Would you support me if I decided to run for political office?

[invisible]

No hesitation in voting yes. Even when you have disagreed with people, you have still had an open enough mind and the intellectual honesty to admit when someone else is correct with a superior argument. That shows integrity.

Well said!

 

[misterx]

I voted maybe. I'd have to know more about you still, and who your opponent is, but more than likely based on what you've said so far. What is your position on borders? Do you believe in the free movement of people, or the right to national sovereignty?

Really? You know Brett, a.k.a. Traditional Conservative. He's stuffy by libertarian standards, but that's right down Kansas' alley. He knows how to stick to his guns. He was here when you got here, you ought to know him by now.

And I would hope he's for open borders! And you do too! Get a map and look at what borders the Kansas State Legislature is responsible for, before you take him to task for not promising a wall...

We can get a posse up on the overpass with some signs and stuff, too.

Now we're talking!

Voted Maybe,

it would be irresponsible to pledge my support without first researching the other candidates

Sorry, I don't hang out here as much as you. However, from what I know of him I'll more than likely support him. Anyways, I won't support him if he is someone who is going to vote for driver's licenses for illegal aliens, or any number of other things that state legislators do to support the third-world invasion of the United States.

Like acptulsa said, I'm certainly in favor of the free movement of people across the Kansas border. I'm opposed to driver's licenses for illegal immigrants.

Hmmm, well ok. The only candidate who's likely to be in the race is the current incumbent, who's pretty close ideologically to someone like Susan Collins. Although I guess you never know for sure who might enter the race.

 

[The Rebel Poet]

It sounds like you should promote a state constitutional amendment to stop the court from doing that.

This. It's the right thing to do, and as a bonus, the phrase "activist judges" is major red meat.

 

[The Rebel Poet]

my views will have to be watered down to some extent

Are you referring to how you vote, what you plan to say your views are, or with what tone you explain what your views are?

 

[Brett85]

Mostly rhetoric. For instance, I'm not running a campaign "opposing" public schools. However, I'm at least going to point out specific examples of waste within public schools, and illustrate that getting rid of this waste won't harm public schools, but will actually enhance our children's education. I live in a rural community where a large number of voters are employed by public schools. It's a delicate issue that requires a smart approach.

 

[Brett85]

I will, however, be absolutely clear that the Kansas Supreme Court should have no role in the issue of education. And yes, the Kansas Constitution should be amended to say something similar to that.

 

[Brett85]

I have a website that's still a work in progress. I created it on GoDaddy and had never done that before, so some things need to be changed. The bottom two sections actually apply to a business and not a political campaign and need to be removed. A donation page needs to be added. I think I have someone who goes to my church who's going to help me with that. But, I've come up with 13 different issue positions if you guys are interested in reading through it. Here it is.

What do you think your chances of being elected are? Reading from your link it sounds like you're pushing the envelope of what today's dumbed down 'Muricans will tolerate. Good for you.

I'm not sure. Admittedly, it will be tough because my opponent won his last race 76% to 24%. He's well liked on a personal level. But, the guy who ran the last time didn't start his campaign until June, and I'm going to officially start in January. Also, my opponent voted for the largest tax increase in state history in the last legislative session, so I think that could cause him to lose at least some support.

Ouch. Ya, a early start and getting your name, face and message out there big time is the only way to beat that.

We didn't always agree on things but I like what I read from your link. And you being here as long as you have gives me some hope you'll try to stick to it. I would support you.

You need to repeatedly hammer them on this, every chance you get! Looks like you've got a decent start on the website.

My website is finally completed.
