My Failed Attempt

I've been posting a lot of right-wing stuff lately, most likely designating me as a crazy Republican. Like I've told quite a few people, my dream is to be a U.S. Senator. Let me stray from my pro-war, anti-immigration, and tax-cutting punditry to explain why my attempt at becoming a Republican U.S. Senator of a red state will be ill-fated.

What will surely not get me the votes I need to even win a primary, on a legal level, I am mostly pro-choice. I don't believe that something growing inside of a woman the size of popcorn kernel should have the same rights as a fully-developed person. The government should not have the right to tell a woman to carry and deliver a baby whether she wants it or not. Conservatives want small government, but only in cases that apply to their political agenda. This is not to say Liberals don't. The morality of abortion I am on the other side of the fence about. If you feel your responsible enough to have intercourse, you should be responsible to carry the baby you and a man have made.

If that doesn't get me elected, this sure won't. I'm agnostic. This would have much effect on my votes in a Senate seat. I am against Creationism and do not believe intelligent design should be taught in public schools. (Although that is more of a constitutional question.) The constituents, for the most part, would see me as a man without values. That is because, as you all know, you can't have values without God. I do believe in good and bad and that values are very important in life and especially in a child's upbringing, but an opponent for a Senate seat would capitalize on my lack of faith.

I have two choices to make: Fake Christianity and support pro-life causes, or have hope the people of my red state will open their minds to a new type of Conservative. I have eight years to decide but I do have faith. My faith comes from John F. Kennedy. When everyone said a Catholic could not become President, he overcame adversity. Maybe I'll be the first pro-choice open agnostic to represent a red state as a Republican. I'll keep my eye on the prize.

Design your platform on the items you believe in most. I think most Republicans don't get caught up in the right-to-life push. Republicans typically vote based on three issues--foreign policy, domestic policy, and state rights. The rest is just a lot of hot air. Ask the people down in New Orleans if they give a damn about John Roberts and what he might believe. What the people want is the ability to deploy help and social assistance to get on with their lives.

Thanks for the optimistic boost. I may just have to wait for the right time to spring my candidacy.
