Just for fun, what presidential candidate are you guys interested in. 






Edit:  Fixed title.  -b0b

Oh good.  I didn't say anything at first, but I'm a Ron Paul fan myself also.  He's such an amazing man.

I suggest that you watch some of the presidential debates on YouTube to check out the candidate that best suites you.  http://youtube.com/youchoose

If for some reason you aren't home for the vote this January, try applying for an absentee ballot.  The pdf is listed below.

It's better than "Ronbot" or "Paulistinian."

There are three candidates I would consider voting for in the primaries:

Tom Tancredo:  This is my "miracle" candidate.  If I could handpick the next president, Tancredo would be the man, but he doesn't realistically have any chance of winning the nomination.  Politically and idealogically he's as close to my own beliefs as I could ask for, but he holds a ridiculously tiny percent of the popular vote right now.  Unless something miraculous happens in the next four weeks, there is really no point in voting for him.

Fred Thompson:  Fred is a great guy and he's willing to shoot down his opponents without regard to political correctness (Michael Moore, for instance).  He's really been taking a beating the last few weeks, though.  He waited too long to get into the race and he's been too laid-back since his announcement.  I'd love to see Fred in office, but he will have to pull off an amazing comeback to get back into the running.  Fred had to give up on New Hampshire this week, focusing entirely on Iowa.  That is more than a little bit disconcerting.

Ron Paul:  Although Ron Paul and I don't see eye to eye on everything (for instance, I'd still like to hear what his replacement for the Fed is), he's definitely a strong candidate.  I've been watching him for about a year now and he's really starting to make strides in the "common American" demographic that had eluded him before.  He still needs to work on his perception as a bit of nutjob, though.

If I had to vote today, it'd be a difficult choice between Fred Thompson and Ron Paul.  Both of them are good men with solid track records.  If I absolutely had to choose between the two, Ron Paul would probably nab my vote, but only by a hair.

(...hopes all three candidates do well.)

Yeah, not to mention ManBearPig.

I've been thinking about fair tax a lot lately, and on the outside it seems pretty good.  Do you think that it would encourage people to buy less, that doesn't seem good at all.  I think at least it would encourage us to start using cash more, because it's untraceable, but I don't know.

My second choice would be mike huckabee.  He seems to be a decent man.  Plus he once was a southern baptist preacher.  I don't like the fact that he wants to remain in the war, which is another reason I like Ron Paul.  Imagine being the only republican candidate to want to withdraw from the middle east. 

I use to be a Fred Thomson fan like Bob, but it seems to me that the man is really lazy.  I watched the Youtube/CNN debate and he was a complete moron on it.  He spoke a lot, but really didn't say anything at all.   He's asked a question, and talks about a completly different topic.  The same goes for the debate last night on C-SPAN.

Well, honestly I haven't had a chance to look at the background of the canidates.  I went to his website and read there, plus a little wikipedia.  That was my plan for this weekend was to read up on the background of these guys.

Giuliani?  Are you serious?  GTFO!
