I’ve read some of the posts here. I see you’ve posted some ideas. But some of those are not Constitutional and this the standard which we are to govern. The constitution is the hedge put upon government for obvious and many reasons. Education for example is not a federal mandate. It belongs entirely up to the parents, not the government. You have many good ideas but they may not be carried out by the person you are hoping for. How do you know he will not “change” his mind, or mature some more and settle on another standard?

So why not settle on someone who has already proven himself and is a conservative by action and not promises and words?

Here are some ideas which have be espoused by him and I believe he will strive to do them without changing course.

So what’s the matter with these ideas?

1. Make Bush tax Cuts Permanent, bot will not stop there.
2. Option to opt out of SS. Have own accounts.
3. Pro life, abolish federal influence of Roe vs Wade. Some states will immediately be pro-life be default.
4. He will not infringe on any of our Gun rights.
5. I want someone who would not appoint another O’Conner or Sueter. He says he would not, thus better than Reagan.
6. Will veto or vote against the tax and spend policy currently in Washington.
7. Known for his pro-gun stance.
8. Has been and still does fight for our civil liberties. “Don’t taser me bro” Should not have been taken lightly.
9. Would not allow federal funding embryonic stem cell research.
10.”Marque and Reprisal Act of 2001.” Puts the focus back on bin Laden and al-Qaida, the horrific crimes of September 11th until they are punished.
11. A defense policy designed to keep Americans safe should start with the idea that we must secure our borders from those who would cross them to do us harm.
12. Re-focus the efforts of our military and intelligence services on locating those individuals who planned the terrorist attacks on the U.S. and who remain at large.
13. Push for a complete overhaul of U.S. intelligence requirements and capabilities.
14. An America-first defense policy will not go abroad seeking monsters to slay, but will deter through “strength” and lead by example.
15. Government health care only means long waiting periods, lack of choice, poor quality, and frustration
By removing federal regulations, encouraging competition, and presenting real choices, we can make our health care system the envy of the world once again. Health care is spiraling out of control precisely because of the federal involvement.
16. He’s an advocate of property rights. We must stop special interests from violating property rights and literally driving families from their homes, farms and ranches.
17. He thinks that, “The Constitution was written to restrain the government, never to restrain the people.”
18. As president, he will work to restore a free-market in energy. In particular, he will work with Congress to repeal federal regulations and taxes that impede the development of new energy sources. Any source that truly is cheaper and cleaner, yet still reliable, will not need government help to develop or sell.
19. He’ll stop taxing Social Security and tips for starters.
20. Any tax not passing his Constitutional test will not get passed. We need a new method to prioritize our spending. It’s called the Constitution of the United States. Many so called conservatives have forgotten this requirement. Not this candidate though.
21. He will physically secure our borders and coastlines.
22. End birthright citizenship. As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be citizens, the incentive to enter the U.S. illegally will remain strong.
23. He understands that the federal government does not own our children. He will also supports giving educational control back to parents, who know their children better than any politician in D.C. ever will.

So what say you to these ideas people? Are not these conservative ideas?

2. Option to opt out of SS. Have own accounts.

If people are allowed to opt completely out of SS, every rational person will do so and there will be no incoming revenue stream to pay any current retirees.

If one tracks the difference between present cash value of SS' existing assets, versus present cash value of existing future obligations, it's abundantly clear that Social Security alone has about as much debt as everything else in the federal government combined. That debt will eventually have to either be repaid, repudiated, or some of both. The longer things go, the bigger that debt will get, and the bigger the explosion when repayment or repudiation becomes unavoidable.

What's needed is for a politician to make clear the state of things, and invite the public to pay proper respects to FDR at his memorial.
