Michael Charles Smith – Candidate for U.S. President
Representing Traditional Conservative Values of Smaller, Less Intrusive GovernmentWhy Michael? The American Dream is increasingly unreachable for too many hard working families. Opportunity should not be limited to those with connections. The competitive “marketplace” of political ideas and vision should not be limited to millionaires and insiders. Send a candidate to the Republican Convention to keep the discussion honest and to reflect all Republicans, not just the most strident. 
Fiscal Conservative - Limited Federal Government within a Balanced Budget
Social Libertarian - Individual Responsibility with Minimal Governmental Intrusion
Parent - Education, Healthcare, and Economic Opportunity Now and for Our Children
Pro States’/Local Rights - The Government that Governs Best Governs Locally
Veteran - Honor Our Military by Raising the Threshold for Foreign Intervention |
Campaign UpdatesWell, that was fun...OK, so this “campaign” has been on the shelf for some time. I just couldn’t justify spending my time or money on tilting at the Republican windmill. What did I learn? The Republican Party is not what it professes to be. Although some good individuals hold to the principles of personal liberty and individual accountability, the vast majority within the Party are simply phobic conformists who want to use government to advance their views. The interests with money want to protect their money, the fearful chumps with little more than “faith” want government to embody their narrow view of righteousness, and none of them have the integrity to care whose rights they trample to achieve their goals. Democrats want to throw your money at society’s ills. Their economics are flawed, and their interpretation of their constitutional mandate rather broad, but at least they are working toward constructive goals. |
