George Pataki enters the race

George Pataki has decided to announce his hopes as a Republican presidential candidate:

May 28, 2015

Former New York Gov. George Pataki, announcing Thursday that he’ll seek the Republican nomination for president in 2016, told Fox News that he would authorize American “boots on the ground” to go after Islamic State targets in Iraq.

The former Republican governor weighed in on a debate that has divided the party. Pataki insisted he does not want to see a “trillion-dollar, decade-long war,” but said the U.S. cannot allow ISIS to have “recruiting” and “training” centers.

“If necessary, we will send in American boots on the ground to destroy those training centers, destroy those planning centers and then get out,” he said. The U.S. has more than 3,000 troops in Iraq to train and equip Iraqi forces, but they are not technically in a combat role.

Pataki, meanwhile, pledged to run on a “reform agenda” as he joins a crowded field seeking the GOP nomination in 2016.

“My whole life has prepared me for this moment,” Pataki told Fox News. “I am running.”

Pataki formally announced his campaign shortly afterward at a rally in Exeter, N.H., which served as the state capital during the Revolutionary War and claims to be the birthplace of the Republican Party. “Let the next decade be the decade where America proves to the world, you ain’t seen nothing yet,” Pataki told the crowd.

In announcing his White House bid, Pataki’s campaign also posted a three-and-a-half-minute video to its website featuring an anti-big government message, “Washington has grown too big, too powerful, too expensive, and too intrusive.” The video highlighted Pataki’s role as governor of New York following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

“We have always understood that we have a common background and a common destiny, and when we stand together, we can accomplish anything,” Pataki said in the video. “I saw that on the streets of New York in the days and weeks after September 11.”

Pataki is the eighth Republican candidate to announce his run for the White House, http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/05/28/former-new-york-gov-pataki-announces-run-for-2016-gop-presidential-nomination/

Pataki boasts of shrinking New York’s welfare state and lowering its taxes, to be sure: “In 12 years, New York went from the state with the highest tax burden, the lowest credit rating and billions of dollars in deficits, to a state with $143 billion in lower taxes,” he told supporters during his announcement speech.

But he’s further to the left, or center, than other Republicans on some key issues. Notably, he believes climate change is a problem and co-chaired the Council on Foreign Relations’ Independent Task Force on Climate Change, which recommended a “cap-and-trade” system to limit carbon emissions in the U.S.; and he supported abortion rights as governor, drawing fire from the right. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/george-patakis-entry-means-2016-presidential-race/story?id=31366893

George Pataki is considered one of the most politically ‘liberal’ of the announced Republican candidates. The mainstream media tends to like him more than most of the others. But that does not mean that he will necessarily win, only that some in the media will tend to give him more favorable press coverage.

The USA needs national repentance, the return of Jesus Christ, and establishment of the Kingdom of God. George Pataki does not advocate that.
