The pursuit of happiness is part and parcel to property. I am still fuming over the SCOTUS decision on Kelo. How many ways to say wrong? I agree (as a former resident of the People's Republic of Maryland that adding DC residents to the voting bloc would be a good alternative to statehood. However, that would require a constitutional amendment as well, since their voting "rights" are outlined already. As for "calling on the carpet," I mean the proverbial Bully Pulpit. WJClinton was a master at it. "W" is not. We need a GOP president who can flatly state that dissent is fine, but when you undermine the efforts of those who are protecting our shores and our freedom, it borders on treason. At minimum it is criminal. Time to call it what it is. For example, when will <b>anyone</b> in Congress or government decry the wanton vandalism of our military facilities and monuments? BlackTygrrrrrrrrrrr, good to see you back in action. Michelle, keep up the good work! GaijinBob,

Will you appoint judges who will protect Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness?</blockquote>Make that Life, Liberty, and <a href="http://www.ij.org/private_property/connecticut/" rel="nofollow">PROPERTY</a>. <blockquote>7. Will you push for legislation that removes voting rights of those on the public dole?</blockquote>Would be nice (Tocqueville warned us against giving people or congress the power to vote themselves money), but not constitutional. The best we could hope for is an end-run around the Dhimmicrats and give D.C. residents the right to vote in Maryland state elections in lieu of separate statehood rights and representatives. <blockquote>10. Will you call on the carpet those who undermine the US in its quest to protect its citizens (Rosie, Sheehan, certain Democrats in Congress)?</blockquote>A president has no more business than a Senator to call on the carpet any <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,298858,00.html" rel="nofollow">private citizen</a> who is expressing their opinion. (That's MM's job! :) ) ACH,

Make that Life, Liberty, and PROPERTY.

10. Will you call on the carpet those who undermine the US in its quest to protect its citizens (Rosie, Sheehan, certain Democrats in Congress)?

A president has no more business than a Senator to call on the carpet any private citizen who is expressing their opinion. (That’s MM’s job! :) )

Giuliani, McCain, Romney and Thompson were all there, as well as Sam Brownback and several Senators. I asked Senator Thompson the following... "I am a republican blogger who understands that with freedom of the press comes responsibility. Are you willing to enforce the Bush Doctrine of cracking down on anybody that aids or harbors terrorists, even if it is our own cultural institutions? Specifically, our poison ivy league universities have Tea with Mussolini and Columbian Coffee with Armageddonijad, and our troops get killed when their cover is blown by the Jayson Blair Times. How will you, being a member of the media yourself, balance freedom of speech with keeping those who abuse those freedoms from getting our soldiers killed, and inviting terrorists on our universities when they should be at Guantanamo Bay?" I spoke quickly to make the quesiton not seem long, and his answer was FABULOUS! He hit a home run, and I want all the candidates to answer that question. I will publish his answer tomorrow or Friday, or one can go to the RJC podcast to see how he responded.

I don't think even Reagan was optimistic enough to claim such a goal. Yet Reagan was far more successful with an opposition congress. I think it's not just the charm, the optimism, the faith; I think it's also the gumballs, and W simply is no RR.

He reached out and passed a Ted Kennedy education bill. He made the first gesture but the left is still so angry about everything. The Randi Rhodes episode is a perfect example of that.

Would you be willing to include nuclear technology in that plan?

Would, in your opinion, new clean and robust energy technology effectively undercut the public rationales professed in the current nuclear proliferation crisis? While Reagan self-comparisons seem de-rigeur in this primary; do you have a broader "now" based concept of how you will convince Americans that you are the best man to lead and guide America in this day and age? Do you believe conservatism must be hyphenated, that it must be qualified to be acceptable to American voters? We've seen the extremes of poll-driven governance in the 90's to the bunkhouse mentality of the Administration in this decade; what is your vision of an effective American president's continuing conversation with the public?
