#10 - Study! Know what you're talking about when you claim to support the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution; don't dishonor the Founders' sacrifice by claiming to support something you know little or nothing about. Stop speaking in platitudes; become an authority on the subject matter so you can lead others.
- Do you know the approximate 30 enumerated powers delegate to the Federal Government in the Constitution?
- Do you know the difference between the Federalists and the Anti-federalists?
- Can you explain why the Incorporation Doctine shredded the federalism?
- Turn off American Idol or any of the thousands of embarrassingly silly TV shows you're watching and pick up a book/Kindle!

Get ready, this one’s going to sting, even so, please read all the way through.
There is no “Knight in shining armor” that is coming to rescue us! Not Sir Newt, Sir Mitt, Sir Rick, Sir Barack, not even Sir Ron will “save us!”
It is time to grow up…it’s up to us, not some illusionary Knight who will swoop in on his horse and save the day. Mind you, the candidates want you to believe this is who they are. But my response to that again is; grow up. That’s not how it works and if you think back to 1776, the Founders didn’t search high and low for a Knight in Shining Armor;” they became the Knights!
We watch too many movies I think. You know the ones where the drama builds throughout the flick and then someone appears in the movie or grows into that “Knightly” character and saves the day. I believe Conservatives especially are vulnerable to these “epic battles” with great endings. This makes conservatives very vulnerable to candidate speak, carefully tuned in to tap into your emotions.
Ever wonder why candidates are big on vision and short on specifics? It’s designed that way; they want you to embrace a vision and blunt you from seeing how they intend to implement it.Read more: Stop romanticizing this election!
