I have a voice: I want to share my beliefs about how the conservative movement and the Republican party can regain its footing, because we've lost our way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My goal has always been to figure out how we can advance the conservative cause.
I'm very much engaged in the political battles, but I'm doing it as a supporter of Republicans out of conservatism rather than an active candidate.
Don't get me wrong, I am a proud Republican, and I want to support my party. I am a firm believer in the Republican principles of smaller government, low taxes and economic freedom. I have spent my time in government service fighting for these principles.
You know some people are all about talk. I'm about results. Every victory, every conservative victory, I've had, I've had to bleed and fight to accomplish it, always adhering to our conservative principles, and refusing to take no for an answer.
I want to see a more collective style in how our party operates, in politics as a whole.
I'm very much engaged in the political battles. But I'm doing it as a supporter of Republicans... rather than as an active candidate.
I come by my conservatism authentically, not by convenience. And I offer the American people a new direction.
When it comes to conservative social issues, it saddens me when sometimes my fellow Republicans duck and cover in the face of pressure from the left. Our loudest opponents on the left are never going to like us so let's quit trying to curry favor with them.
The real truth is, I just want to keep the voice of dissent alive in all of our elections. I don't really want to hang out with politicians.
I still want to hold on to my beliefs, and as long as I have that, I won't stray too far from politics.
