to the upcoming election. Read more of this post

The Dangers of a Debt-Based Financial System in 2012

July 10, 2012 by 2 Comments

The entire financial system wants to put you down, it wants to make you feel struggle, worry, and hardship. Without the negativity you face in your life, it would seize to exist. It wants you to abide by its strict rules, and if you don’t, no matter how illogical the law may be, they want to lock you in a cage for an extended period of time. The system feeds from corruption at its rotting core. Read more of this post

Why Not Mitt Romney? Take Your Pick!

January 12, 2012 by 4 Comments

I will start with my usual disclaimer that the views expressed in this article are those of the author only and not the rest of the ZazenLife.com team.

Disclaimer #2- I am supporting, albeit with reservations, Ron Paul for President.

It is the morning after the New Hampshire GOP primary, and I cannot believe that the GOP is really going to take on Obama in 2012 with the likes of Mitt Romney.

Why not Mitt Romney, you say?

Among the many reasons he would make a terrible president: Read more of this post
