Litmus Test: A Tool for Conservative Voters in 2008

Each candidate needs to weigh in on where they stand on the globalist agenda. Will they work for the destruction of our country or not!

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. Your suggestion is an excellent one. I plan to feature the evils of globalists, and globalism in a blog soon. Please return, and let me know what you think.

I love this mentality. In a nutshell I think the media declares the frontrunners and then we're stuck with them. Well we're not stuck with them in the age of this new media, and I hope enough others figure that out in time for 08.

I am not fixed on this, but here's how I look at it right now.

Brownack
Huckabee
Ron Paul
Tacrendo
Hunter
Thomson
Romney

If I combine electability then I adjust as follows

Brownback
Huckabee
Paul
Thomson
Romney
Tacrendo
Hunter

I agree that the media plays a big roll, but I think money plays bigger. I really hate to sound this cynical, but unions, corporations and special interests really do buy our politicians.

Not all are bought of course, but rarely is the principled man elected nationally. If either Hunter or Tancredo were to win the nomination, I would be quite happy.

I fear however, that Giuliani, Romney or Fred Thompson will win, simply because the money they have raised will allow them to obtain constant media buzz.

You're correct in saying there is a new media now, and that could shape things a different way. However, just look at the postings here at TH; there are scores of people who say things like: "Tancredo is my favorite candidate, but I don't think he can win, so I'm voting Romney."

It comes down to a mentality. I only hope we can demand more of all of them.

I have looked closely at Romney and was surprised at what I saw. After some 12 hours on the internet I came away with a far different impression than MSM would ever have given. And he is a very strong fiscal conservative as well as a natural leader and gets the demo cross vote.

I think we have in Romney a young, and very close to original, Ronald Reagan. Wake up folks. Smell the bacon...

Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing your write up on the globalist agenda.
