WOW, that's some pretty heavy stuff....But why?

I've been told that I have too much time on my hands....Maybe so. Since I retired in February 2008, I've been trading in the Stock market. As I sat at my desk doing the research and following the market tics, I followed the political situation developing into the election and since, and the deteriorating economic turmoil. I had the time to closely examine all of the speeches, reactions, and comments. I was very closely involved during the Bear Sterns and Lehman debacles....and General Motors and Chrysler. I watched the blatant disregard by government of established contract law and bankruptcy proceedings. Researching the causes and results of the housing boom and bust, I came to the conclusion that it was all the result of negligent agenda driven government policies. I was able to observe the deceit and partisanship of Congress (House and Senate) and the Administration. I have been able to read and study the most simple and brilliant legal document ever written by man, the Constitution on the United States of America. I have observed this government ignore it as if it were yesterday's newspaper. I then did some more research on how this has been going on for more than a century. The departure from strict adherence to this document has been the cause of more problems than have been solved. This has come about from the interpretation being drawn from the events of the day, the Constitution is a living document and must be related to the times. This is to put it mildly, crap. The Constitution was written in the language of the day but it is very simple and clear in its definitions and meanings. The only way to interpret it in any other way is to add meanings that are clearly not there or ignore as irrelevant explicit stated meanings.

You sound quite conservative....so why Independent and not Republican?

You make it sound as though I'm blaming Democrats for all of the problems. Not so....the Democrats are the party in control (?) at the moment so they are the ones basically on the hook for whatever happens. Our present economic problems have been brewing for years. The CRA (Community Reinvestment Act) came about during the Carter Administration. We are all concerned with the solvency of Social Security which has been around since FDR and has been pillaged since day 1. I could go on and on but I think that I've made the point. Over the years it hasn't been just the Democrats. The Republicans have been just as guilty of negligence to the people. It seems that most of the problems occur when one party has exclusive control. Since WWII we have generally seen good times during the Reagan and Clinton administrations. Reagan (R) had a Democrat Congress and Clinton (D) had a Republican Congress. Carter (D) had a Democrat Congress and Bush (R) had a Republican Congress except for the last 2 years (when the deficit started skyrocketing(?)). Normally a Congressperson votes along party lines except for some moderate Democrats as we have been seeing recently. They act almost like Independents. I support ideas of both parties (See my support and oppose pages and solutions pages). I think that I have explicitly described where I stand on issues and will continue to update my positions as I further discuss and research them and new issues. In order to get a true picture of the political landscape, everyone should study and question my stance as well as all other candidates. Most everyone will spin good times to come if you elect them, but it is the responsibility of all voters to "question boldly". A lot of things fall unnoticed through the cracks and are not even considered until it's too late. When I say "too late" I mean after the election when you can't really do anything about it until the next election. It is your responsibility to yourself, your family, the city, county, state, and country to know who and what you are voting for. Voting blindly (we have seen this all to often….in Congress) or strictly along party lines because your father and grandfather did is as bad as not voting at all. I take pride in being an Independent, as I can form my own opinion rather than having someone else telling me what I should think or fall out of favor with the party. What party? I repeat that I have no party and take pride in being able to form my own opinion and can in fact change my mind if someone provides a strong enough argument. If you think that that is a strange attitude for a politician, you are right. A politician must convince you that they know best and you need to follow their lead. I am not a politician. I am your neighbor. I have experienced the same things that you have. I am concerned about the same things that you are… taxes, economy, healthcare, schools, retirement...... Talk to me. We can work things out. We can get a better control of the government and our future. Help me to help you.....

OK, but you are new to politics and have lofty ideals and want to do right by the people that you want to represent. How do we know that you won't lose your political soul and be corrupted with power in a couple of years or terms?

First of all, I am not a professional politician! Nor do I have the desire to be. If I am elected I will accept no more that 2 terms. I do want to be able to enjoy some of my retirement.

I do not associate myself with organized religion but I do have personal faith. I believe that Christians (as I do) protect their spiritual soul with the word of God. I believe that Americans (no matter what their party) must protect their political soul with the words of the founders. God doesn't give us the choice to change his words in the Bible, Torah, Koran...or whatever religious writings that you follow, if you disagree. Our founders did. If we disagree with the words of the Constitution, we can change them. They left us a process in which we can make changes to the supreme law of the land. They did not leave it open to interpretation as has become the norm. There are those that disagree with its words and try to convince us that it means something else. It must be viewed and followed as written. If you don't agree with it follow the process and change the words if you can. Otherwise, respect and follow it. I have often said that the Constitution is the definition of Americanism and evasion of it constitutes an un-American activity. I will wrap myself in the Constitution and gird myself with the founders’ words. This I believe is the only way to preserve my political soul.
