Other 2004 Republican Presidential Candidates
Excerpts from politics1.com:

Business entrepreneur Blake Ashby, 39...is running for President because he believes President Bush has ignored the party's traditional commitment to fiscal responsibility by running up a $400 billion deficit....He also takes issue with the increasing role social conservatives have been playing in the GOP....He supports medical marijuana, opposes unfunded mandates "such as the current 'no child left behind' rhetoric", advocates federal tax reform, supports strengthening environmental protection laws, opposes deficit budgets, believes "our first and best line of national defense has always been democratic capitalism [and] free trade", and wants to return nearly all control over education to the state/local levels.

Businessman and Army veteran Dick Bosa...vows that he will now focus his activism "on the root core problem of the deterioration of values by government, not acknowledging constitutional guarantees, corrupt courts, silent press intimidated by lawyers, civic groups like the Chamber Of Commerce, NH Business and Industry working for self serving interests and the movement of JOBS by multinationals destroying NH and the US economy, and the lack of morals in the Catholic Church. I call this period 'The Medieval Dark Ages of the 21st Century' where greed, lust for wealth, property and control is the driving force for most individuals, corporations and government agencies." He paid his NH filing fee with a thousand silver dollars, and explained to reporters that he wanted to debate President Bush on the economy and his fiscally irresponsible spending programs.

Albertha Moultrie Brinson filed paperwork with the FEC declaring her candidacy "for nomination as the Republican [Presidential] challenger to the Rev. Al Sharpton."

Freelance journalist John Buchanan explains he is running for President in the 2004 New Hampshire primary to "be the Gene McCarthy of the 2004 race and do to President Bush what McCarthy did to President Johnson in 1968 -- I want to send a loud message that shakes the White House ... I am running to get corporations out of politics, stop war profiteering, and reform the media."

Mrs. Edie Bukewihge -- she always uses the "Mrs." -- ... attacks the Bush Administration as being infused with "the spirit of Hitler" in its foreign policy. She also supports environmental protection laws, a strong national defense, and protection of civil rights.

Michael Callis -- a bricklayer and stone mason -- qualified for a spot on the New Hampshire primary ballot. In fact, Callis admits he's limiting his entire campaign to New Hampshire (and mainly to the part of the state where he lives). " I love America and am proud to be an American, but I am not proud of the covert foreign policy implemented by Intelligence agencies over the last 40 years in the name of America and this is why I am running for President," he explained....One of his other issues is his opposition to Israel being recognized as a Jewish nation. Callis says he supports separation of church and state globally and believes some of the Middle East problems could be solved if Israel was "a country, not a religious state."

There are a number of others, so I'll just highlight one more:

Aging movie actor Tom Laughlin...says his campaign is seeking to "create an immediate and fundamental change in the 2004 primaries and general election." He equates his 2004 campaign to Gene McCarthy's peace campaign against LBJ in the 1968 NH primary. "A primary reason I run is to make the American people aware there is a window of opportunity to stop the war in Iraq immediately," explains Laughlin....He also vows to "stop the Totalitarian Takeover of America ... make Americans aware of the frightening anti-American Bush Doctrine of world domination & pre-emptive strikes ... stop the exporting of American jobs ... [and] restore America to her moral purpose as our most powerful weapon in the war against terror." He doesn't think much of the Congressional Democrats, either -- whom he calls "Demo-Cowards" -- for supporting Bush's Iraq War plans. He also supports universal health insurance.
