Do you think we have good candidates for the next US president elections or more from the same we are tired?

Answer 1

He have the same nothing better so far...

Answer 2

This is a great pool for both sides. You have heavy hitters in the Democratic Party: Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton at the top. Then you have John Edwards, and even Bill Richardson, if he can gain some exposure, maybe the most qualified. And there's the large shadow cast by a possible Al Gore candidacy. There is no real frontrunner, despite what polls say now.

On the Republican side, I like the pool because the talibanistic evangelicals are not represented, and this is a GREAT thing. Of the three main candidates, the Mormon is the one with the fewest wives. Giuliani -while I think he's a power hungry brat - at least realizes that a woman has a right to choose, homosexuality is not an abberation, and we have an Establishment clause. John McCain, while I think he's a war mongerer, is not beholden to the religious right - who despise him because he adopted a daughter of a different race.

I think this is an excellent pool all around. But that doesn't mean we'll get the best possible candidates. Thats up to the primary voters.

Answer 3

I think we have a very diverse group spanning a range of opinion. This is good and should create an interesting primary season. However, I do not trust politicians in general because they all fall victim to the same failings. Too many politicians are drunk with power and are willing to say whatever is required to get elected. The best you can do is look for consistency in message and a platform which will benefit the people more than the government. We have some candidates who conceivably fit this mold, but the real question is whether or not they can garner their party nomination.

Answer 4

I've never seen anyone as inspiring as Barack Obama. He's inspiring people (including me) to get off our butts and do something good for the country. He is by all accounts I've heard fair, compassionate and wise. After reading his books and keeping up with him in the news for the past couple years, I have complete faith in him to govern as president. There will never be a candidate who can please everyone on all the issues, but I think the most important qualities for a president is someone reasonable with sound judgment..someone who can motivate and inspire, unite, bring out and represent the best that America has to offer, while having the courage to deal with our dark side (poverty, arrogance, bigotry). I hope he wins the election so the US can have a true leader, instead of just the punchline of a joke.

Answer 5

I think the entire field is quite diverse and promising but so far neither side has a clear consensus candidate.

For my money, I'd liked to have seen Al Gore as POTUS but its not going to happen. So I would like to see Obama or Clinton get the White House in 2008

From the Repbulican field, I think that McCain is honest but has little chance of winning the White House now. Romney strikes me as a reactionary populist and Giullani is staggeringly underqualified for this office (9/11 effect aside)

Answer 6

No, we don't. We're still getting the worst scum in the country (in other words, all the lawyers) to run for President. And that's on both sides, unlike what impeach43dotcom thinks.

Unfortunately, the days of big government are far from over, and as long as we have people like the soccer moms who always want something, limited government will never return.

Answer 7

I think Mitt Romney is unusally good. He is a billionaire from business who really cares for others so he can apply his skills to politics. He ran the Olympics well in Salt Lake and turned MA busted budget ang govt around, so he seems to be far and away someone who could actually fix our govt broken from the Republicans raising discretionary spending by 40% over the last 12 years--talk about corrupt

Answer 8

Our "elected" representatives are a reflect of the vapid drooling minds that populate this land. television and Ipods are more beneficial exciting to the everyday American than the structure is. This has been shown to be real. maximum employers may certainly hearth you in case you lied and or stole from them. we were lied to and stolen from for a lengthy time period now and not in any respect adequate human beings look to care. at the same time as issues get undesirable in united states therefore of those lies and robberies i'd project to guess it truly is at the same time as the yankee human beings will start up to ask your self what the F befell.

Answer 9

I'm not sure anyone is any better than the other. Their all politicians and the only reason they want to stay in office is cause they don't want to have to get out in live in the real world under the laws they made.

Answer 10

Currently there are no good candidates from either the demicans or republicrats. I would like to see Alan Keyes run again, but think its doubtful.

Answer 11

Vote Ron Paul in the republican primary. He's the country's only decent shot at turning things around.
