Not sure Free Republic serves as a kick off point for pols, or campaign stops either.
Great message but pimping your own .com blog is frowned upon around here. I’m really certain about that if you get my drift.
Buy a clue before you proceed.
I understand that Free Republic is a place to post and discuss items of interest to conservatives and patriots. I am not sure why an author’s posting original material would be “pimping” as opposed to posting someone else’s work. If I am violating a rule of the site, I will certainly correct my mistake.
It is my hope to bring to the attention of FReepers thoughts based on my experience not readily found elsewhere. Case in point regarding the current posting, there are tons of items repeating parrot-like “Democratic filibuster” — how many have you seen explaining that cloture is the real issue? My intent is to avoid same-old, same-old. We’ll see if I succeed.
As for being a “pol” making “campaign stops,” at my site www.repealfatca.com please note an interview with me posted in ABC News. (”Meet the Man You’ve Never Heard of Who Desperately Wants to Be Vice President” Not my headline, by the way. I would have said “diligently,” not “desperately.”) I am not a politician and am not (yet) a declared candidate. I have publicly expressed an interest in the GOP Vice Presidential in large part because no one else has — in *either* party, ever, as far as I can tell. Accordingly, as exceedingly small as my chances might be (though probably no worse than Sen. Lindsey Graham’s chances of getting the Presidential nod), announcing my Veep availability seemed a good perspective from which to speak out on issues, which is my main interest. Keep in mind that there are no Vice Presidential primaries nor any pre-nomination debates. Hence, no need for candidacy or “campaign stops.”
