After some thought regarding our government and current political system, I wonder if it would be possible to have a candidate that stood for the Principles of freedom as defined by the declaration of Independence and the Constitution and Not one that is issue based at all. For example, If a reporter asked "Where do you stand on the issue of Abortion?" the response would be "I stand for the Principle that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life..." If Asked about health care the reply would be "At no time should our government step outside its mission to "form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity." Any Government program that is not directly related to or apposes these principles should be dissolved or never considered. Health care should never be considered. Additionally, the phrase "Promote General Welfare" was a limitation placed on the government not to tax or support or make any program that would diminish the safety and well being of the people. NOT the excuse to have a free range of powers not numerated in the constitution. See words to this affect by one of the founders James Madison to James Robertson dated April 20, 1831.
Would you vote for a politician who took only stands on Principles of Freedom? And Refused to address "issues" designed to divide people and parties?
