Election 2018: Michael Snyder is a real conservative running for Congress in Idaho

in #election20186 years ago (edited)

Background:

Michael Snyder is one of the most popular conservative authors in America. He is the author of four books, he has been a frequent guest on major radio and television shows all over the nation, and his websites have been viewed more than 100 million times. Michael's articles are also republished on dozens of other major websites, and this includes some of the biggest alternative news websites on the entire planet.

Throughout his life, Michael has been known as a fighter for conservative causes. As a ten-year-old child he was deeply affected by Ronald Reagan’s election victory in 1980, and he has been a very strong conservative ever since. He knows what it is like to stand outside on winter mornings protesting abortion clinics in the freezing cold, and he has personally participated in the March for Life in Washington. Michael is not just another politician that uses the “Pro-Life” label to get votes. He has been a Pro-Life warrior for decades, and today his articles about abortion are some of the most widely read on the Internet.

Michael is also known as an extremely vigorous advocate for freedom and liberty. Michael considers Ron Paul and Rand Paul to be two of his role models, and like them Michael wants a federal government that is much more limited in size and scope. Michael wants to transfer as much power back to the state governments and the people as possible, and he believes that Idaho would be much better off if the federal government would just leave us alone.

Michael is also a man of very deep faith. He is a Bible-believing Christian that has ministered all over the country, and his personal relationship with Jesus Christ is at the very core of everything that he does and everything that he is. Many politicians are very hesitant to talk about their faith, but Michael is not ashamed to say that there is no hope for this nation unless we turn back to God.

-Who is Michael Snyder?

Issues:



BOISE – An open seat in Congress, as Rep. Raul Labrador steps down to run for governor, has drawn a whopping 10 candidates to the primary election ballot – and poses a big challenge for Idaho voters as they prepare to make their picks on May 15.

The top contenders are Russ Fulcher a state Senator, David Leroy former state Attorney General, Luke Malek a state Representative and Michael Synder a conservative blogger and author. There's more candidates in the race but these are the one's that have raised more than $100,000 in the primary.

Here’s what each candidate said are his or her top issues and positions on them:

SNYDER: Didn’t respond

On his campaign website, Snyder says he wants “a government so small that I can barely see it” and says he wants to “flush the toilet” on corruption in Congress.

The Spokesman-Review asked all seven GOP candidates what they think distinguishes them from their pack of opponents; here are their answers:

SNYDER: No response. During the debate, he claimed to be the earliest supporter of Donald Trump for president among the group, though he didn’t cast a vote in Idaho’s March 2016 presidential primary, saying he was traveling at the time.

Ok so this website is kind of shit. I looked for others that had more response from Synder but I couldn't find any decent site. So I had to watch the debate for his responses.

http://www.pbs.org/video/republican-congressional-district-1-2018-primary-wdm891/

In Snyder's openning remarks he throws all the other candidates under the bus by saying he was a very early supporter of Donald Trump in 2016 and all the other candidates on stage were initially in favor of Trump opponents.

Synder says he was a supporter of Trump before he even stepped in the race and was talking about the same issues Trump was talking about at the time like building a wall and imbalanced trade with China so he jumped on the Trump train very early while Snyder's opponents were opposing him.

So Synder's main message in his opening remarks is he's the real Trump supporter in the group and the rest are faking it.

Question: What's your plan for representing Idaho in Congress.

Synder says he's going to congress to turn it upside down and shake things up. He thinks congress has done a really poor job in serving the people and wants to go to Washington to expose the corruption and confront the Republican leadership.

Balanced budget amendment.

Synder is opposed to running up the debit to fund the government. He compares it to stealing from our children and our grandchildren's future.

Do we need a wall on southern border?

Synder says we need a wall because of the Drugs, human trafficking and terrorist coming up from Mexico. He also says we need to reform the immigration process as well because it's full of red tape.

Environmental issues.

Synder says no where in the constitution does it say the federal government has a right to control state land. He's clearly not in favor of the federal government regulating and managing land inside the states.

I can see why these other websites are not talking about the points Synder bring up in the debate because they fall in line with a lot of Trump's own ideas, real conservative ideas on how the federal government should spend money and
how the government should follow the constitution.

I personally think that Snyder would make an ideal congressman he is hands down the expert on the economy in this group and I've been reading his stories and watching his interviews for years now. Snyder has demonstrated through his writings that he's capable at tackling tough issues like government spending and I believe he would be only candidate to oppose growing the national debt.

The primary is May 15th so all you guys in Idaho's first district should watch this latest debate and consider Michael Snyder for Congress because we don't need more "yes men" politicians in Washington.

I think Michael is a good choice, I have followed his blog - 'The Economic Collapse' for some time. He has some very astute points. Although I don't agree with all of them, I do agree with the majority of them.

Thank you for your support.

No Problem. Thanks for sharing it with us all.

I too have noticed the extra "stuff" in tap water after you boil off all the water.

You have always been one of the most awake people here and it has never been lost on me, I have not said it to you for months and months but it is fact.

I do not have the time to read and curate etc and be on here 12 hours a day any more with what the state is doing to me, and my injuries etc.

They just hate my activism so much and want to ruin me.

Again, not a shock to you LOL

Take care friend.
