I have a question for you.
Why didn’t you enter the Republican Primary?
We NEEDED a constitutional conservative choice.
Where were you?
I left the GOP in 2008 when they refused to count our votes in the Iowa Caucus.
I knew then the process was completely rigged.
It’s taken a bunch of other people, folks who didn’t seem to care what the GOP did to us back then, a bit longer to find out that the process is rigged against them too.
Fair enough. But knowing that’s where the majority of Conservatives were, wouldn’t it have been easier to join the primary and at least get some exposure and give the Conservatives a better choice than we were presented with than to wing it as a third party? Also, another question, had Rick Santorum won the nomination (or Bachmann, or another one lined up with your values), would you still be running now?
Thank you taking the time to answer my questions.... I’d love nothing more than to support a freeper, but I have serious questions.
Also, when did you decide to enter the race?
As recently as last year, we weren’t really at the stage of development of America’s Party where we felt ready to engage at the presidential level. But I decided to run during the holidays last year, when it was becoming more and more apparent that Mitt Romney was likely going to be successful at buying out the Republican Party.
It seemed highly likely to me that no one was going to be saying what must be said, in terms of the principles that we must return to if we are to survive as a free republic, or concerning the creation of any sort of political process that is actually of the people, by the people, or for the people.
Turns out I was correct.
