Adrenachrome, what qualifies someone to hold office, in your opinion?

Well, I recognize great speechmaking abilities are somewhat important, but I see a strong need for the person to believe in the constitution, and follow the philosohies of the men who made this great country possible, they fleed their homelands for freedom. Freedom from high taxes, freedom to practice their own religion, freedom to choose their own way of life. Just freedom from government.

They laid it out on paper, all of the things that were universally nessicary for freedom to exist, the most important thing to me is a smaller federal government. Mostly because when a state makes the rules you have a much bigger vote, when a state decides to do something you don't like you can move to a state that you want to live in. When the federal government bears down on the people you lose controll of the government, our government was designed to be of the people, not to the people. Competetion between states to me is important.

Foreign policy would be another important background to me. I don't feel that we should be involved in all these Nations internal affairs, I'm all for a big strong military, but not pushing weight all over the world, no sir.

We are not talking about senate duties, or teaching college students, we are talking about the Commander and Chief of the entirety of our armed forces.

Someone who is clear in their intentions.. Someone who recognizes individuals instead of special groups, I think group mentalities are a big problem.

I don't know, You are likely going to reply with some sort childish remark attacking me personally. If so, just save it that crybaby shit won't hurt my feelings.

I'd have to say, our current situation is still better than what we had 200+ years ago overseas, I wouldn't even compare it to being even remotely similar now.

The generalities that have paved the way for this country are not necessairly applying to today's standards. I'm sorry but if you can't notice that our society, technologies and envoirment is rapidly changing, our constituion should not be viewed as a set in stone document, but as a living document that should be ever changing to suit our needs and evolution.

Foreign policy would be another important background to me. I don't feel that we should be involved in all these Nations internal affairs, I'm all for a big strong military, but not pushing weight all over the world, no sir.

Foreign policy? Foreign policy? Foreign policy? I'm so fucking tired of hearing about this. How much foreign policy did Bush have when he was reelected twice? You say that you don't feel we should be involved in all these "nations affairs" and yet don't mind that we're in Iraq trying to good-guy our presence in there, moronic? A strong mililtary is a good thing, but when you fill your government with leaders that are ignorant with their power nothing is going to go right..

Correct, which is why electing a female that is obsessed with power and uses the same dirty ass tricks of the other party, and you have a senior citizen with a grude being held against his captors from 50 years that he refferrs to in every speech, neither of them deserve this position. We need a level headed thinker who isn't going to put us into a perdicament that we are in at this current date and time.

It sounds adametly like you are describing Obama, not a flip-flopping pos like McCain.

Not really, I'm just tired of hearing the same arguments from the righty's, it's very repetitive.
