Christopher Ruddy is a major player in Republican circles. GOP candidates who run for president make their way down to meet with him. Some big-time Democrats do too.

His “Newsmax Empire” is bustling. The leading conservative website, the very popular Newsmax Magazine and now Newsmax TV. When you look up “mover and shaker” in Webster’s Dictionary, Christopher Ruddy’s picture pops up.

Christopher Ruddy: If you really annoy them (religious right/social votes) and you move away from those groups, the Republican Party is finished as the second major party in the country.

I tell my libertarian friends the reason we have a free enterprise system and the freedoms that we have is because of the Judeo-Christian ethic that the nation was founded on.

This nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and ethics and think we should keep consistent on those and I think the country will remain strong and free. If we lose our tether to those principles I think the country is in peril.
