You Can’t Push a RopeI find my campaign at a bit of a crossroads. I’ve learned a lot over the last year, and I realize how far I have to go in the next year before Oregon’s primary. At this point I will be putting the campaign on “glide.” I’ll continue to post comments to the blog, and I’ll participate in any interviews that arise, but I can’t justify spending further resources (time and money) that should be directed toward my family. Consider Rep. Ron Paul. Of the current credible Republican candidates, Ron Paul represents the most distinct choice for limited government and individual liberty. I hope we see his name on the Oregon primary ballot. If the primary were held today, I’d vote for Ron Paul. Watch Rudy Giuliani. There are points on which I don’t agree with Rudy, but I think his approach toward government is practical and effective. He is much more socially open-minded than most of his Republican competition. I think he is one of the few Republican candidates who could be electable after the eight-year reign of dubious governance by the current cabal of social-cons, neo-cons, xenophobes, homophobes, and thought police. Hold your nose if you must vote for John McCain. His straight-talk express has been morphed to every audience and every issue. This career politician is grasping at all straws in this last hurrah of a campaign. Romney, Brownback, Huckabee, Hunter, Gingirch, Tancredo; All pseudo-cons who will adopt a social or religious conservatism and shove it down the throat of the American people through an intrusive big-government approach to legislating morality. Vote for a Democrat or stay home rather than voting for these usurpers of liberty. Thanks to everyone who has been supportive of my campaign to this point. I know there’s an audience for my message, and I was encouraged by my showing at the Dorchester Conference, but without millions of dollars to sell the message, it’s hard to get an audience. Now that the big money is getting involved, the “marketplace of ideas” is overwhelmed by quantity over quality. Michael Previous: Bong Hits 4 Jesus -- Next: War Czar? No Frickin’ Way. |
