“I look at the candidates, and there really is no acceptable second choice to me”

You said it!

I, too, have respect for those running. But, their records and their changes of positions have left me wanting. I was relieved when FDT got into the race.

As for the opposition, I have respect for a few of them as well.

Mostly, I respect Obama. He has been consistent on nearly every issue. He has been consistently wrong on those issues, but he does not stick his finger in the wind to see where he should head each day.

Fred Thompson is consistent as well.

I know where he stands, and could bank on it.

Obama is consistent as you say. He's not as forthcoming as I'd like because he and I both know that would doom him. The man is a liberal. I think HRC is slightly less of one because she looks out for herself first. Obama believes we have a federal government in order to shift money around to the people he thinks should get it.

But unlike the other dems, at least I know he's what he is--a socialist.

Fred is just so what I hoped he would be. And he's also a man who isn't ashamed of being one, unlike Edwards, or a man who thinks he has to appease women and homosexuals in order to "seem" like he's less of some stereotypical white guy.

None of which would convince me to vote for him. He just happens to agree with me on just about every issue.
