No this isn't homework, just interest in the political system and the opinions of the country.

Ron Paul
He wants to minimize the federal government to some extent (ie not socialist like Hilary)
He has the most consistent voting recording of any candidate
(ie I know what I am getting, unlike Hilary)
He has good moral values
(ie not a liar like Hilary)
My next choice is Mike Huckabee, although I really am not sure I agree with all of his conservative ideas.

Ron Paul
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.
He just announced a gain of $5 million in donations for the 3rd quarter (close to what McCain raised) which has shocked all the networks. He's moving from 2nd tier candidate to the 1st tier and is now truly a viable candidate!

I would vote for either of the following two candidates because I feel that a HUGE change is needed for our country ... We've had all that we can handle from the Republicans trying to rewrite our Consitution and furthering their attempts to justify a war we should have never been involved with.
Hillary ... She has the experience dealing with the members of the House, plus she has seen how the bureaucracy works from the White House's view, thanks to Bill.
Obama would be a close second, but I think he needs a little more political experience in foreign policy to be effective.

Well I will be voting for Dennis Kucinich this March in the primaries because he has very strong beliefs on the war, gay marriage, gun control, and universal health care, which I believe will translate into our country being safer, more accepting, and an overall better place to live. However if Kucinich loses in the primaries, I will be voting for whoever wins the Democratic nomination, cause honestly I hate all the Republican candidates.

Ron Paul. He evokes the old-school Republican party, before they got into the business of endless war and record deficits (you know it's bad when the Democrats are calling for fiscal conservatism!). If Paul only had Thompson's charisma, he'd be a shoo-in for the Republican primary.

OBAMA, for change. With the prior presidents and the current one, we have stretched those two families and their views of the country into a darkness. With OBAMA, we can only come up as we have hit rock bottom with Bush, Clinton, Bush and never again should we look back.

Probably a write-in vote for Ron Paul. He needs all the support he can get.
