I want a government that makes lobbying illegal. I want a government that enforces the immigration laws. I want a country that embraces morality and ethics. I want wars waged to win.

Whose "morality & ethics"??? Yours? Mine? Hillary's? The Taliban's?

Leave the "morals & ethics" to the philosphers and Holy Men - The governments job is to print money, build roads, maintain infrastructure, provide for defense and keep "a semi-level" playing field between the states.

Mixing "morality & ethics" with the power of government is a recipe for disaster...

Become a candidate and debate me. Just wanting is not enough, you have to go out and fight for what you want and before that you better make darn sure that is really what you want because you might get it.

Glad I'm not the only one. Their mere existence means that Congress is not representing their constituents, but the highest bidder.

I want a conservative movement that supports the right of the people to petition their government.

Sounds like you've been brainwashed by a liberal.

I don't know about you, but I just don't have the time to keep track of what the scoundrels in Washington are planning to do to me next. So I belong to a several groups of like minded citizens (e.g. NRA, AOPA) which do keep track for me, and (oooooh) lobby on behalf of their members.

You would make this illegal?

Huh? lobbying is at the essence of our Republic, without it, we have an oligarchy. You as a citizen have the very basic right to petition government, ie lobby. Likewise, you have the inalienable right to organize with like minded individuals (see 1st Amendment) and petition government en masse to better make your voices heard. I can't believe we have serious calls on FR to make this practice enshrined in the constitution illegal.

How about no wars except for the right reason, which is not anything seen recently.
