Sorry, I just can't get worked up over a "universal healthcare" candidate. Hell, I'm from Massachusetts and I can't get worked up over a Massachusetts candidate. After Dukakis and Kerry did such a grand job of embarassing our state, I think all citizens from Massachusetts should be barred from running for national office for a period of twenty years.
Are you pro-RKBA? Are you for smaller, more Constitutional government? Do you want to re-privatize the medical care industry? Do you want to end corperate welfare? Are you strong on National defense including the defense of our Borders? Do you feel that private property should never be taken just to be given to another private party, no matter what some ephemeral "public good" may derrive from it?
Those are my "litmus test" issues. They cut pretty close to the core of the things I look for. If you answered "yes" to all of them, why don't you run??
