Follow Up: Exclusive Interview With John Cox

2008 Central recently sat down with Republican presidential contender John Cox for an exclusive interview.

The interview was a success!  John Cox’s gracious sacrifice of time, his candor along with all of your submitted questions helped make the interview interesting and informative.  The interview ran a bit longer than 30 minutes.  Accordingly, because the interview was so longer, we’re going to publish it in two parts to ensure that it receives the proper attention - Part 1 will be published this evening, Part 2 will be published tomorrow evening.

Part 1 - Basic Info and Foreign Policy

• Cox’s discussion of his chances of securing the nomination and winning the general election
• Discusses when he started thinking about and why he’s running for president
• Gives his plans for success in Iraq and controlling Iran’s nuclear ambitions [You'll definitely want to check back for these as his point-of-view is certainly not being discussed much by the media - whether you agree or disagree, it's still worth learning about new/different ideas]
• Discusses human caused climate change [Teaser: He doesn't really buy into all the discussion about climate change, but he still wants clean up the environment]

Part 2 - Domestic Policy and Assorted Questions

• Discusses his plan for dealing with illegal immigrants
• Discusses military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy and reacts to Gen. Pace’s comments [You're not getting a teaser as I don't want to give away too much]
• Tells us what he’d do differently in the war on drugs and discloses whether or not he’s used marijuana [Teaser: His discussion on the War on Drugs is thoughtful and a position absent from the mainstream and deserving of more attention]
• Responds to criticisms of his Republican frontrunners Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and Mitt Romney

Once again, we’d like to thank John Cox for his time.  We strongly encourage all to read the interview.
