With the state covered under almost two feet of snow, Kansas' senior senator announced his candidacy for the the Presidency of the United States in the Topeka Agriculture Expo Hall. A fitting choice of venue for the man whose family has farmed in this state for four generations and who himself was once the state's agriculture secretary.
The theme that jumped out of the announcement was pure Ronald Reagan: America is great because she is good, and not the other way around. When she ceases to be good, she will no longer remain for wrong. It is this good in the heart of America which Sam Brownback wants to harness to make ours a society that secures itself, protects the helpless, feeds the hungry, eradicates 'Killer Cancer', dumps the Internal Revenue Code in the dustbin, and gives the world another reason for Hope.
Arrayed against this humble effort are the billion dollar juggernauts of limo liberalism (Giuliani), foolhardy opportunism (McCain), and multiple choice Boston Brahminism (Romney).
Will my candidate make the cut for the Republican nomination? I do not know. What I do hope is that he lives up to the belief that Churchill had that 'somethings in life are worth fighting for, no matter what the chances of immediate success.'
So here we begin in snowy Topeka, Kansas..in the heartland of America. I am one of those rational, coldly calculating people in placing political bets (what else do you expect from someone who used to do risk management for banks). This time, I make an exception. This is too GOOD of a man to ignore, and I shall stand by his campaign until he becomes President of the United States or withdraws from the race.
Let's Roll!!!!!!!!
