I agree that the establishment republicans should lose to a conservative.
My problem, for what it is worth, is that none of the candidates make me happy, but the all have attributes that are acceptable to me.
I once again feel I am forced to pick from a group based on the attitude that one is less distasteful than the other.
I long for the days when a true conservative runs, who has been consistently conservative all of his or her life, who has a moral compass that shows that the live lived is what they preach, and who has a good heart and brains.
Out of 300 million people in this nation, is this the best slate of candidates we can muster to lead the bureaucratic behemoth that is supposed to protect us and guard our freedoms?
This is the best we can find to fight the spread of Islamic Jihadism? This is the best slate of candidates to rectify the financial terrorism that has been unleashed on us?
This is the group that will reverse the trend of more regulation, of more micromanagement of our behavior and actions? This is who will eliminate governments efforts to halt the free exercise of religion? of our right to defend ourselves? of our right to association, and travel? of our right to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures?
I’m sorry, but these are good people, but not what we need now.
This election in the primaries is in fact the election of the president, for the winner here is likely to defeat the socialist in chief. I am sad that our system will not allow people of a higher leadership ability, who set a better example, who have a greater spirit of sacrifice, to run for office and lead us out of this wilderness.
I pray that whoever is elected, will be touched in the heart in the right way, to leave me alone except to protect me from foreign threats, fraud, and crime. The rest is up to me.
The machine of party, of corruption, of crony capitalism, must be destroyed. This cannot happen if the people do not object.
I object.
On that indeed we can agree.
On that indeed we can agree.
