If you’re not sure who you want to support yet in the ‘08 Presidential Race here are some handy “quizzes” that help match up your political views with the Presidential candidates. Some of the quizzes are better than others, but after taking a few you should be able to hone in your top candidates. Then with a little more research you should have no problem figuring out who is your candidate of choice!
I really like what I’ve heard so far from Ron Paul. So much so that even as a life long Democrat I plan on pulling a Republican ticket in the primary, just so I can vote for him. On almost every single issue I am in total agreement with his ideas and proposed policies. I truly believe this is the man our country needs to be in charge at this crucial time in history.
His common sense and unwavering values are something that Washington has sorely lacked for some time. His respect for that thing called the Constitution is also very refreshing. It’s been beat up a lot the last 6 years! So if you don’t know what Dr Paul is all about or you think he’s only a “marginal candidate” with “crazy ideas” please check out his website and take a look at his views on all the issues. Don’t let the media tell you that this guy can’t win. Once you learn more I’m sure you’ll feel the same way I do and will be a Ron Paul supporter!
Slate’s Jack Shafer has a nice opinion piece (Bush or Keller?
Who do you trust?) summing up the current battles raging between President Bush and the Press (mostly the New York Times and LA Times). The title of the piece sums it up really nicely; is there anyone who really believes we can trust this administration?
This White House has broken both US and international law, lied to the American people, and has consistently sought more and more power for itself. For me the choice is simple.
