Good to be with -- always well let's start with the debate.
I Nebraska each of our guest tonight I'll let me ask you did anyone corporate the support of conservatives in the debate.
Last week.
Now -- ended three debates we've had so far.
It's been there alone even sometimes.
One person's been up the other is person has been down there and they reverse the rules.
Right now -- debates.
You know haven't shown as a whole lot probably.
Except I think governor Rick Perry has.
And hasn't brought his a game to the table -- he's quite capable of doing that.
Conservatives are looking for two things in the one they want any opportunity not just conservative Republican primary voters -- looking for someone -- a certified concerted.
One -- to someone who can beat Obama's.
In November of next year.
And so vast that challenge just some of them can pass one test -- -- but they have a demonstrated yet they had the ability to meet Obama.
And roundly condemn sort of beat Obama but -- not certainly not convince voters that he's a conservative.
I and has -- convinced you.
Not not at all not -- I have about what I call -- vagaries foolproof test.
Do you determine if someone is a conservative I don't care about -- speech is you know their position papers or whatever.
But tell me who you walk with -- tell you who you are and for the last 1520 years.
Mitt Romney has not walked with conservatives I don't know a single conservative around.
Romney so why is it -- we should we expect that He becomes president that He would bring conservatives into the White House and as we know.
Personnel is policy if we don't have conservatives in the White House we're not going to see our policies.
Advanced.
There are Richard -- -- about the fool -- policy I was kind of applying a standard of myself and I try and I think and some of the I think some of the folks I've -- group over the course of Mark Hurd.
I've got I've I think I may be an exception to your rule whether -- -- it's it's a -- -- -- -- Let's -- -- -- live by the way that I asked.
The governor Romney that very question when He was running in 2008.
And He kind of blew it off been talking about.
You know you gotta bring competent people at -- we were at a large -- went around around asking various people what they're issue was.
We came to -- -- -- all due respect to my friends are governor they're all wrong because there's only one issue that's really important and that's personnel.
Personnel and there was let's turn to one other aspect of I wanna ask you about this because -- you've co authored pamphlet entitled.
Of a law that -- government reclaiming the constitution constitutional issues are critical to this I think at least critical to the selection or should be.
Is society's biggest law breaker tell us through in your judgment that is -- just very short time but -- -- thoughts.
Well it it may come as a shock to to most people.
But the number one law breaker in America so much so that no one's in second third fourth place.
Is the government the government at the federal state and local level I was just looking at a trailer.
A few minutes ago -- and this station there limited talked about senator Grassley said Obama is violating the law I mean we just see it.
Every day in many many ways and so if people want to learn more about how the government is an -- -- law breaker in the country and how we need to get back to reclaim the constitution.
As the government the law that governs government.
Go to reclaim.
The constitution dot com and we spell -- out there to sixty page document that -- could have a significant influence on this year's election and that is a web address you but I can remember reclaim read Greek accounts and your constitution dot com dot com.
Alright Richard is always good to have you with us.
