It is definitely true that replacing SJL with a Democrat will result in politics as usual. So many so called “conservative” Democrats have fallen in step with the party’s platform. All across the country, every so called conservative Democrat has failed to back their stated values. They never buck the party’s position. So long as the Democratic party is hard left, there can only be one solution. We need a Republican conservative we can count on.
It is a mistake to select a candidate based on appealing to various voting blocs. That is why we are in the mess we are in. So called experts like Colin Powell believe we need to run candidates with certain racial and gender profiles to win elections. If they are moderates, these so called experts think that’s the perfect solution. They had their perfect profile the last election with John McCain. Because he lacked the convictions of a strong conservative, he missed several opportunities to expose Obama’s record and agenda during the debates when everyone was trying to determine if Obama was “presidential material”. Sarah Palin did not “fit” the perfect profile but you can sure bet she would have exposed Obama if she had been at the top of the ticket and she would have won the race for the Republicans. A strong conservative who is willing to expose the liberal opponent will not only win the conservative vote, it will also win the moderate middle as proven time and again by Ronald Reagan and the Republicans in the 1994 elections. The liberal is always doomed when a strong conservative debates them and is willing to expose them because the liberal position is based on idealistic emotion and not on true facts. People in the center see this very plainly when a true conservative lays it out for them. Republicans have been getting their clocks cleaned because they haven’t distinguished themselves as being that much different than Democrats in an attempt (That doesn’t work) to attract the independent and moderate votes. As a dyed in the wool conservative, John Faulk won’t be making that mistake.
A strong conservative is only half the battle. The other half is someone with strong campaign organization and good name recognition. The ideal candidate is the one who has both of these ingredients regardless of their race or gender.
On this count, John Faulk is clearly the better candidate. John Faulk has already run a race against her, and received more votes in a decidedly Obama year than any previous challenger. John Faulk has walked the neighborhoods, run a previous campaign so that he now has a well organized campaign, and he has built up name recognition with his hard work during the last election. And John Faulk is an accountant instead of the typical lawyer that currently occupies most of our Congressional seats today. These lawyers are the ones who have wrecked our country through their reckless spending to buy votes. John Faulk is an accountant who is going to make sure these lawyer thugs are held accountable by exposing them.
