Who would make the strongest president, commanding respect and quick action?

Question

I think McCain because people listen to him and respect him, and he has a wealth of experience.

For those who say Huckabee, please read Ann Coulter.

Answer 1

Mitt Romney's history as a business executive is more relevant to being president than most people think. To succeed in business, you need to be able to command respect and take quick action.

For anyone who thinks those skills aren't translatable to public office, look at his time as Governor of Massachusetts. He was able to turn a $3 billion budget deficit into a surplus in just four years, without raising taxes. He performed a similar feat when he saved the Olympics, which required more than just financial savvy.

Answer 2

There are two candidates, one from the Democrat side and one from the Republican side, the Democrat is John Edwards, and the Republican is Mitt Romney, both look presidential, both are super intelligent, both have great honesty and integrity, both are Christians, the main-stream religion upon which our nation was founded. Both men have the experience necessary for the job, and both have the mental acumen to react appropriately to suddenly occuring crisises, whether domestic or global. McCain has the experience, however, it is difficult to know where he stands, and he would probably keep us bogged down in Iraq forever.

Answer 3

I have to disagree about McCain. I used to respect him. But I knda noticed him selling out to his party in the recent past and so I don't but into it anymore.

Yes, he has experience. Yes, he has served his country, but I also think he's a little on the old side and his time has passed.

Answer 4

I would agree with this. McCain probably won't get his chance though if he doesn't get his game on and his campaign back into action. His candidacy has been declared dead more often than Pope John Paul the second and Bob Hope put together.

Answer 5

Not McCain. McCain is pro-amnesty and pro-war, he shouldn't deserve respect for that. He even suggests invading Iran when our military is stretched thin. A strong President would bring ALL troops from around the globe and return our national defense back. Just imagine that all 500,000 stationed overseas be brought home and instead be here closer to their families. Nonetheless, you wouldn't be paying taxes to sustain them in other places. The only real candidate that supports this is not "Pope Paul" as the person above explains but rather "Dr. Paul". He did serve in the USAF as a flight surgeon during the Cuban Missile Crisis. But the only way to support our troops is to bring them here back in our land. Let's not even drop one more ounce of American blood on foreign soil. Let's bring them home, and restore back the Constitution.

Answer 6

McCain, backed up by Hunter as VP.

or Edwards, backed up by Biden as VP.

Answer 7

McCain is too wishy washy but I thank him for the five years as a POW. I have decided on
Fred Thompson- he beats to a different drummer.
The rest are phonies and the Dems are traitors

Answer 8

I also belive John McCain meets the criteria you mention.

Answer 9

Ron Paul. People in the US and the rest of the world will respect him for ending the occupation of Iraq and the old interventionist policy of the US that has devastated the world.

Answer 10

Mike Huckabee. He is close to God, the very thing our nation was founded upon. He is not ashamed of his beliefs. That is the kind of man America needs. Someone who doesn't care if the atheists get offended.

Btw, I don't care either. :) If I offend you....sounds like a personal problem to me.
