but overall I respect them all for TRYING

Not me. If I believed they were TRYING to get elected to an office for the purpose of helping their Country, I might agree with you. However, I believe they are mostly narcissists who are running for their own self aggrandizement. I believe most are corrupt and my personal freedom is one of the farthest things from their minds.

It is a game of money and power and those with little of either are unimportant.

There are millions of easier ways to get money and power.

Running for president of course involves ego—big deal. Every great achievement does.

The Republicans running want to help shape the country, not just bitch about it.

Well I hope you feel good about yourself now that you’ve established that you are above it all.

But tell me, when has anything been accomplished on a grand scale when those most responsible were not at least somewhat motivated by personal gain or fame or both? NEVER I suppose.

You know, its a little bit flimsy to claim to be a conservative economically and then worry about what is in it for folks who attempt certain things. Smacks of hypocrsiy.

But you shouldn’t mind. After all, we now know you are altruistic in motivation.
