I like to think about things, and here are some of my thoughts on the front runners from both parties:
John McCain... I lived in Arizona with him in the Senate the state would be better off with out him. Anyone who can claim to be from Arizona and be for open borders hasn't seen what uncontested illegal immigration will do to a state and an economy.
Mike Huckabee... stereotypical pastor Skip. I admire the man's religious convictions, but he would grow government way too much for me. That and he plays on people's emotions too much.
Rudy... admittedly pro-choice, but has proven he can lead in tough times. Unfortunately for the religious right that whole pro-choice thingy gets in the way. Despite his promise and past record of appointing constructionist judges if nominated he would further divide the Republican party.
Mitt Romney... If anyone can fix the US economy it is him. The man rebuilt the reputation of the winter olympics, and figured out a way to make money off of hurling... HURLING. Unfortunately his records on taxes is a little shakey from what I've heard. But hurling...
Now for our friends in the Democratic party...
Billary Clinton... we all know this is really Bill's third term... do we really need 8 more years of a guy who needs a definition for the word is. Not to mention if he and his wifey were really the civil rights advocates they claim to be they would gladly take a second place finish to Barrack Obama. Instead of step aside and let the first viable black candidate for president have his day, they are happy to drag him through the mud and discredit him the same way they have every republican they have faced.
Barrack Obama... likeable, honest, charismatic, someone who could honestly unite the country... socialist. Enough said.
John Edwards... ambulance chasing hypocrite. Anyone who can claim to be the candidate of the poor while living in a 1500s style manor that is located across from one of the US' most impoverished areas has no business representing America.
One thing those three all have in common is that they want to redistribute the wealth of America... that is as long as it is my money they are giving away, and not their own. Philanthropists they are not.
So, there you have it... my analysis of the seven people most likely in line to be the next president of the United States.
Lets be honest people... not much choice out there this election cycle.
I try not to hide my political and religious views, and this will be one of those times where I don't. Regardless of who the nomination is I have to vote party over person. As much good as I think Obama could do on the social front for the country, his socialist leanings would destroy the greatest force for freedom, individual liberty and prosperity the world has ever seen. Hillary just scares me, as does John McCain.
When Thompson resigned yesterday I actually breathed a disappointed sigh. The one candidate who represented me and my beliefs the best out of any candidate was out of the race. Now I really will have to choose between not who I think is best suited to run the country, but who will screw the country up the least in the next 4 - 8 years. Perhaps if I was not going to get the looney left, but only the moderate left, with Obama I would go there. Unfortunately with Obama will come Hillary and Pelosi, Kennedy, Kerry and Schumer. AAAGH.
God have mercy on this country.
Prayers,
Pisio
P.S.: Rest in Piece Heath... may you get the rest you deserve.
