Chuck served as a Reagan White House appointee in the Pentagon from 1986 to 1988. As Special Assistant for Foreign Affairs his duties included working with Congress to advance the President’s foreign and military policy. Chuck’s official travels took him to Asia, Europe, Africa, and Central America. His initiative helped develop the Arrow Anti-Ballistic Missile program.

DeVore for California
If I were doing his website, and this piece, I would put right at the top what he stands for: lower taxes, strong defense, no coddling terrorists, whatever. You have to go to a different link to find out what his positions are on the issues, and some people simply won’t bother. What he has done in the past is all very well and good, but people need to know, first, what he stands for. I notice they are trying to use the term “common sense” as code for what he believes and how he would govern, but that is way too vague.
Rather than put more Americans out of work in service of a global issue, we should seek to grow our economy AND reduce greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging the development of modern nuclear power. Nuclear power produces energy with total lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions equal to 20g of CO2 per kWh. This is less lifecycle emissions than solar or wind and 55 times less than coal, from which we get half of our electricity in America.
Interestingly enough, however, India has its own version of the redneck subculture, as many of my Indian friends have often commented on, its just that not many immigrate to the states. Brazil has the Caipiras, with their love of big trucks, country music, and rural pastimes (hunting, cockfighting, etc.).
And Mexico has its nacos. Televisa has a comedy show making fun of them, and it is pretty funny. The nacos don’t seem to take offense. I suspect it is because no one realizes they are a naco, and think it refers to someone else.
“If I were doing his website, and this piece, I would put right at the top what he stands for: lower taxes, strong defense, no coddling terrorists, whatever.”
Absolutely. That advice goes for every conservative candidate.
For example the article posting reads like a resume. Almost anybody can have an impressive resume.
Like you, I want to get right to the heart of the matter, with straightforward words.
I just watched him on Beck.
Very impressive!!!!
“I just watched him on Beck. Very impressive!!!”
I think so...best we will do here, I think...
