Here is another presidential candidate for you to consider if you are as displeased as I am with Hillary, Obama, and McCain.
Donald Grundman believes that all abortions should be illegal. Grundman did vote in favor of disaffiliating the Nevada Independent Party from the Constitution Party after they ran candidates who believed that abortion should be legal in cases of rape and incest.
He believes that the gay agenda, anti-discimination laws, and gay marriage are wrong. On the Project Vote Smart candidate survey he said he supports a constitutional amendment to define marriage as between a man and a woman. But this was a 2006 survey and from what he says on his website, I think he has changed his position on the Federal Marriage Amendment, saying that it is not the right way to go about stopping gay marriage.
He supports the right of citizens to keep and bear arms.
He would eliminate education from the federal budget. He would eliminate the Department of Education, promote homeschooling and return control of public schools to state and local governments.
He would eliminate inheritance taxes. He would increase alcohol, tobacco, and corporate taxes.
He said he would “begin [a] gradual elimination of Social Security System.”
Concerning vaccines he says:
Ban all vaccinations of children until complete and verified safety and effectiveness studies have been performed. Initiate studies of the connection between vaccination and long-term disease development.
His top three priorities are:
1. Eliminate Federal Reserve system;
2. Eliminate IRS
3. Repeal NAFTA (the North American Fraud and Theft Agreement), CAFTA (the Central American Freedom Threat Arrangement), and GATT (the Global Agreement on Treason and Tyranny).
Grundman is also against the U.S. membership in the WTO (the World Treachery Organization) and believes that NATO should be dismantled. He believes that the U.S. should get out of the U.N. He believes that global warming is a fraud and a hoax.
Grundman has a protectionist philosophy. This means that he is in favor of high tariffs on imports into the United States, not just for the purpose of raising federal revenues (as opposed to the IRS), but for the purpose of discouraging purchases of foreign goods so as to protect the jobs (especially manufacturing) of American workers. He believes that the tariff rates should partially be tied to a nation’s human rights record. He believes that manufacturing corporations should face severe tax penalties for outsourcing American jobs.
He would stop all immigration at this time, deport all illegal aliens, and seal the Mexican border.
He believes that the going to war in Iraq was wrong. He believes that the United States should begin a phased withdraw its troops from Iraq, but the Iraq government must be stabilized first. He believes that the United States should use military force to dismantle the North Korean nuclear weapons program, but not remove the North Korean government from power. Grundman answered “yes” to this question: “Do you support a policy of pre-emptive military strikes against countries deemed to be a threat to U.S. national security?”
Typical of Constitution and Libertarian Party candidates, Grundman is a civil libertarian. This means he is concerned with people’s rights against government intrusions with respect to illegal searches and seizures, domestic spying, and the right to a fair trial (by jury). He would repeal the Patriot Act.
In conclusion, I don’t like how he answered the question about pre-emptive strikes and I don’t think we can ever stabilize the Iraq government. But this was stated on a 2006 candidate survey, and he may have changed his position since then. Out of all the third party candidates that I have written about in this series, what Grundman says is just about the closest to what I believe.
