Do you want a president who tells you what you want to hear today, then tells another audience another thing tomorrow, and who said something entirely different to another crowd yesterday? I don't!
Wouldn't you rather have a president who said the same thing yesterday as he is saying today and will in all likelyhood say the same thing tomorrow, regardless of who is listening. I know I would feel a whole lot more secure with a president who, when speaking to the leaders of other nations, when he said something, they knew he meant it. I think Ronald Reagan and Jack Kennedy were like that, and I think Ron Paul is like that as well. No he is not the forceful speaker that either of the two men above were, but it is not how he says it but what he says that is important to me, and I think it would be to other national leaders as well.
We have a big decision, as Republicans, in our upcoming primaries. We have two conservative candidates, one in Ron Paul and one half each in Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee. Unfortunately the Democrats now have a choice of six candidates, Hillary, Obama, Edwards, Kucinich, McCain and Guliani. I am afraid that come November they will have a choice between only two, with no Republican in the race.
That's where we come in! We can decide whether we want to work to get a Republican on the ballot in November or just settle for two Democrats. Then we must decide whether we want just a half Republican or a full fledged one. Comes down to choices, there is really only one. Kind of makes our job a little easier, doesn't it?
