The one p...Like you I did the same, googled it all. The one person I didn't care to vote for seemed to have the least skeletons in the closet(http://www.realchange.org/). That person is Hillary, someone I don't like. Huckabee who is likable doesn't have the qualifications to be President. Playing a base guitar and displaying you are a Chuck Norris fan doesn't qualify you for the top office in the land. I think he's cool doing that, but does that alone qualify him to be President. Bush is likable, but he wasn't qualified. Sadly people will make their decisions based on emotions."don't take our guns" don't take prayer out of school(even though prayer is always available, I used it before all my test) The economy, jobs and deficit, seem to always take a backseat to the emotional issues. Having someone who is a preacher in the White House would make us no different or better than the Taliban and Muslim Countries who have religious leaders running their country. Our religious would I'm sure would argue the point saying they are not the same. Religion is important to me, but I believe in separation of the Church and State. All leaders claim God is on their side, but are they really on God's side and what would Jesus do or Say. <BR/><BR/>Our President was a likable man who got elected on sound bites(I take that back, Al Gore really got elected, but Bush won the vote count, compliments of brother Jeb)People elected Bush because he ran on a religious platform and was likable. "Don't take our Guns" and we have to fight terrorist, prayer in school and stances against abortion, qualified him most eyes. He really wasn't qualified to lead our country and people forget he was the one at the helm during 911, Even the Republicans seem to forget it. Initially President Bush did the right thing and went after Bin laden, but some how got distracted by the big oil interest and headed to Iraq.(2nd largest oil reserves in the world)Afghanistan has nothing but dirt and rock, nothing of value their unless you are into opium production. <BR/>(The more I read and see on conspiracy 911, the more I'm beginning believe there was a lot of collusion taking place, between those who stood to benefit most when the towers fell. I hate to think it, but it does now make me wonder. I used ascribed to the lone gunman theory of JFK, not until years later did I learn there might be other connections. Follow the truth and it will set you free. <BR/><BR/>Rudy runs on a campaign of fear, but wasn't he the Mayor during 9-11? Didn't he, Bush and Rice ignore the warnings a month before. How can he say he is the best choice protect us from terrorist, when he failed to do so in New York? The only Heroes of 911 where the firemen and rescue workes, not Rudy, yet the way he talks you would think he was there every day during the recovery period, he was only there for photo opts. Still he spent more time than our President in New Orleans. I think Rudy spent more time and interest with his mistresses. <BR/><BR/>...how much time did Mayor Giuliani spend at ground zero?<BR/><BR/>A complete record of Mr. Giuliani’s exposure to the site is not available for the chaotic six days after the attack, when he was a frequent visitor. But an exhaustively detailed account from his mayoral archive, revised after the events to account for last-minute changes on scheduled stops, does exist for the period of Sept. 17 to Dec. 16, 2001. It shows he was there for a total of 29 hours in those three months, often for short periods or to visit locations adjacent to the rubble. In that same period, many rescue and recovery workers put in daily 12-hour shifts.<BR/><BR/>So to hear Rudy talk, you would think he was there every day. <BR/><BR/>Obama, a man who comes from nowhere, went to school overseas, has no track record is no more qualified than Huckabee.<BR/><BR/>McCain- turns with the wind. After Bush smeared him in South Carolina, he changed from being the man he was and went over to the Dark Side. I used to like him, but now he has sold out, because Bush endorsed him, so all was forgiven. Now McCain is like a lot of the others, who will say whatever is necessary to get elected.<BR/><BR/>Mitt Romney- Anyone who follows Joseph Smith is not much different to me than those who follow Scientology. <BR/><BR/>I don't think I really will know who the vote for. It will be picking the more qualified candidate who is the lesser of two evils. I don't like Hillary, but as much as I hate to admit it, I think she may be the only one who is truly qualified. She's a smart woman(being a woman works against her in a man's world).She has always remained loyal to an unfaithful husband. When you think about it, let's say you had a cheating husband and you were running for office. You always been faithful. Would it be right not to vote for you because of your cheating husband? Or should we vote for you because you are qualified and have been loyal in your marriage. I think Hillary's only sin was trying to get universal health care for everyone. The insurance providers didn't like the thought and set out the spin doctors to destroy her personally. I have to admit, they've done a good job, because I don't like her, but then when I throw out my bias, even I have to say, she's qualified.<BR/><BR/> I'm still am not sure who my candidate is or will be, but I will vote for someone in November. <BR/>Good luck on voting and making a choice for the lesser of the evils. God I hope it's not Hillary, but it's looking that way so far. <BR/><BR/>the lone wolf,<BR/><BR/>StewartAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
