My fellow Atlas Republicans, it is no secret here that Democrats outweigh Republicans here. Several Democratic members have suggested that they would vote for me if I were the GOP nominee.

This weekend, when you nominate a member of our party, remember - we need someone who can beat Nym. SteveNichols is too far right to do just that.

May God bless the Atlas Forum.

First of all, radical is a totally relative term.  One man's radical is another man's moderate.

Secondly, how can you presume to know who is electable and who is not.  I've always thought that I can be a very effective spokesman for my beliefs.  Although I have strong convictions, I'm willing to listen to people, answer questions, and address concerns.  This makes me more electable than a centrist who's a terrible salesman.

But my main question is this:  Why do we have primary elections?  Is it to select the candidate with the best chance of winning, or is it to select the candidate who shares our vision for the world?  I envision a world in which individual human beings are treated with dignity, where his or her God-given rights will be cherished and protected.  Government exists for the protection of the individual human being and the promotion of liberty and order in society.  If government interferes with this vision of individual dignity, I say cut the size of government.  If individuals threaten the rights and dignity of other individuals, I say increase the size of government.  That's my vision.  It's not too far right.  It's just right.

You are right. I do not think you are to far right. I think you are one of the best candidates running.

I was teasing his spelling mistake (Presdient).

edit: Shucks, he removed the picture.  I liked it.

I'm not sure of the exact dates, but the republican convention isn't until the end of May.  Other than that I'm not sure.

I am sorry Mike, but I support WildCard for President. Good luck though.
