Tough question:Is there a person that both democrats and republicans would support?

Question

Or are we gonna have to chose sides again in the next election? Personally, I think that our greatest leaders in history have come from both sides of the aisle, and drew support from a very sizable majority of the country. Some examples include FDR, Reagan, Eisenhower, Teddy Roosevelt, and Washington.

After the last few years, can we all agree that we need someone that will unite us and bring back our respect from the world? If there is a person who can do this, who is it?

Answer 1

Ron Paul. The man crosses party lines on issues. He has a history of working with Dems and the GOP, His voting record matches his campaign platform, so you know he is reliable and believes what he says.

No one else, GOP or Dem, can really say the same.

And in truth - I don't see much difference between the other candidates except that they claim different parties.

In fact - Ron paul is really the only one pushing a change in the staus quo.

Answer 2

ron paul

Hi I believe Ron Paul is our hope for america, the media will not report what a fascist nation we are becoming. They only repeat things about terrorism so that you believe Bush's lies. We are not endanger. Just ask any Iranian. The media is spinning things and we are falling for it.

Ron Paul says
The Federal Reserve, our central bank, fosters runaway debt by increasing the money supply — making each dollar in your pocket worth less. The Fed is a private bank run by unelected officials who are not required to be open or accountable to “we the people.” Worse, our economy and our very independence as a nation is increasingly in the hands of foreign governments such as China and Saudi Arabia, because their central banks also finance our runaway spending. We cannot continue to allow private banks, wasteful agencies, lobbyists, corporations on welfare, and governments collecting foreign aid to dictate the size of our ballooning budget. We need a new method to prioritize our spending. It’s called the Constitution of the United States.
So called free trade deals and world governmental organizations like the International Criminal Court (ICC), NAFTA, GATT, WTO, and CAFTA are a threat to our independence as a nation. They transfer power from our government to unelected foreign elites. The ICC wants to try our soldiers as war criminals. Both the WTO and CAFTA could force Americans to get a doctor”s prescription to take herbs and vitamins. Alternative treatments could be banned. The WTO has forced Congress to change our laws, yet we still face trade wars. Today, France is threatening to have U.S. goods taxed throughout Europe. If anything, the WTO makes trade relations worse by giving foreign competitors a new way to attack U.S. jobs. NAFTA”s superhighway is just one part of a plan to erase the borders between the U.S. and Mexico, called the North American Union. This spawn of powerful special interests, would create a single nation out of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, with a new unelected bureaucracy and money system. Forget about controlling immigration under this scheme. And a free America, with limited, constitutional government, would be gone forever.

MOST IMPORTANTLY
He can be trusted unlike any other politician that is running...
He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.

He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.

He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.

Answer 3

Ron Paul appeals to Republicans and Democrats. The reason is becaues he is part Libertarian and part Constitutionalist. He supports issues that both parties like. Independants love him because he't not pandering to the voters. Democrats like him because he's against preemptive wars. Conservatives like him because he is against amnesty and is tough on immigration.

Answer 4

I would say Giuliani probably has the most crossover appeal because he could tap the upper class liberal vote by playing to their economic self-interest and their view of the social issues. This is why he is the only candidate with large leads over Democrats in states the Democrats won in 2000 and 2004.

Answer 5

I really don't see it. The radicals on each side will probably dictate the biggest liberal against the biggest conservative. Any body that is close to being a moderate (can see both sides of an issue ) will be ran out of the race. Look at Bush, he tried to get at least something going, right or wrong, on immigration and is being tabbed a liberal.

Answer 6

Mitt Romney and Rudy are both republicans but the most liberal. none of the democrats would make the whole country happy. Hillary - no , Edwards - no, Obama - no just because people are racist.
Best democrat - Obama
Best republican - Romney

Answer 7

Definately Ron Paul because he's got some ideas that both sides like. He's intelligent, articulate and seems sincere.

Answer 8

Ron Paul. He's registered Republican but he's actually a constitutionalist. Anyone who's tired of the same old thing - Dems and Repubs are two sides of the same coin - should check him out.

Answer 9

Michael J. Bloomberg may be the one, especially given his record in New York City.

Answer 10

NO, unfortually the two parties are two divided. When you look at who is running, and mind you there are good choices on both sides, I don't think anyone of their views can unite the parties.
