... and which Candidate BEST represents traditional Republican values (small government, low taxes, strict adherence to the Constitution, minimal govenrnment interference, maximum freedom, avoiding entangling alliances)?
Finally, what is your BASIS for your choice? Can you cite an example of how your candidate supports the Constitution, has supported smaller government, less taxes, etc.?

The best candidate that represents the Republican party platform is....wait...wait for it....Ron Paul.
The neocons stole the party....they are tax and spend ,entitlement lovin' , the government has a good plan to fix it, what is a budget?, earmark voting fools.
The neocons are on the wrong side of national sovereignty/ security.
They are on the wrongside of foreign policy( we should go to war, kick ***-take names later, and then get our little butts back home and NOT nation build.)
They are on the wrong side of civil liberties.
....in fact domestically the neocons are not all that much different from many democrats. socialism under the guise fo liberalism/progresivism.
and on social issues they try to use the power of the federal gov't to enforce behaviors that the founding fathers would have left the states to decide.
I usually vote republican due to a lack of alternatives....but they are in for a tough time in 08'
again...look at his record,
Ron Paul 08'

I think the republican party is trying to be too politically correct. It used to be that you fought a war to win it. The easiest way to win a war is to blow the hell out of everything and then rebuild it, but we seem to have lost site of that. I will vote for John McCain again, as I did in 2000. I think he's the candidate that best knows how to win a war, and the importance therein.

Okay, good question. I don't like the wording, but whatever.
First off, no, my political party is still here and in full force. We are fighting to defend our country. Do you really want another experience like 9/11?
Secondly, I support John McCain. This is for a few reasons.
One, he was taken hostage in Vietnam. He was tortured. He has seen the clean side of War (if there is any) and the dirty side. He knows how to handle things in those types of situations.
I believe that, in this World, America, the most powerful country in the World, needs someone who will take force on people who are going to threaten our country!
Lastly, I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to say this. Spectacular question.
Have a nice day, sir.
