Someone For President

I heard a very popular radio personality (in this area) say, while talking about who should be President of the United States, that if he believed two candidates were equally matched in all the necessary ingredients, he would vote for the individual “that could do the most for me.”

I am sure I know what he means, but let me for a moment be critical of what he said. That seems to be a major problem in our society. What can be done for me? What do I get out of this? How am I going to prosper under this leadership? All important questions, no doubt. But is that what we really want?

I am going to support the individual who I believe will do what is right and best for the United States of America. Sometimes what I want is not what is best for our Nation. As a young man I watched my friends die in Vietnam, and I sought “peace at any price.” I am much wiser now.

So much of the rhetoric we hear on the “campaign trail” is about what some individual is going to do for “me” (which is probably an impossibility, and most likely untrue, e.g. “my Government will give you more and charge you less,” unhuh!) I, for one, don’t want to hear that. I want to know what you are going to do, and how you are going to do it, in leading our beloved United States of America to continued prosperity, safety, and individual freedom to pursue life, liberty and happiness.

Have you considered Mike Huckabee? I’m taking a real close look.
