What does Hastert gain by endorsing Romney? Or rather, how did Romney pull this? Is Hastert still searching for that Ambassador to Japan slot?

I endorse John Cox for President. The only real Republican running for President.

And who are you Colton? Tell us about yourself and why you’re endorsing John H. Cox – it’d really like to know why he’s the guy for you. Either post it here in the comments or use the tip line.

I am a younger American. For many years I have sat back and watched politics from the sidelines. This will be the first Presidential electio I will have the right to vote in.

When I look at the list of names in the GOP Race, John Cox is the real Conservative of the race. He 100% Pro-life and Pro-family.

He is a political outsider, which frankly is (in my opinion) is a strong point. There is no chance of Government corruption with John Cox.

As a CPA and investment professional, he understands the mess our nation’s tax and social security systems is in. He believes we need to get rid of the IRS with a Fair Tax and bring needed reform to Social Security.

There is doubt in my mind that John Cox could be in congress right now, but he lives in Chicago which there he has no chance to win anything.

John is running for the everyday person who is fed up with corruption, mud-slinging and patrician politics.

Here is my slogan for the campaign,
“John Cox is a Career Leader, Not a Career Politician”

Of course he’s not a career politician. You have to be elected to office to be a career politician.

Something to say?
