Sarah's Thoughts
My Want Ad
WANTED: A presidential candidate who will not promote policies that run counter to the intentions of our Constitution. This person must recognize universal health care, social security and other bloated federal programs for the disaster that they are, not only financially but for the character of our country. Candidate must embrace ideals of federalism that were deemed essential to the founders of our country, with as many decisions as possible being left to the states. Applicant MUST be a good communicator who can persuade not only Americans but people around the world of the value to be found in the individual and the evil that comes with oppression and fanaticism. The importance of immigration reform should be addressed, but the candidate cannot endorse building a wall or focusing on one race of people as solutions. This person has to place the safety and strength of the United States above all other issues. A candidate need not apply if he or she thinks that two dudes who want to commit to one another is the most important problem facing our country or that climate change is a bunch of hooey made up by treehugging wackos.
Both men and women are encouraged to apply. Race does not matter. Religious affiliation does not matter. The amount of times you can use 9/11 or Katrina in a speech does not matter. Belief in freedom, individualism and limited government is vital.
Is there anyone out there who qualifies to respond to my ad?? I’m beginning to think not.

Ron Paul would be good for America but unfortunately, he is tainted by religion and is a anti-choicer. Fred Thompson is dumb, lazy, not a good debater, looks terrible and is dying of cancer. He has no chance. Giuliani is abhorred by the religious right but will likely get the nomination because the GOP religious conservatives will not vote for him. Due to the incompetence of the Bush administration, the GOP is falling apart and the groundwork is being laid for the return of the Clinton’s to the White House, the improvement of America’s image world wide, and a Democratic party dynasty for the next decade to come. I love it.
