You know as we get close to the 2008 elections, it's no secret that for the most part i don't like any of these people and come election day it'll be a miracle if the 2 choices i'll have before me in the booth will have impressed me enough to want to vote at all.

so what do i want for a president?

Jim Leyland. Just kidding, in all seriousness?

Give me a president who is there to serve the very people who elected them in the first place, not somebody who is in for a powertrip or a bigger paycheck.

Give me a president who will make taxes even for all classes, no more of this taxing the higher,middle or lower classes exclusively,

Give me a president with enough fortitude to tell the rest of the world that we are the United States of America and flat out? we will not be messed with,we will not do what you tell us, and we sure as hell will not hand ourselves over to the failed world government that is the United Abominations...err..i mean nations.

Give me a president that when faced with war, or conflict will end it quickly,decisively and without mercy. lollipops and teddy bears do not win wars. Soldiers, alot of bullets and a world of hurt for the enemy will.

Give me a president who can take all the idiots in the press who tout on about "what did he know and when did he know it." a nice big middle finger. yes thats vulgar, but then again, the mass media's behavior and actions have been exactly over the past 20 years.

Give me a president who tells congress that we have to carry on the business of the people, not special interests,not stupid laws and "feel good" legislation. give me a man who make sure those people in congress remember the words "of the people for the people by the people" each day when they walk into work. and that phrase wasn't said in the constitution because it sounded catchy or "cool".

And lastly?, Give me a president who will mind the borders of his homeland,give me a man who can help those in need without compromising our security, our borders and our jobs. period.

and frankly? if you don't like this? i have three words for you

Leave My Country

I’m with you.

Y’know, Costa Rica is starting to look pretty good lately.

Your name has given me an idea in these dark times. With nothing but liberals left fighting for the GOP nomination I was planning on writing in Fred Thompson.

But I realized: screw that.

Dave Mustaine for President

In your heart, you know he's right.

There is always a Plan B for true conservatives to start thinking about, if this McCain actually gets the RINO nomination:

It’s looking more and more like I am going to be voting for a third party. The only thing I can think of right now that might make me change my mind is if McCain were to nominate Romney or someone to the right of Romney for VP. But Huckabee won’t do.

Things are going to get bad.

I hope this country can survive what’s coming in the next four years.

Several states, including my own, are marked “cannot start yet.”

Any idea what that means?

"I understand the polls show only 18 percent of the American people support my position. But I have to do what's right, what I believe is right and what my experience and knowledge and background tells me is the right thing to do in order to save this situation in Iraq... In war, my dear friends, there's no such thing as compromise. You either win or you lose." - Sen. John McCain, December, 2006

At this point the best we can hope for is that Fred will be McCain’s VP.

It (probably) must mean the ballot qualification period has not started yet. A number of the state level parties, GOP and Democrat, have colluded to make state requirements very tough for parties outside of the Chosen Two establishment parties. It figures.

I hope so. Right now I am seriously pessimistic about the future of our country.

There are so many ignorant citizens who actually think they’re well informed it’s astounding.
