I know it’s early on, and I know a lot of other candidates are getting most of the press right now, but based on this foreign policy speech, I’m going to have to take a closer look at Carly Fiorina.
Tyrants know that our patriotism, our principles, and our policies enable us to be a leader on the global stage. Today, Americans sense danger at home and abroad. People all over the world know the fundamentals of freedom and human dignity are threatened. And when we abandon an ally or embolden an adversary, it reverberates throughout the world, and as we tragically know, those ripples can too easily land on our shores.
We need a President who will see and speak and act on the truth. We need a President who knows that some things are black and white and who will be a clear-eyed advocate for policies formed by principles, not by polls and politics. We need a President who will reassure our allies that we are a friend who can be trusted and who will show our adversaries that we will not be bullied or intimidated.
We must nominate and elect a president who proudly accepts the mantel of leadership that a weary world is eager for us to wear.
We’ve tried not leading for nearly eight years now. I see nothing that suggests the world is a safer place for it. I think it’s time we changed direction.
She has piqued my interest as well. I wasn’t too impressed last time she played at being a presidential candidate. I forget the specifics, but this time she seems to be doing a better job … in my view.
Oh, don’t tease me! A politician who might actually be capable of learning from experience?! Too good to be true!
She DOES have my interest this go round.
… so far …
Ahhhh, but you’d ruin trump’s dream of his own little world fiefdom. 😉
And I’m amazingly okay with that. 😉 Interesting guy, and it’s somewhat refreshing to see a candidate say what they think instead of carefully crafting their message so that we have to elect them to know what’s in them. It’s almost enough to tempt one to ignore how bizarre those beliefs may be. But I have a hard time believing he could back up the car and act presidential after he’s in office.
Yeah, I am forced to agree with you.
