GOP Candidates: NFL QB Edition

by Todd Saffell

Steve has made the football analogy on his radio show that in 2010, voters made a goal line stand and it worked, but now we’re pinned deep in our own endzone and we need a couple of first downs (victories) to give us some breathing room. So, who should be our quarterback?

Unfortunately no Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers has emerged through the debate and vetting process, so voters are left to sort out the field. With that in mind and after enjoying the GOP Candidate: Pizza Edition a few months ago, I present the GOP Candidates-NFL Quarterback Edition:

Texas Governor Rick Perry – Ryan Fitzpatrick, Buffalo Bills. Started strong, but faded badly once in the spotlight.

Rick Santorum – Alex Smith, San Francisco 49ers. Some past baggage seems to keep him from getting credit or recognition for a fine season. Just hasn’t caught the imagination of the electorate, or more importantly their wallets.

Michelle Bachmann – Matthew Stafford, Detroit Loins. Has all the promise and tools you’re might be looking for, but just can’t stay healthy (Perry steals Straw Poll momentum, Tonight Show disaster).

Ron Paul – This one is easy….Tim Tebow, Denver Broncos. Depending on who you ask, he’s either the greatest ever or an abomination to the game.

Mitt Romney – Eli Manning, New York Giants. Overshadowed in his own division (Romo and Vick); in his own city (Sanchez); heck, even in his own house (yeah, that Peyton guy). He’s the poor guy trying to get everyone to like him and it just isn’t working.

Newt Gingrich – Brett Favre, former QB, Green Bay Packers. You just don’t know if your going to get a perfectly thrown 40 yarder into tight coverage, or an off-balance, over the shoulder pick 6.

    Wow.  This is way beyond perfect.  I’ve been seeing the Tebow/Paul correlation all year.  Probably why I’m such a huge fan of both.

    Tim Tebow…. why don’t you find his testimony at PrisonMinistry.  http://www.prisonfellowship.org/blog/entry/Array/15576 Powerful stuff. Why is it powerful? Well, he demonstrates his love of Christ’s saving grace. He talks about the LIBERTY of death-row inmates who find solace and life in Christ Jesus.  I abhor his public kneeling to God in an Christ hating nation. It turns off a lot of people. Why not pray in private? But the man puts his time where his mouth is. Ron Paul people love liberty and hate any and all government that exceeds the authority they have been entrusted with. Truth seekers hate government abuse.

    The Apostle Paul talks about Liberty in Christ. Tim Tebow talks about the Liberty in Christ. Ron Paul talks about the Liberty that Christ wants for us in Constitutional government. Government is a necessary evil and it should be restricted and  limited. GOvernment’s that exceed their authority, will be corrected. It will be done peaceably or by another means. God will not be mocked. 

    Sorry to be harsh, but the idiocy of Republican-Democrat politics of liars and thieves is enough to make me sick.

    Tim Tebow. Committed to liberty in Christ. He’s the real deal, as far as I can tell.
    Ron Paul. His message of liberty conforms to a world view that is spreading like wild fire. Troops support him overwhelmingly. HomeSchoolers support him overwhelmingly. Bible believers support him… his message is spreading like a fire.

      Wonder if Tim Tebow denies that God says sodomy is a sin….or that states can alienate the inalienable right to life…or that drugs and prostitution should be legalized….or that Jew hating Muslims in Iran should be able to posseess nukes it has promised it will use to wipe Israel off the map?

        I wonder if Gregg Jackson denies that bearing false witness is a sin… apparently because he spreads it where ever he shows up…

        “denies that God says sodomy is a sin.”

        States, deal with marriage now, let them deal with it, DON’T give the federal gov more power. And any constitutional amendment requires 75% of states to ratify and NO presidential involvement.

        Seems like someone said that ALL sexual misconduct should be punish in the military… oh wait, that was Paul. While none of the other candidates have said anything similar.

        “or that states can alienate the inalienable right to life..”

        Hum, I wonder how states enforcing the Sanctity of Life Act is any different than how murder is handled… oh wait, IT’S NOT!!!

        “or that drugs and prostitution should be legalized”

        Decriminalization at the FEDERAL level is NOT legalization.

        “.or that Jew hating Muslims in Iran should be able to posseess nukes it
        has promised it will use to wipe Israel off the map?”

        Let CONGRESS declare war, its their job, NOT the presidents.

        Gregg, you may have helped Deace write a book, but you are most definitely a troll. Until you get a real grasp on history and the proper role of each part of the government in our republic, shut up and go away.
