    Sean Hannity for president

    Sean Hannity is an American radio/television host, author, and conservative political commentator. He first gained national recognition as co-host of Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes. In addition to that show, he currently hosts the radio show, The Sean Hannity Show, as well as another show on Fox News Channel; Hannity's America. He is also the author of two New York Times best selling books. Hannity's radio and television shows draw praise from conservative politicians: "He has a great personality, and the tone counts for a lot," said Texas Sen. John Cornyn. "He's willing to ask questions and challenge the assumptions that many in the mainstream news media are not." He also has been vocally critical of and has drawn criticism from progressive and liberal groups such as Media Matters for America.

    He believes we should.
    1. Enforce the borders and other immigration laws on the books.
    2. Reduce the role of government in education
    3. Reduce overall spending, balance the budget, etc.
    4. Say No to judges like Harriet Meiers
    5. Forbid the Dubai Ports Deal
    Now, we don't want to make the good an enemy of the perfect. "Perfect" conservatives do not run and we understand Reagan's campaigns are not repeatable. But they are inspirational. George Bush was the best conservative we could have hoped for in 2000 and in many aspects of his presidency exceeded expectations but in many others it failed to live up to its promises.

    Hannity's Top 10 Items for Victory are

    1) To be the Candidate of National security:
    a) Victory in Iraq
    b) Fully support NSA, Patriot act, tough interrogations, keeping Gitmo open
    c) A Candidate that pledges to NOT demean our military while they are fighting for their Country. eg Harry Reid: "the surge has failed", "the war is lost"
    d) Candidate that promises to ensure that our veterans can live out their lives in dignity.
    2) The Candidate who pledges to oppose Appeasement:
    a) The Candidate will oppose any and all efforts to negotiate with dictators of the world in places like Iran, Syria, N.Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela without "pre-conditions"
    3) The Candidate Pledges to support Tax CUTS, and fiscal responsibility:
    a) The American people are NOT under taxed, Government Spends too much
    b) The Candidate who Pledges to ELIMINATE and VOTE AGAINST ALL Earmarks
    c) The Candidate pledges to BALANCE the budget
    4) The Candidate Pledges to be a supporter of "Energy Independence"
    a) supports Immediate drilling in Anwar and the 48 states
    b) Building new refineries
    c) Begin building and using Nuclear Facilities
    d) expand coal mining
    e) realistic steward of the environment
    While simultaneously working with private industry to develop the new energy technologies for the future, with the goal being that America becomes completely energy independent within the next 15 years.
    5) The Candidate pledges to secure our borders completely within 12 months:
    a) build all necessary fences
    b) use all available technology to help and support agents at the border
    c) train and hire agents as needed
    6) Healthcare:
    The Candidate will look for Free-Market solutions to the problems facing the Healthcare industry, and will vigorously oppose any efforts to "nationalize healthcare".
    a) The Candidate will fight for Individual health savings accounts, that includes "catastrophic insurance" for every American, so people can control their own healthcare choices.
    7) Education:
    a) The Candidate pledges to "save" American children from the failing educational system
    b) The Candidate will fight to break the unholy alliance of the Democratic party and teachers unions, which at best has institutionalized mediocrity, and has failed children across the country
    c) fight for "CHOICE" in education and let parents decide
    d) fight for vouchers for parents
    8) Social Security and Medicare:
    a) The Candidate will "save" social security and medicare from bankruptcy.
    b) Options will include "private retirement" funds so people can "control" their own destiny.
    9) Judges
    a) The Candidate vows to support ONLY judges who recognize that their job is to interpret the Constitution, and NOT legislate from the bench.
    10) American Dream:
    The Candidate accepts as their duty and responsibility to educate, inform, and remind people that with the blessings of Freedom comes a Great responsibility. That Government's primary goal is to preserve, protect and defend our God given gift of freedom.
    That Government's do not have the ability to solve all of our problems, and to take away all of our fears and concerns. We need their pledge that we will be the candidate that promotes Individual liberty, Capitalism, a strong national defense and will support policies that encourage such...
    It is our fundamental belief that limited Government, and Greater individual responsibility will insure the continued prosperity and success for future generations.

    I think those 10 points are exactly right! What I disagree with Sean on is our politician’s ability and determination to enact these changes so I propose we draft the man who we think can and will do it. Sean Hannity!!!!!! Write him in as president. Write in Dave Ramsey for vice president then tell them to man up and take the job or quit complaining.
