The Politicians We Can Trust

[tbone717]

Reading through this thread I see one glaring problem. You are focusing solely on who votes with RP 100% of the time essentially. By doing so, you are holding everyone up to a standard that is nearly impossible to reach, and by doing so you fail to see the bigger picture.

Politics is about building coalitions around specific pieces of legislation. So when you look at the major issues that face us today, you can build coaltions with like-minded people on specific issues at hand. For example, when it comes to economic policies there are many people that vote the way we would want them to vote. For FP issues, there is another group. For civil liberty issues, there is another group.

If you whittle a list down with such a narrow definition of "who can we trust" you are going to eventually arrive at the conclusion that no one can be trusted, and you will withdraw yourself from the process. However, if you look at the big picture you can see that there are many people who we can work with and advance our issues if we don't become so hyper fixated on everyone being 100% pure on 100% of the issues.

I disagree, and so far this thread has shown that there is a handful of guys that we can trust. Hopefully in the near future more can be added. This should be a sticky.

You might want to take a look at Bob Fanning, a candidate for Governor of Montana. I know him personally, he is smart and committed to freedom. He wants to kick the Feds back to their Ten Square Mile Constitutionally chartered territory. He wants the people of Montana to decide Montana's future. He is a strong supporter of Ron Paul, a Constitutionalist, a member of Oath Keepers, and a man who supports sound money and the Constitutional Militia.

No it is about weeding out the politicians that actually care about us from the NWO puppets.

Thank you. After the elections I will be looking into all the new politicians.

And that is because I don't know how to filter the Governors any further. I doubt all 5 can be trusted.

We wanted Governor Bentley to fight it, but he didn't. And there is the whole supporting Santorum thing...

I'm not saying that you should remove him from the list; he hasn't done a whole lot thus far, but this is a bad omen.

I agree. I'll keep an eye on him. Thank you.

Paul Broun should be added to this list. He's a Constitutionalist who votes "no" with Ron when all the other house members vote "yes."

Tom Graves from GA is also good.

No one else from GA deserves to be mentioned.
