John Cox announced his presidential campaign in March 2006, and he should be included in more debates. In a May 2007 poll in Iowa, he received the support of 1%, and Rep. Paul received the support of 0%.

I’d vote for him. Which is more than I can say for McCain or Rudy.

Thanks for saying that you’re more likely to vote for Cox than for McCain or Rudy. To learn more about John Cox, please read his site, www.cox2008.com.

He’s not an unknown anymore. Last week, in a Texas straw poll, Cox received more votes than McCain, Brownback, and Tancredo.

OMG, this guy's site is a complete trip. Now I know it is a vanity run.

Some of the best laughs are his photoshops of himself, like this one..

You have to love the vanity runs in that they at least bring some fun into the mix.

How hard someone works has never been a good measure of that person’s effectiveness nor of his value. Being able to work hard is a single trait among many other important factors.

Are you referring to the whole TEN votes he received?

Kind of curious, other than school board, what election has Cox ever won? Without a voting record to back up his rhetoric, how do we know he really stands for what he says?

I thought it was the worst ever.

Until I saw his video presentation at the Iowa Straw Poll...

Yes, I’m referring to the 10 votes Cox received. McCain received eight. Brownback and Tancredo received six each.

He was elected to the Glenview, IL Zoning Board, and he served, on that board, for two years. I know that he stands for what he says because he’s been saying many of the same conservative views for at least six years. In 2002, he ran for the U.S. Senate, in IL, and received 23%, in a three-candidate primary.

I take Cox very seriously. Rovian Storm and I are secretly plotting to bring to the for front in May...

If everyone thinks Fred is so great for delaying until now, just imagine how successful going full bore on a campaign will be after the Primary...

Not to be picky, but even RINOs know what we are up against in the WOT, for the most part.

You know, a better strategy for Cox would be to start his fund-raising after the general. This way, he will be the only person receiving press on presidential fund-raising during that time.

Let me correct this again for you.

It would allow him to concentrate his efforts, and the debates would be mercifully short...
