Mit would make a fine Secretary of the Treasury....I don't even want to see Rick Perry run again. We need a leader...(wayyyyyyy to many)....need to cut this herd down to size! NO EARLY VOTING!...when the time comes.
Everything opposite BHO and his socialist cronies. Ted Cruz sums it up well...
Someone who will stand up to the media to battle the free use of the MSM to promote liberal agenda/quash conservative agenda points.
Dump the u.n. in the east river. Exec Memo all BS gun laws off the books. Commit to either winning “confrontations” overseas or DO NOT send our kids there. Return to “Sticks and stone may break my bones but words will never hurt me.” and end the perpetually offended line of BS. Drill baby, drill. :>}
Backbone.
My #1 qualification is: LEADER who loves, respects, seeks GOD and inspires the rest of us to do the same!
I’d rather have someone who’d fight and only achieve one goal than have someone who said he believed the right principles but either wouldn’t fight or had no fight in him.

1) Will run the executive branch in strict conformance with the United States Constitution; and will veto ANY legislation passed by congress which represents an overreach of the powers of the legislative branch.
All the rest is just window-dressing.
What I’m looking for in a candidate for 2016? No R’s. Period.
13. Media savvy (i.e. someone who will not allow himself to be set-up for media destruction a la Sarah Palin in 2008)
I’m sure some would debate the order of importance of these things but the content of the list looks good.
We will not find a ruthless SOB in the Republican Party.
A comment on the #3 item. I have often wondered what it would be like if this whole mess was redone with respect to tax revenue. Tax only at the state or local level,meet the local & state needs First. What’s left can go to the feds(in case there IS any left),but it makes no sense to send money to D.C. & then get it doled back after they waste most of it. As a side effect,it should mean the funds would filter through fewer hands,& there should be some savings there. A lot of federal offices could be outright eliminated as it would be done at state/local level,& with much less duplication than exists now.
I, for one, did not want to see Bucky.
... the character traits we are looking for in a candidate for president, as well as any other political offices we'll be voting for this cycle.
Ok, I know someone who's going to run for Congress in 2016. Let's see how he stacks up.
1. Does not support the current climate theories that man-made products are over-heating earth's climate and will destroy the earth as we know it.
He knows that 'climate change' is a hoax perpetrated by the progressives to further seize power in your life.
2. Free market advocate
He has stated that the government has no authority under Article I, Section 8 to pick winners and losers in the economy.
3. Small government advocate. Supports states determining what is best for them, returning to states the power to run welfare, healthcare, education, etc. in a manner that suits their constituency....Welfare reform, if still carried by the federal government, returning to the reforms set out in the early 1990s, requiring able-bodied men and women to prove that they had tried to get work, but nothing in their skill level was available.
He is a firm believer in the Tenth Amendment.
4. Supports abolition of the 17th amendment, giving back to the states' legislatures the right to elect the 2 senators who will represent them. Supports (enthusiastically) term limits for all elected officials.
He has stated publicly that he is for repeal of the Seventeenth Amendment.
5. Abolish the IRS and establish a fair tax or flat tax with a possible tax on luxury items. States will still decide how they want to get their own revenue.
He has also stated publicly that the Sixteenth Amendment should be repealed.
6. Abolish the EPA and other federal agencies that have powers outside Congressional prevue and have become unnecessary. Return the regulatory power of every federal agency to Congress. No regulations can be made without the approval of Congress.
He strongly supports returning the government to its constitutional boundaries under Article 1, Section 8. The Congress has unconstitutionally transferred power to the Executive and all such legislation should be overturned.
7. Securing our borders, limiting immigration, with established periods (years) that would limit further immigration, giving time for those who have recently come to assimilate. Will enforce the immigration laws n the books already.
He has stated that all immigration should be suspended until our borders are secured and all existing, legal immigrants have been assimilated. Enforcement of our existing laws, such as penalizing businesses who hire criminal invaders and preventing all levels of government from providing assistance to criminal invaders, will drive criminal invaders to self-deport.
8. A return to the founding ideals that God gives us our freedoms, which the government cannot take away. Put God back into the public domain, which would include free speech about God and worship of Hm freely without fear of being sued, and the freedom to refuse business or action that would breach your Conscience. In other words, a return to sanity and throwing out political correctness.
He agrees with the Founders and Framers that our Rights come from God and that our Republican form of government can only be sustained by a moral People. He believes that it is the responsibility of our representatives to set a moral example.
9. No special classes of interest groups that have rights over any other group.
See above about Article I, Section 8 and returning our government to its constitutional boundaries. We are all citizens of the United States and should be equal in the eyes of the law.
10. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Civil unions could be given for others. Marriage, by definition is for a man and woman to pro-create, something that gay couples cannot do.
He is a devout Roman Catholic. He believes that words have meaning. He opposed the destruction of the institution of marriage.
.11. Suports the Article V process fully so that when the federal government refuses to act in behalf of its citizens, they have the freedom to act as delegated. In other words, they will not act against the states rights to address grievances or the overreach of the federal government.
Again, Article 1, Section 8 and the Tenth Amendment lay clear boundaries for what Powers were delegated to the federal government by the People and the States. All Powers not so enumerated are not federal and belong to the States or the People.
12. Will only use the "executive pen" for emergencies or things that truly require prompt action...or when Congress has turned a deaf ear to the Constitutionally provided civil liberties of the electorate, and not to make fiat law.
He believes that the Constitution does not enable the Executive to make law. This Power is specifically limited to the Congress under Article I, Section 1. Existing unconstitutional executive actions should be overturned and the legislative Power returned exclusively to the Congress.
If you are interested, he'll be making a formal announcement in the next couple of weeks.
