John Bolton Decides Not To Seek 2016 Republican Nomination for President
Source: Blog4President
As I look forward, I have decided not to seek the Republican nomination for president. I believe I can make the strongest contribution to our future by continuing as a clear and consistent advocate for a strong Reaganite foreign policy that values peace through strength.
While I am not a candidate, I am certainly not going to sit this election out, and Im counting on your ongoing support to defend Americas national security interests.

Even now, between all the Republican candidates and the Republican Senate, Republican House, and all their darn think-tanks and "Conservative" meetings, I have to turn-off C-Span more than I would like prefer.

(1,151 posts)Since some people (e.g. John Bolton) thinks it's important, I have an announcement that's just as relevant to the world:
ALC Decides Not To Seek 2016 Republican Nomination for President
Sorry I didn't make a video for the announcement but I have better things to do with my time than make a video that nobody cares about. Besides, my camera is pointed at the toilet for the next time the cat falls in. I have a feeling my video will get more views than John Bolton's..

I am relieved that he won't be president.
Still plenty of candidates in the GOP Clown Car.

Press Release: Larry Flynt
John R. Bolton Court Divorce Records Show His First
Wife Fled Home When He Was Traveling Abroad
From Larry Flynt
http://www.larryflynt.com/bolton/
Publisher Larry Flynt's Questions Posed to State Department Regarding Corroborated Allegations that First Wife was Forced into Group Sex go Unanswered
May 11-LOS ANGELES - Court records concerning the divorce of John R. Bolton, the Bush administration's nominee to become the next ambassador to the United Nations, show his first wife fled the couple's marital home when he was traveling abroad in mid-August 1982. The records further show that she took most of the couple's furniture.
Corroborated allegations that Mr. Bolton's first wife, Christina Bolton, was forced to engage in group sex have not been refuted by the State Department despite inquires posed by Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt concerning the allegations. Mr. Flynt has obtained information from numerous sources that Mr. Bolton participated in paid visits to Plato's Retreat, the popular swingers club that operated in New York City in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
"The first Mrs. Bolton's conduct raises the presumption that she fled out of fear for her safety or, at a minimum, it demonstrates that Mr. Bolton's established inability to communicate or work respectfully with others extended to his intimate family relations," said Mr. Flynt. "The court records alone provide sufficient basis for further investigation of nominee Bolton by the Senate." (Click here for court records). Mr. Flynt continued, "The U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations must be free of any potential source of disrepute or blackmail."
Mr. Flynt has contacted the State Department asking that they confirm or deny the allegations of Mr. Bolton's prior conduct concerning his wife and the alleged paid visits to Plato's Retreat. He has also called upon the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to conduct an inquiry into the very serious evidence concerning his first wife's fear of him.

(133 posts)What makes these people (Bolton, Fiorina, et al.) run? They have zero chance of winning. I understand it in the case of Bernie--he's trying to get a message out, like Norman Thomas did. But Bolton and Carly have no new message. Just the same old neocon BS.
