Rarely does the New York Times hit the nail on the head, but just as a stopped clock is right twice a day, a recent Times/CBS poll confirmed that most Republicans (76 percent) don't know what to make of the party's candidates for president. Count me among them.
In judging among candidates, my checklist is short: commitment to low tax rates and balanced budgets, unwavering on national security and reliable to appoint judges who adhere to the plain language of the Constitution. |

TO REMEMBER |
Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
