I can think of two criterion for a leader that I, a classical conservative, could follow:
1 - I might consider someone who will stand up at some public forum and declare that the various health care proposals now before the congress and the public are clearly
unconstitutional. There is nothing in the US Constitution that allows the federal government to control health care to the extent it does now, and it certainly does not support the partial/total takeovers proposed now. Sometimes I think that only my friend Tony the Libertarian and I have noticed (although
Mark Steyn came close earlier this month).
If someone knows of any qualified candidate, please let me know!
Update on Point One -- someone besides T the L and I noticed that the health care hostile takeover is unconstitutional. The
Heritage Foundation pointed it out on its blog last week. Finally.
