Hudsonkid,



You need to add Ron Paul to the list.



Dave W.

Where is the "None of the Above" option?



Frankly, I can not see myself voting for any of the candidates regardless of party.



The "third" party candidates are single-issue platform and have no solid overall plan to make the country better.



The major party candidates are more worried about making the other guy look bad that they are forgetting to tell me how they are actually going to make this a better place.



I want to hear each candidate tell the world what the other party is doing right and who they would select from the other party as President is they were unable hold office.



And I want to hear each candidate tell the world who in their own party would be a good replacement if they were not able to hold office.



This goes for the "third" party candidates as well.



I am tired of hearing what "they screwed up" and "I am the better person." I want to hear "they did this well, but I can do it better and hear is how."



Heck, I might even vote for someone who would say "I can't to that any better but term limits apply and I feel I can do the job just as well."

I still have a few (too few) friends, so I am going to stay out of this and let my vote speak at the election that is a long way off.

Where is Fred Thompson? add him to the mix. At least he's a conservative'

And don't forget the unbelievable Bill and Al fiasco! Lets face it, None of them give a flip about anything but the power they will have if elected. Put them all in a bag and shake them up and all you have is a bag of crap.

Romney is the best business man period. He knows economics better than any of the others hands down. McCain likes illegal aliens so he can move to Mexico. With all that said. They are all *****s but that is the only way you can get elected in this country. Vote for Niels!

You think Bush and Cheney are conservative?? Think again.. Republican used to mean conservative..not any more.:eek:

I would think if you looked at the age thread, then looked at this thread, and saw where the majority of the age/conservative lean is, you could answer a lot of questions.



I think that as people age, they become more conservative, without regard to the real facts.



quite frankly, there is no good politician, with an R or a D behind their name.



I did not want this to turn into a political debate, but honestly, when you do look at it, I will say that I am in fact, worse off now, than I was 8 years ago. Reasons for that? perhaps it is political, or global, I don't know. But I remember some better times of the 1990's. (Hey, even the 80's were pretty great!) Both decades were pretty good, and I was not a Clinton fan then.



What changed?

I think what you say to a certain degree is quite true 66patrick66, but I also think that to some degree that person in office, can affect consumer confidence, and further drive market forces such as inflation. This to a significant degree, can very well affect one's livlihood, and ulitmate success.



I would further venture to say, that it is to some degree the responsibilty of those in power, and that have the ability to do so, to try to build consumer confidence, and keep the forces of inflation under control.



I personally think that the cost of consumables is out of control, meaning a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk, a pack of diapers, a gallon of gas, all of this has exponentially increased over the last couple of years, more so than pretty much any other time in history. For products to increase at this rate, really hits the working middle class, and those on fixed incomes. Inflation may be a fact of life, but when it is out of control, there's a problem.



I don't hear stories of people keeping up with this inflation via their pay scale, it seems that we are entering into some bad times. the market is taking a dive, things don't look good.



I like to think I am conservative as well, I just can't get behind the current regime, which is under the guise of conservative politics, and someone above pretty much summed that up.



Still not sure how I am going to vote, in a few months. We need to do something. Remember, it's not important who you vote for, just that you do.



Personally, at this point, I could get behind almost anyone that is not Bush/Cheyney.

Historically, women have played the role of taking care of day to day business on the homefront, including cleaning house. I'm thinking it's time to clean house in DC.

Those are the roles that women USED to play. Not anymore. You can thank the Gloria Allred's and her feminazi clones for trying to make people believe that estrogen and testosterone are the same thing.

I'd vote for Margaret Thatcher but Hillary ain't no Margaret Thatcher!

There is an old saying, Can't recall who said it, but is still true..

"If you are young and not a liberal, you have no heart. If you are old and not a conservative, you have no brain".

And the other good quote is "A liberal is just a conservative who hasn't made any money yet."

I guess we can try to make an early prediction....



Republicans....



McCain/Guilani



Democrats....



Obama/?

or

Hillary/?

I will vote for the one that deports "all" illegals, builds the wall on the boarder, lowers taxes, kills "all" terrorists, stops all federal funding to Berkley California So who will it be ??????

Wasn't Mitt Romney's Dad the AMC CEO that put the last hammer down on the Hudson Marque'?
