Aren't we all tired of seeing corrupt politicians from both sides of the aisle? We need leaders who will place America's interests above party politics. We need leaders who can, crazy as it might sound - lead. But where are they? I would vote for an Independent, a Democrat, a Republican, or a Libertarian if he/she:
- Faithfully follows the Constitution of the United States of America
- Does not cower to special interests
- Will not blindly vote the way party leaders instructed him/her to vote
- Is morally, ethically upstanding
- Loves the United States, flaws and all
Republicans are licking their collective lips as they prepare for 2010 elections. I hope they don't take President Obama's approval rating dive as a sign that they can go back to "business as usual". Republicans had control of the House and Senate for 4 years and the Presidency for 8. They squandered their opportunity to reduce government spending and steer the country back towards our Constitution.
In a country of over 300 million people, why is it so difficult to find good leaders? Where are they?

ReplyDeleteUSA-loving statesman. However, to answer your question, someone like that will not have the financial or political backing to mount a successful campaign. After 2008 elections, it is evident that all you have to do is blame everything on the previous administration over and over and over while spending $100+million.
You could be right. I want to believe that with citizen movements gaining traction, there still might be hope for someone like Jim Demint to lead and inspire our nation.
