If you listen to the political pundits and experts, the safe road for any candidate is to focus on policy.  Keep the message simple:  Obama’s policies have failed and ours will succeed.  Unfortunately, this advice ignores the fact that the American people desire substance and clear leadership.  The core issue is not and cannot be about the obvious fact of failed policy but rather the core beliefs behind those policies.  Why are faulty policies still being promoted?  This election must center upon core beliefs about what America was intended to be and what America will be.  While economic concerns are in focus, you cannot separate social issues from the debate.  Social issue are and have long been the reason for our current economic situation.  I believe the American people are ready to cure the disease and not simply treat the symptoms.

The “experts” are quick to point out that Jared Blankenship has no political experience.  I have no first hand knowledge of how the process of government works in Washington D.C.  They are correct on both points and I must thank them for their unwitting endorsement.  Neither I nor the average American citizen cares how Washington works or what the conventional process of government may be.  We are done with “normal” government at work.  We want Constitutional government at work.  I hope those individuals will continue to shed light upon my “lack of political experience”, for that is my greatest asset.  Think outside the box and keep spreading the word.  “A little leaven leaveneth the whole”.

Does anyone see any sign of leadership in America?  We will soon be operating once again on continuing resolution to fund government, and we are no closer to a real budget than we were 2 years ago.  Most reasonable Americans have accepted the fact that we are “broke” and we must do what every American family must do in this circumstance:  cut everywhere.  Rather than spend the next 6 months debating whereto cut the budget, why not implement cuts in every area of the Federal budget to gain immediate progress.  You know the answer as well as I do.  Washington is still playing politics.  Our representatives still refuse to act like adults.  Each side is still positioning themselves to blame the other for the results.  The American voter already knows who is to blame:  career politicians scamming for votes.
