I guess I’m a little stunned when I hear conservative Republicans being interviewed as their state ramps up for a primary, how they talk about the most important characteristics a candidate might have, their positions on crucial issues like abortion, things like that. I guess what stuns me most is how some of them insist how the party must stick to these core principles if they hope to win, because it worked for them in the past, George Bush’s election and reelection cited as evidence.
Well wait a minute here. In eight years George Bush has run the country into the ground. You’re proud of this guy? Why aren’t you embarrassed, too ashamed to come out of the house, too chagrined to face a microphone?
The values voters in this country are overlooking the most important value of all — a strong democracy. This is a value that should matter to everyone, conservative and liberal alike. We can only ensure this with a chief executive who’s committed to the preservation of our democracy, one who understands all the factors involved in keeping it strong. Abortion, or freedom of choice, is not one of these factors. Neither is gay marriage or guns for everyone. I’m talking more about honoring the Constitution. I’m talking about a quality education for all. I’m talking about a health care system that is blind to everything but a person’s needs. I’m talking about pursuing policies that benefit not only Americans but all people of the world, and the world itself. I’m talking about setting an example that gives our claim as leader of the free world some credibility.
