Please explain who you think the best candidate(s) is/are for U.S. president, and why.

I'm not voting this time 'round. I have a "no politician" policy. Politicians are notoriously untrustworthy, so why should I vote for one?

Regular guys don't run for president anymore -- just multi-millionaire lawyers, who can't begin to empathize with normal citizens' plights.

No candidate has even managed to say the right things yet, let alone would likely carry them out if he/she did. For instance, not a single candidate running is a true conservative. (And it's funny how NONE of the liberal condidates will promise to remove the troops from Iraq by 2013! Hehe, that's what the Democrats want the MOST, and not even their own candidates will lie and tell them it's going to happen! :lol: It's so scarry when a liberal refuses to lie.)

I've decided I'm voting for Kucinich in the primaries, because he's the only one who actually has a good plan for healthcare.
Otherwise, I'll probably end up voting 3rd party....Fight the two-party system!

He works best as a depressant. At least from the short clip I saw of the GOP debate.

I am thoroughly disillusioned with the political process.

Ron Paul.

He knows what the Constitution says and doesn't want to use it like a doormat like the Fascist or Communist party.

I'd show this country what

but I'm the next worst choice.

I don't like any of 'em. I'm anticipating the election of a Democrat. I'm anticipating it will be Senator Clinton.
