I am quite active in politics. It began while I was in high school, and had a very active history teacher and participated in Model UN. Yes I was, and probably still am a nerd.
Got a chance to meet all of the Republican candidates during the '96 cycle. I remain more impressed with Lamar Alexander than any candidate since, although Alan Keyes certainly can give a speech.
Elections are the only way that we can affect the course of our government. Now it is too corrupt, and driven by lobbyists. You can thank the tax code, as well as 40 years of one party control of the congress for that.
I can't believe that people here are contemplating the lurch to the left, and a nanny state, that many current candidtes are advocating. That ideology has failed everywhere it has been tried, often with spectacularly bloody results.
Our Bill of Rights is non-negotiable, not one little bit, not now, not ever.
Our government is too big, too expensive, too expansive and too intrusive.
Thomas Jefferson was right to fear for the future of the republic when people figured out that they could vote themselves money from the treasury, and thats basically where we are now.
Abraham Lincoln was also right when he said that as a nation of free men we would endure for a thousand years, or die by suicide, which is where I am afraid that we are going.
ED: I support the "Law & Order" candidate-- Fred Thompson.
