It's not so much that ... I'm kind of glib about this entire topic because, to be honest, positions aren't the first questions to ask anyone who seriously considers running for a public office.
So here are my questions:
Why do you think you'd be able to be the first successful modern Presidential Candidate without the backing of either political party?
How do you plan to be able to financially compete in a Presidential race?
What experiences do you have working with Congress?
How would you, as an independant, be able to work with Congress (specifics)?
What government leadership experience do you have?
Being POTUS (or any government head, for that matter) requires a lot more than ideas and positions (even good ones). Thousands of people call talk radio everyday with ideas. But transforming those ideas into public policy is something entirely different. And getting elected leader of a nation of hundreds of millions isn't something one can just jump right into, good ideas or not.
I can entertain the topic if it's about your political viewpoints, as I have and share many as well. But as a serious discussion about a bid for POTUS ... well, that's another thing entirely. And, to be honest, it certainly doesn't engage anyone as a voter anymore than any other political debate.
