CEO of the US, politicians need NOT apply
self

Posted on 07/21/2014 1:31:21 PM PDT by simka

We do not need Hillary or Warren or any career politician. We do not need another leader in debt to big business, financial backers or his party agenda. We do need someone truly independent of all political pressures, capable of resolving all the damage done to this country. The names that come to mind are Ben Carson, Mitt Romney and maybe Ted Cruz. What say you all?

Johnson is ever further left than Ron and Rand Paul. See my tagline for the truth about liberals.

I’m hoping Maxine Waters will throw her wig into the Democratic Party’s nut cluster, she would go well with Moonbeam.

The Republican circus will be three ring, and amateurish as every wannabe, power hungry Republican with name recognition, famous or infamous, maybe even McCain, ranging from Republican left to Cruz, will jump in to make sure we get a looser, but I hope Cruz proves me wrong.

And as well as most other liberaltarians; he is por-abortion.

From Wiki.....

Johnson is a strong supporter of civil liberties and received the highest score of any candidate from the American Civil Liberties Union for supporting drug decriminalization and having a pro-choice stance on abortion

The guy has quickly become a one-issue “legalize pot” candidate.

Incorrect. Johnson, a 2 term R governor in a majority D state, reduced taxes and increased revenues to NM Government, and was generally very popular and successful as Governor. Don't let the smoke fool ya. Johnson is a true conservative.

Your "liberaltarians" are gonna be the last ones standing in the fight for liberty. God knows the R's have already given up the battle. Way to go!

A bum that, since his wildly successful turn as 2 term governor of NM has gone on and climbed Mt Everest, among many other successful endeavors. So much for trying to pull that BS 'stoner' stereotype.

Cruz is the only one of the 3 that have the most actions that match his words. Ben Carson, is a close second. Romney...neh, not so much. No more progressives.

Really? He has a pro-dope agenda and is pro-choice on abortion. In other words; he is the typical libertarian.

Are YOU pro-choice too?

Why choose just one?

George Washington would be first in line to say that he was not particularly brilliant as a leader. However, he had a gift to choose brilliant people to surround himself with.

It is deceptive to try and choose a president as a person. Instead, imagine what a “dream cabinet” of conservatives would look like.

If we as a nation are blessed with a conservative POTUS and a conservative congress, they are also going to have to be the hardest working men and women that Washington, D.C. has seen in a century.

Some members of the cabinet would have the sole function to *downgrade* or even close out their agency. Others will need to purge thousands of federal employees who broke the law. As well as having to revamp phone books full of nit picking and unconstitutional regulations designed to impede business and oppress the citizenry.

Hopefully the POTUS will spend a lot of his time staying *out* of the limelight, working with congress to reduce the power of the POTUS back to more constitutional grounds.

Then to turn the budget process into block grants for the states, the reversal of huge numbers of executive orders and other offenses, and the reorganization of the judiciary.

Libertarians are going to be happy to trade-off with the leftists to get their drugs and crap. They agree on most of these things, free sex, open borders, pro-abortion, gay agenda. In the end we end up with libertarian socialism. I think that is their end goal.

They have nothing in common with conservatives.

I don't believe in abortion, period. I also believe that anyone who has one will answer to a much higher authority than you or I, and it will be a horrible price for them to pay. Much more horrible than you or I could ever impose.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Repeating for emphasis....

They have nothing in common with conservatives.

I said upthread, and I’ll say it again. I’d sooner support a RINO than a liberal like Johnson or Paul.

In God's eyes, it already is. I don't rightly care what man has to say on the subject.
