I like rudy. But this is a choice that u have to make and not let others pick for you. For me i like the domestic views of a president. What topic do you find intresting, Views on iraq/iran, taxes, the economy. Just when your picking your views please dont pick a president based on his views of gay marrage or abortion. I feel only a true moron picks a president base on those.

Welcome to adulthood and we are glad you are a being responsible. But part of the responsibility means you have to do your own research. What is important to you? Write those things down. Then you need to see which candidate represents YOUR values. Please do not let the media or your friends tell you who to vote for. Most do not read anything about the candidates and vote as if it is a popularity contest. You can enter "all presidential candidates 2008" into whatever search engine you are using. From the list, try and read about all of them, at least one per day. There are 30 different candidates for 2008 representing as many parties. But if you only listen to CNN, Fox, etc, they will only give you news about the popular ones. One guy you should research is Dr. Ron Paul. He is not perfect, but he seems to have the average American in mind. But again, take a few minutes everyday and read about each candidate. Next thing you know, all your friends and family will consider YOU the informed one and they will ask YOU who to vote for. And then you will be the popular AND smart one in the crowd. Good luck!!!

I would suggest that you look into Ron Paul. He is anti-war, wants to lower taxes for the middle class and poor, voted no against the Patriot Act, voted no against the amendment banning gay marriages. He believes the United States should have a non-interventionist foreign policy where we trade and negotiate with other countries instead of fighting useless wars where so many innocent people die. He wants to drastically reduce the debt the United States is in and restore our country to the democracy it once was. Finally we have a voice for the people. One that isn't backed by corporations and lobbyists. but by the people.. Ron Paul is a man of his word. Just check his track record. He knows where he stands on the issues, unlike other candidates whose stances seem to change from week to week. I truly believe he can boost the morale of this country and restore a democracy for the people not just for the elite...

What would Clinton do...increase further executive power, strip ordinary citizens of their constitutional rights, and further the world agenda of the CFR...including the Iraq war. She is lying when she says she'll end this war. Her position will be no different in the war than if Bush were re-elected(I know this isn't possible.)

John F. Kennedy said it best: "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country."
When candidates offer something in exchange for your vote, they are buying your vote with someone else's tax dollars.
