Declared 2012 Republican Presidential Candidate
Businessman

Wuensche ran for President in 2008, garnering a tenth place finish in both the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries, despite spending only $36,000. In 100 days, the owner of Houston’s third oldest construction company, visited over 6,000 local businesses and churches in 242 towns in both states.

He believes that businesses survive and thrive chiefly through the caliber of those who runs them and thus, these executives are perfectly qualified for a public office shorn of proven management

Declared 2012 Republican Presidential Candidate
Political Consultant & Gay Rights Activist

Fred Karger (http://2012.republican-candidates.org/Karger)

Fred Karger, one of the shrewdest Republican political operators of the past three decades, announced the formation of his 2012 Exploratory Committee on July 18, 2010, making him the first ever openly gay aspirant for the presidency. Despite being a lifelong Republican, the 61-year old Karger will be running on an independent ticket. His campaign was hit with a sucker punch when he was locked out of the Carolina Republican Party Presidential Debate of May 5, with the organizers citing his low poll numbers as the reason.

The former mayoral, gubernatorial and senatorial candidate for the Rent Is Too Damn High Party announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination on December last year. Explaining his decision not to contest the Democratic nomination, a party he was formerly registered with, karate expert McMillan was quoted as saying "the rent is too damn high." The flamboyant Vietnam veteran also gave some words of advice to President Obama, “If you don’t do your job right, I am coming at you!"

Does anyone else read the Republican candidates website and learn about the less popular candidates just out of curiosity or interest? Is there any less known Republican candidates you think would be fantastic in office who will obviously not make the cut?

Never heard of the first two but I vaguely remember seeing something on McMillen quite a while ago. Interesting site, thanks for the tip.

Your welcome. The gay rights activist is the one that surprized me most:laugh2: ( I know you won't be supporting him for that reason he he)
