Today, March 1st, 2015, there is a The New York Times headline that the Republican Presidential candidate journey to the White House starts in the parlors seeking donations from rich donors.
Bad Idea. The best Republican is a Ted Cruz/Reaganite, true blue Conservative. She or he, black or white or any color, must educate the voters by a direct appeal to their better instincts, urging them to support a straight conservative agenda, period.
These candidates must reform from the bottom up, training each voter with high information, the plain truth, a realistic but positive vision for the future that restores capitalism, small government, a strong military, small government, the rule of law, and constitutional republicanism.
They should teach the Aristotelian ideal that an ethical citizen has a public life in politics, as voter or candidate or both. The Ramsey ideal is for each very participating voter to be an individuator and supercitizen too.
Then billions of mind-control, mob- swaying dollars, hurled by people-haters at the politicians and media, from super-intellectual elitists, statists and pseudo-intellectuals that despise and seek to rule the masses, won't much matter.
Candidates should still go after the dollars, but only after their principled, transparent platform of ideas that they will seek to implement is made public and adhered too.
This is where campaigns for the Presidency must be launched.
