So the man in the relationship has no bearing what so ever, if there is a child in question? Just lost my vote~
Thats the problem with our Family Courts system, they are way to biased towards women, with the mans " say" being deemed irrelevant. Without the mans " seed " the child in question would not exist. Remember, it takes two to tango.

I would vote for you if you could prioritize the maximum funding of a free-energy race. Once there is this "free energy" for all, while the big utility companies collapse like 'building 7', then a dominoe-effect of numerous other good things would follow. Abolish Free Trade.

Do you know yourself well enough to know if you would not succumb to intimidation? Immediately after Obama entered the WhiteHouse, I heard scuttlebutt, that he was quickly swarmed by Spooky BlackWorld types who intimidated, if not frightened, him into a NeoHawk mindset for the blackbudget-recieving defense industry. During their intelligence briefings to him. Which took place fairly soon. Would you fall for that? Would you cower in the presence of The Illuminatti? Just remember that scene where Luke skywalker told Yoda "I'm not afraid!" (And the master's reply.....)

I'm not talking about the bedroom. I'm talking about the LEGAL institution of marriage. Many FEDERAL rights and benefits are provided to married people. These same FEDERAL rights and benefits aren't offered to gay people. This is a federal issue on some levels.

But states could outlaw abortion? Even though the Constitution guarantees her privacy rights? Is that your stance?

No. I would not vote for you. You seem like a nice enough guy, but you have reactionary tendencies and are not a deep analytical thinker. This is not to say you are stupid, only that I never, ever see you make a really considered response to someone that indicates you have actually seriously considered their point of view.

Even treason requires a trial, you know that third branch of our government, however your gestapo squad doesn't fit that requirement.
Creating a 4th branch of government with execution powers certainly isn't constitutional. I would worry about a president who would want to execute elected members of congress for proposing legislation. The Supreme Court handles questions of constitutionality, not a gestapo squad that is nowhere in the US Constitution. So, by your own mandate, you would be calling for your own execution by establishing this gestapo squad.

Should the individual states have no say in education? Or domestic energy?
Do you really feel that we need specific federal oversight and regulators for things states could govern?

Answer: Yes.
That would be real change

The fact of the matter is you couldn't do anything, because even if you won you wouldn't be running the country, the military industrial complex would. Our political offices are just to distract people from the real problems, and who's really running the country. That and the MSM. Kennedy tried to defy the CIA.... and we all know what happened to him.
All the best,
Jacob
I am not even sure I will run yet.
