Do you actually like any of the current crop of politicians running or is it a choice of bad and worse .?

Question

None of them are going to curb spending or end the war swiftly except a couple of guys that the press hardly even mentions . Why is promoting border security and jobs creation here at home being met with such resistance .

Both of the people running on this platform get no attention and what attention they do is to call them the fringe lunatics who have no clue how to run a nation .

I would say a fiscally responsible congressman who returns his unused budget back to the treasury would qualify as a thrifty spender who would cut the budget .

I would say a man who comes from the people and knows poverty and supports building jobs in America and defending our border as someone to consider .

But all we have is what the media offers and thats the same old tax and spend crop of politicians who have made a career out of elected office pandering and not fulfilling promises .
But thats ok , you go right ahead and support Hillary or Rudy its a free nation .

Kucinich/Paul in 2008

Answer 1

Not really a big fan of any of them. It looks like it will be like 2004 and a vote against some one rather than for some one.......

Answer 2

In modern elections, it's always a choice between bad and worse. The only way to make sure the person who's running is exactly what you want is to make sure you're that person.

To add to what you're saying, we really only get to know the candidates' stands on the big issues -- the war, health care, etc. Those certainly affect the country, but the little things that sort of get glossed over almost affect the country more. I would personally love a complete, unabridged platform from each of the candidates so I can choose who I know for certain is the best -- but they don't have time for that among all their publicity appearances.

Answer 3

Agreed. At least with Kucinich and Paul you get men who haven't stratigically changed position on political issues for election purposes. Both men have been steadfast in their ideals since Day 1 and deserve praise for it.

I don't agree with all the stances that either candidate has, but support them because they are steadfast in their beliefs.

Answer 4

You know whats good about this election though is it will get a lot of people out of the way. Hopefully by the next election there will be a fresh new group of people on both sides.

Answer 5

I like all of the Democratic party candidates. Paul is the only republican party candidate that isn't campaigning from fantasy land.

Answer 6

The front runners are a frightening batch. I like the idea of Kucinich and Ron Paul.

Answer 7

I honestly like Fred Thompson. He stands for mostly everything I am looking for in a leader for our nation.

If you are really desperate to find a candidate, I humbly suggest you take the time to look into Fred. He fits quite a bit of what you talk about here.

Answer 8

Every election, it seems like we are choosing between the lesser of two evils! In my heart I know there real leaders in the US. How do we get them to run?

Answer 9

The two party liberal agenda is the enemy. How can you treat the sickness if you do not diagnose it properly? Oppose anything and anyone liberal whether there's a (D) or an (R) by their name. Tackle the beast.

Answer 10

i agree with you: Kucinich and Paul are the only decent, honest candidates. edwards is ok too, though
