I realize that, but as it is now I end up having to support a candidate that I have to hope keeps his conservative views. At least by making all contributions through a PAC I can have the power of the purse concerning future elections of that individual.
As all the pundits on TV are saying about Obama, now that hes in he gets to choose a more moderate or more radical liberalism. He was financed by the radical liberals, and the groundwork is being laid to tell them to take a hike.
Obama may be able to tell them to take a hike, but the House members who were elected with their dollars won't.
I think we need to consider starting a Reagan Republican Party or a Reagan Republican Trust Fund, where all of us conservatives can stop contributing any money to any Republican candidate or the Republican party and instead send our money to this trust fund. In order for any candidate to get their hands on any of that money, they would need to sign a pledge that they would only vote consistently with the principles of the Reagan Republican Trust Fund platform. Failure to follow those principles would result in the candidate being permanently prohibited from receiving any of the trust fund's money in the future.
My proposal for the Reagan Republican Trust Fund Pledge:
1) Lower taxes;
2) Limited Government;
3) Strong National Defense;
4) Secure Borders;
5) Protection of the unborn;
6) Individual 2nd Amendment rights;
7) Judicial Restraint;
8) Individual Liberty with Individual Responsibility;
9) Nationalism;
10) Patriotism - America First.
