I just have a gut feeling that a true wartime President is a must for the next Oval Office position and I don't have a warm fuzzy about what Sen Clinton or Sen Obama would do when the time comes to cross swords with Middle East, South America, China, N. Korea, or Russia. Sen Obama's resume is about three pages long and Sen. Clinton is dragging an impeached husband and all his lapses of bad decisions behind.

I don't care for Sen McCain's stand on border defense and a few other problems that he doesn't think is as important to the US public as we do. I will have to admit, with reservations, that he is simply the lesser of two evils. I think he will be quicker to meet force with force and be proactive in quick strikes if necessary.

A communist supported cold war is forming as we speak. Putin is issuing warnings to Europe and the US as well as supporting the spread of communism in Central and South America. Oddly enough, Markism and Islam have become entwined in a strange but completely evident coalition of destruction.

Then vote me in as a write in, first thing I'd do is fire congress and the senate, and read the constitution and follow it completely and to the letter.

First, you will need the powerful Judicial branch willing to work with you by interpreting the Constitution instead of re-writing it. That's one other reason I would vote conservative, these folks are just as important as a President's cabinet or the other Houses of Government. I want a conservative Supreme Court, not lefties, doing the interpreting.

You already have a Conservative Court, in fact its overwhelmingly to the Right. If you have read their rulings for the past 3 years they have tilted much more to the far-right than in the past 30 years.

Conservatives
Roberts, Alito, Scalia, Thomas, Kennedy

Moderates
Souter, Stevens (Both are Republicans)

Liberals
Ginsburg, Breyer

Personally I believe in a balanced court, so I would subtract a conservative and add another Liberal and Moderate each.

I'm not a big fan of Obama or Clinton either, but I'm also not too comfortable with McCain as president. First time I'm voting where I don't like any of the candidates (Romney nooooooo). Where's Mary Carey when you want to vote for her again?

"I have alot of problems with McCain."



MM - I am in a hurry, but at a quick glance your informative and detailed resume' of McCain apppears to mark him out as the ideal candidate for the next 4 years. Just what you need, don't treat age as the disadvantage, history says otherwise, doesn't it?

War-time President? He fits the bill, a steady hand on the tiller.

Apologies for interfering.

I can't vote and thank God I don't have to choose between the lot. But Obama does get a good review overhere and personally I hope he will be the next president. If he did or did not put his hand over his heart... it says absolutly nothing about his qualities of running the US. Clinton.. hmm.. I can't put my finger on it, but I have a funny feeling about her. I think she is less sincere then Obama.

P.s. by the looks of it Bush put his hands on his tummy. He must have been hungry

After the 8 year disaster that Bush created, why on earth would you want to cross swords with all these countries and regions? Who is going to pay for that? Our mutual friends in Nato? We have no beef with South America... Maybe building bridges would be a better option. And if I recollect correctly, Clinton was never impeached.

I plan on leaving it at that. Just making a point.

I can dream can't I? LOL
trust me the first 2 years of me being in charge would be hell, after that I'd be reelected as many times as I put my name on the ballot.
I'd explain, but I don't think I could put it in words that make any sense.

This is my reservation about politicians who promise CHANGE to garner big votes:

If it ain't broke --- it soon will be!
