THIS is a potential GOP Presidential Candidate who could win the Presidency…if he will get in the race!

He is a candidate that every freedom-lover—and every Ron Paul supporter—should be urging to get into the GOP primary race. Here he is on the issues:  

  • On economics: "I love von Mises. When I go on vacation and I lay on the beach, I bring von Mises."
  • On the Troubled Asset Relief Program ("TARP"): Congress "just gave the Treasury [an unconstitutional] $700 billion blank check."
  • On the U.S. Constitution: "The Constitution is government’s stop sign. It says you—the three branches of government—can go so far and no farther. With TARP, the government blew through the Constitutional stop sign."
  • On the Chrysler bailout and screwing the bondholders: "We essentially watched over 100 years of bankruptcy law thrown out the window. President Obama eviscerated the private property interests of the secured creditors. He called them ‘greedy’ for enforcing their own legal rights."
  • On the Federal Reserve flooding the world with printed money: "What has gotten us into deep trouble and has people so perturbed is the debasing of the currency."
  • On Obama entering yet another war in the Mideast: "I was opposed to the U.S. involvement in Libya from the very start. President Obama has never made a compelling national security case on Libya."
  • On the failure of government schools and getting into politics: "The kids were coloring posters in 11th grade algebra class. I decided to do my duty, go to the Republican convention…and gave a five-minute speech on freedom, economic liberty, and all the rest. And no one could believe it, but I won a supermajority on the first ballot."
  • On federal taxes: "In my perfect world, we’d take the 35% corporate tax down to nine so that we’re the most competitive in the industrialized world. Zero out capital gains. Zero out the alternative minimum tax. Zero out the death tax."
  • On the income tax: "I love the FAIR tax. If we were starting over from scratch, I would favor a national sales tax." BUT…the federal income tax must be Constitutionally repealed; otherwise "we would end up with a dual tax, a national sales tax and an income tax."
  • On energy issues: "We need an America-centered energy policy [based on] drilling and mining for our rich resources here."
  • On Obamacare: "You cannot have a pro-growth economy and advise, simultaneously, socialized medicine."
  • On the looming economic crash: "People realize the crisis we face isn’t in 25 years or even 10 years off. It is right now."

Who is this man who articulates the same positions as Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, Ron Paul, Sarah Palin, and other conservative leaders…one who could win the Presidency, IF he got into the race?

I’ll tell you who….
