Who for President in 2004? Do I get 30 minutes free Internet time if I answer this correctly?

I'm not so much interested in a 'who' as I am in in the protection and enforcement the Constitution, a return of the rule of law to the states and turning the clock back on the size of and involvement of big government in our lives.

The weight and burden imposed on honest, normal, average citizens is increasing every day. At the same time, the burden on drop-outs, misfits, perverts, criminals and government free-loaders is getting proportionally lighter. I stand in line at a grocery store and watch people who don't even speak English getting large quantities of food with Food Stamps. Food which I normally can't even budget.

Those sworn to uphold the Constitution and represent us have reneged and taken the position that they represent the government TO us. I'm looking for a government which does not put government policy over the Constitution.

To most people, just getting government off of their backs and being left alone to prosper, unencumbered by government policy and tyranny would be relief enough. But no, those in government, including Mr. Bush, continue to play shell games with our liberties and God given rights.

It is probably impossible to elect someone who will do the above. The voter pool is so diluted and polluted with 'takers' that a return to the rule of law is no longer possible. Also, I will always have a healthy distrust of people elected to any office.

Besides, it's too early to tell who all is going to be running in 2004.

I understand everything you said, and agree with a lot of it, especially your words I selected above. That was the point of my question, it is impossible- yes, impossible, to find someone who will do all of those things. (You didn't name anyone.) Call me negative, but there has to be a give and take. I don't like it either, but that's the way it is. Short of advocating revolution, it will not change. I look back at many of Reagan's policies that I would have disagreed with, however (had I been old enough,) I know that I would not have criticized him for it. (President Reagan could have shut down the Dept. of Education too, just to name one example). I simply feel that I have to look at the BIG picture. George W. Bush is doing an excellent job as president.
(Your 30 minutes begin----- now!)
