John Cox Visits WLMW
Thursday, January 4, 2007 at 04:42AM Got a chance Wednesday to interview Presidential Candidate, John Cox, on WLMW 90.7 FM, our NH Taxpayer Radio program.
We did a live one hour broadcast today at 3 pm and recorded it on DAT and CD for replay at our normal broadcast time of 6-8 pm on Thursday nights - going on almost five years now.
Our NH Taxpayer radio program is two hours long with one five minute news break for American Family Radio News at the top of the second hour. This leaves a lot of time to talk with any person appearing on our show.
Candidate John Cox is a good fit for our station as well as a well-rounded candidate for President here in our New Hampshire Primary.
A short description of John Cox:
Republican from Illinois but NOT a Washington insider.
Successful businessman with accountant experience. So he has actually met a payroll, dealt with the IRS, manufacturing regulations, employee insurance, etc. These would be activities that quickly reveal how oppressive government can be to business owners.
John Cox served on a parochial school board, and was president of the board for some time - when he was 27. This has certainly instilled in him the need for choice in education as well as a healthy suspicion of any Federal involvement in education.
100% pro-life.
He believes we should protect our borders by effective means such as enforcing laws regarding hiring illegal aliens. A series of fences in high traffic areas to deter illegal immigration. All borders should be protected as well, not just the southern border.
A continued war on terror with effective economic sanctions and military as a last resort.
John Cox describes himself as a Reagan Republican.
He has opened an office right over the Merrimack Restaurant in Manchester.
Wait! Wasn't that the HQ of Pat Buchanan?
As a conservative I was pleased with all his answers and positions. But this point he made stuck out the most.
When I asked him how as an outsider he would cope with the Washington Establishment he said he would make his case to the people.
Can't go wrong there.
Welcome to the NH Primary John Cox.

I don't know exactly what he would do with the "homeless children" any more than you know where the 40 million little bodies are buried from our new "constitutional right."
But the "homeless" children still have a chance for a better life.
John Cox was raised by a single mom.
Does that answer your question?
No offense Ed, but the guy doesn't seem qualified.
John Cox will surround himself with the best people in the White House, and he is the only true conservative running.
First of all, most Presidents come from the ranks of Governors. I believe many have been elected governor who do not have political pedigrees.
He is certainly more qualified than:
Rep. William Jefferson
Rep. Jack Murtha
Rep. Alcee Hastings
Rep. Barney Frank
Rep. Patrick Kennedy
Rep. John Conyers
Sen. Ted Kennedy (sober or not)
Sen. Robert Byrd (sheets or not)
And certainly he has more credentials to be President than Carol Shea-Porter-Swett does to be a school board member.
Sorry. Its true
And also by your logic, shouldn't he be running for Governor? Or at least follow in Carol's footsteps and run for Congress.
In any case though, I wish your guy good luck in the primaries.
Go check out C-Span and see for yourself.
"Carol" has plunked herself down in front of the cameras and is wearing out her smirk muscles as some bald Mass. legislator delivers delivers one condescending slap at the Republicans after another which plays well down in Mass.
She is a real class act.
Glad she is your responsibility.
What, I hit a nerve just by stating the obvious?
She-Pot puts a smirking/scary face on liberals. She is showing she unqualified by demeanor alone to be in Congress let alone any other elected office.
Do you think it politically wise to plant yourself in fron of the cameras on your first day and act like a smirking/giggling fool? Or is ist a glimpse into what we have in store from your girl. I hope so.
I find it laughable that liberals would comment about anyone else's qualifications when liberals are the biggest collection of crooks that have ever held office and continue to with huge re-election numbers. As I have pointed out before.
She-Pot gave us quite a display last night on C-Span.
Here is a little research for liberals:
Saul Alinsky #5 I believe is the correct number.
Get used to it. It is YOUR TURN.
If an idiot like Porter can get elected, anything can happen, although for president, I do believe unless they belong to the 'club of Rome', they would never be allowed to win...
Now you know what the other side has been seeing for 12 years. Welcome to politics.
Feel proud though, you've been able to hold out a few hours without whining about it. :-)
Ed has hit the target once again, and is no newcomer. He's probably been doing this longer than most of you have been alive.
The Democrats have a credo which is: DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO.
Let's do some math and look into the Progressive future...........
Democrats have been looking at corruption for 12 years you say.
So now they use it as an election theme - and win!
But for 30 years they have been re-electing the same former Klansmen, perverts, drunks, thieves, bribe-takers, and abusers of women by 60% margins.
Conclusion:
Rep. Foley, and Cunningham, as two recent examples, have either been convicted and or driven from office because conservatives do not support them. They vote them out and do not re-elect them overwhelmingly as progressives do.
If this should continue as you hope and liberals can keep picking up seats the conclusion is simple.
Our path to a Progressive America will eventually result in having an entire congress full of degenerate, bribe taking/soliciting, women abusing, gaggle of former Klansmen, call-girl drowners, male prostitute hiring, enlightend, liberal, officials.
Sounds like a Third World country to me.
That is what you stand for and why progressives talk in platitudes about fairness and ethics.
Shea-Porter-Swett had a chance to seperate herself from that yesterday and support stripping convicted congressmen of taxpayer funded retirement.
She sat smirking on C-Span.
I believe Americans are a good, moral group of people and will see this Progressive Plan For America for what it is and throw you guys out.
I also believe there is not enough money left for liberals to keep buying votes with.
Ask "Constitutional Amendment" Lynch when you see him.
Until then - Alinksi #5.
Right now it seems like the latter.
Let me know when you stop sounding like a thuggish side show act, and i'll take a look at whatever you were talking about before.
Actually I am part of the PREVENTION.
Secondly, it's great that Ed got to interview John Cox. He is the one bright, shining light of this race so far, which is filled with compromised insiders (John McKennedy) and flip-floppers whom we cannot really trust (pro/anti-abortion Romney) or outright liberal RINOS (Pataki and Rudy.)
Haven't we had it with career politicians who spend their entire lives in office, and leave as multi-millionaires (with no visible means of gaining that income.) Think about it.
I am used to being lectured by Andy and called names so let them do what comes natural.
I think John Cox IS a breath of fresh air and it is interesting to compare Americans who have been living in America and not some government building isolated from the effects of government intrusion into our lives and businesses.
Does he have a chance? Don't know.
Can he add to the debate? I hope so.
Not necessarily. Someone with those very credentials tried to turn around this state. Government is not and will not ever be the private sector. You can not run a state or a country like a business. If you don't believe me, take a trip to Rye and ask former Governor and Presidential hopeful Craig Benson how it worked out for him.
Gov. Benson has great ideas but he lacked the political will and temperment to deal with slow moving wheel of the legislative process and inability of government to make change in timely manner. If he had not lost interest and campaigned hard in the election in 2004, Benson would have been re-elected.
Government from time to time needs new ideas and fresh propectives and the business world sometimes lends us it's leaders and that is not a bad thing.
As for presidential politics there are 3 candidates on the GOP side that have caught my attention; Gov. Huckabee, Congressman Hunter, and Rudy!
