I am a small time politician considering attempting a run at Congress.
I never really wanted to serve more than at the local level, but recent events have pushed some friends into convincing me to at least consider reaching higher.
I'm lower 40s white male, Christian upbringing, college educated. I've served in the Army and currently own a couple business interests.
My political leanings lean towards fiscally conservative and socially liberal if I were forced to define myself.
I believe this country needs to return to its roots. A small federal government which REGULATED but did not strangulate her citizens.
A PEOPLE who demanded their rights, BUT respected the rights of others.
A people who cared about their fellow man.
An educated people
Now many people accuse me of being in the middle and I'm sure that some here will do the same , as I don't judge things based on are they left or right, conservative or liberal. I judge them on "is this what the founding fathers had in mind when they designed our government" I think that today the answer to that question is NO all too often.
Let me add, I'm not here to call names, or be called names. I'm not here to fight over the meaning of a word, I'm not here to argue over semantics. I'm not here to play any of the usual games. So if you are, I probably will just ignore you as I do with children when they interrupt the adults and move on with my conversation.
To the rest of you, I look forward to discussing the various topics.
PS - Billy Zane is obviously a nom du guerre, one must protect their personal identity while online. Sad is that is.
