The Republican Party rejected and censored the only real man who ran for the presidency in 2008. Political campaigns have become the bandwagons of shrieking, insulting shrews of the elite, thriving on government paychecks or bailouts and falsely accusing all dissenters. From now on, I will only vote for a candidate—a man—who has a solid voting record in favor of

* Producing American goods and preventing traitorous deals with foreign communists and other enemies.

* Supporting fatherhood in families by repealing feminist laws and closing anti-family offices.

* Supporting market-based education. Teachers and administrators should receive what they earn in competition.

* Supporting sincere allies without betraying them for pecuniary and pagan interests—pecuniary meaning allowing Iran to build nuclear weapons out of fear of higher freight fuel prices and foreign product prices, lying about moving the Israel Embassy to Jerusalem,...

* Putting organized crime down—drug family members manipulating local governments, regulations abused to stop some families from legitimately competing,...

Until we see enough support for such a man, the consequences of hormonally conceived and perpetrated policies will continue to weaken and destroy America. I can do nothing more than watch the demise of so many Americans to lives of peasantry under compulsive, libertine, globalist plutocrats.

He was the true Reaganite in the race and it showed in the fact that he didn't spend time telling everyone about it.


As Ann Coulter wrote in her new book, the best-qualified of all the candidates is Rep. Duncan Hunter. During the debate he was the candidate who provided the best information about the economy and had a first-rate suggestion of what we need to do.

He keyed in on what must be one of the most important economic issues – trade.

He talked about our shocking $800 billion trade deficit, and what the Chinese are doing to us. Duncan understands that when anybody cites Ronald Reagan as a free-trade advocate in defense of our present trade policies, they need to remember that in my dad's playbook, protection of the American people came before anything else.

Take the case of Harley-Davidson. My father protected this American manufacturer of motorcycles against lower-priced Japanese imports. When he acted in behalf of an American company, Kawasaki and Honda reacted by moving their plants to the U.S. and created American jobs for American workers.

His policy was so successful that although he gave five years of protective tariffs to Harley-Davison, they didn’t even need that long a time before they could turn their company around. Given a level playing field they proved their superiority as an American manufacturer.

Ronald Reagan did the same thing with semiconductors, and the auto and steel industries. He also forced the Japanese and others to open up their markets to American products so that trade would be fair. When that didn’t happen he would impose tariffs on those products coming into the U.S., thus protecting American manufacturers.

Sure, he was a free trader who wanted too open up trade, but he always sought first to protect the sovereignty of the United States and its manufacturing base. He did not confuse free trade with giving the store away.


The effects of our current trade policies and the horrendous trade deficit they have produced are a gun pointed at the heart of our economy, and the Republican who can stand up and tell the truth about this problem and its solutions will be the one who emerges from the pack.

You have some pretty tough standards. LOL.

Mine should be relatively easy for a man of conservative, pro-America princliples to follow.

Support US sovereignty and reject any international agreements that encroach on it.

Support the Constitution, as it was written and amended. Devolve the Federal leviathan back to its constitutional limits

Support American business and capitalism

Maintain a military capable of defeating all enemies

Dismiss Political Correctness for the marxist construct that it is.

Give thanks to the Almighty for granting us his favor and act in a manner to deserve that favor
