The three Ts for candidates

Lex has broken through all the fog of presidential politics with the three big Ts. In order of importance they are:

Terrorism. Islamo-terror-fascists want to, as my man Fred Thompson has said, see a mushroom cloud over a US city. Short of that they will be happy to kill us in what ever numbers they can. And when I say “us,” I mean any and all of “us.” From a day old baby laying in a hospital bed to 90 something year old laying in a nursing home bed; from the most devout among us to those who have no religion to those don’t believe in God; Male, female or transgender (still don’t get that one); hetro, homo or bi makes no difference; skin color makes not one whit of difference; Conservative, Liberal, Moderate, Republican, Democrat or Independent; none of it matters to these homicidal maniacs. They want to kill us…any and all of us.

The candidate has to understand this one. If the candidate doesn’t get this one right, nothing else is really going to matter.

Territory. First and foremost this means enforcing our borders and enforcing our laws. Secondarily, this means using the resources provided by our territory to break our dependence on foreign oil.

Taxes. Taxes need to be kept low to keep the economy from tanking. If the economy goes, we’ll have a more isolationist mentality which will distract us from our primary goal – defeating the Islamo-terror-fascists.

Many of you are asking about that Conservative mainstay abortion. First, it doesn’t start with a T. Next, even if the Supreme Court overturned Roe today, little in the US would change with regard to abortion. That’s a nasty little secret the Libs don’t want you to know. Red states would restrict it a bit and blue states would…well what’s left to be done in blue states? Require abortion I guess. But the issue would fall to the state legislatures and as a result to the voters rather than the court and Libs can’t have that.

Tomorrow, how the candidates stack up against the three Ts.
