So Vital!

Posted on Friday, April 16, 2010 in Issues, Opinion, Political campaign

Everyone knows the definition of an honest politician – one who stays bought.

I’m running for governor primarily to make a big deal about an issue no democratic or republican party candidate would dare mention – getting money COMPLETELY out of our politics.

No other issue is so vital to the health and quality of government.

What is needed in government is a commitment to work for the public good above special interests. That’s not what we have.  EVERY illness in our body politic stems from this one root-cause.  I intend to stop it in its tracks by Executive Order. No more bribes, no more gifts, no more favoritism for those seeking or holding office.

Candidates for public office can publish their resumes and beliefs in an expanded voter’s guide. Nothing else is needed. The best IDEAS for improving society should determine our votes, not the advertising agencies that sell us candidates like they sell us soap.

We don’t allow those who judge our laws to be conflicted by money.  The same should hold true for those who make and enforce our laws.

    So we agree….

    “The more corrupt the state, the more it legislates.” – Tacitus

  2. I tend to agree with what you post here, but in this case I must say that I do not share your views.

    More on Tacitus…
    A Roman orator and public official, probably the greatest historian and one of the greatest prose styles who wrote in the Latin language. Among his works are the Germania, describing the Germanic tribes, the Historiae (Histories), concerning the Roman Empire from 69-96 AD, and the later Annals, dealing with the empire in the period from 14-68 AD.

    Tacitus also wrote extensively on the treatment of Christians by Nero. Much of what he wrote was burned by democrats, I mean Nero’s fanatical Sycophant followers, very similar actually… Mr. Wilson,
    if you were a ruler during the Imperial period, what Roman emperor would you fashion yourself after?

  5. Ski Daddy says:

    Marcus Aurelius Augustus ruled 161-180 AD
    permitted free speech, evinced by the fact that comedy writer Marullus was able to criticize him without suffering retribution. At any other time, under any other emperor, he would have been executed.

      I can’t even get the press to criticize me. If I get my way about getting money out of politics they’ll lose millions in ad revenue…so comprehend their self-interest in ignoring me. Ad rates go for top-dollar during elections.
