I never realized that FR is so popular in the Winston-Salem area.

Look who's back! :-)

[TaxRelief]

LOL! What's he going after? Pickeral or Northern Pike?

[TaxRelief]

It's Huber's fault! He tells EVERYBODY about Freerepublic!

[Dan from Michigan]

Anyone have questions for Mr. Tabor?

[Huber]

Hey, even RINOs and Jim and Tammy-Faye clones can be hit up for the dollar a day club!

[TaxRelief]

How are you going to pay back all those campaign loans and will this put Revival Soy out of business? (I like the soy bars).

[Huber]

I'm taking the unusual step of informing our readers about one very special 30-year-old candidate for Congress in North Carolina.

Your soy dollars at work!

[TaxRelief]

I like the soy bars. :(

[cbess_61]

Hello TaxRelief,

Haven't had the bars or any of the products. I will take your word for that.

However, FEC does not allow a company, any company, to loan money.

Okay, here's serious questions - tough, but fair. Few are "disqualifiers" for the "wrong" answer, but these are intended to dig beneath the usual level of banter:

(1) Frankly speaking, 30 years old strikes me as being still 'wet behind the ears' politically -- particularly when one shoots for a Congressional seat for his first effort. While I'll yield that the resume looks good, and I'll stipulate as well to the Conservative credentials, Congress is a place where one can get steamrolled without experience in give-and-take. How can you insure us that you will protect the interests of this area with that lack of experience?

(2) You live in Kernersville -- the eastern outpost of a substantially rural district (no, I can't fault you for where you live thanks to our district lines). Nonetheless, you are presenting yourself to represent the whole district. I've seen nothing thus far of your understanding of your potential constituents. Can you provide discussion to this?

(3) There's another way to look at this, and I am curious as to your philosophy: Congress has evolved from a body concerned about local issues to one driven more by national topics - most of the latter since you were probably cognizant of that. So will your campaign focus on local issues (requiring most focus inwardly on the district) or are you satisfied to discuss this seat as more of a national office and campaign relative to national issues?

[As an example - Jay Helvey is talking in his ads about closures of factories and lost jobs in the district]

(4) What are your priorities in running for Congress, and what do you think will actually be accomplished?

(4a) Given that this would indeed be your first political foray, how do you anticipate making that happen (and please, don't give me the 'forge coalitions with like-minded, yet unnamed fellow members of Congress' line -- that's not helpful: who do you know that can prove to us that you've got the connections to really make a difference?)?

(4b) What single issue drives you to stick your neck out and do this?

(5) Please answer the following multi-choice positional questions:

(a) Gun Control: more, less, about the same?
(b) Iraq, War on Terror: support more, roll-back, continue?
(c) Discretionary Spending: where do we need more, less, or continuation of same?
(d) Name some ways to boost the economy that Congress can do
(e) Abortion laws: encourage, reduce, or eliminate?
(f) Dept of Education: eliminate, maintain?
(g) Affirmative Action: encourage, reduce, or eliminate?
(h) Education: more funding, less funding, vouchers?
(i) Education: more federal or more state control?
(j) Taxes on wealthy: more or less?
(k) Taxes on all: flat, more progressive, less progressive?
(l) Bush Tax cuts: encourage, reduce, or eliminate?
(m) Home Schools: encourage, reduce, or eliminate?
(n) Tobacco Trade: encourage, reduce, or eliminate?
(o) Overseas Job Outsourcing/H1B Visas: encourage, reduce, or eliminate?
(p) US in the United Nations: encourage, reduce, or eliminate?
(q) International Law used in the US: encourage, reduce, or eliminate?
(r) Prayer in Schools, God in the Pledge, Ten Commandments, In God We Trust, .... you get the idea: encourage, reduce, or eliminate?
(s) Would you have voted for the Medicare Overall as enacted with Prescription Drug coverages?

(6) What are the reasons for skyrocketing medical costs, and is this a problem?

(7) How should most people be able to fund their retirement and declining years?

(8) How should North Carolina deal with job losses and industrial output losses -- and is this a Congressional role to repair?

(9) Does Revival Soy employ -- at any level of operations -- any non-American citizens? Please elaborate. Oh, I suppose that's pretty good for a start... Cheers, and good luck. [Nate's now #2 on my radar screen, but as I keep saying, it's early yet.]

I am just a reader of the National Liberty Journal. You will have to visit www.nathantaborforcongress.com or email nathan@taborforcongress.com. This is the contact info given in the article.

Gee, this sounded a lot like a forum soliciting questions and advertise a campaign for Congress. That's what Dan-from-michigan essentially said. I'd like the forum to see the answers where our traditional discussion can then take place.

I guess in short: the offer was made and I've jumped in -- I shouldn't have to work any harder for the answers if the candidate wishes a vote.

I'll check back.

I just thought it was a good article about a young man running for office.

I bet if you email him or let him know this site exists he would answer you. He is running for office.

However, that is up to you. I am just glad to see some younger people interested.
