As those of you have been following other political threads know, I'm having a difficult time with my decision on who to vote for in the presidential election. Just for giggles, I took the quiz here, to see who I side the most with. I was a little surprised at the results. Try for yourself to see. Answer as many questions as possible, and don't forget to use the "how important is this to you" bar on the left, to get the most accurate results. Here's the link:

Re: President 2012
It's becoming clear to me that when I cast my vote for President, I'm going to have to relax my criteria, because otherwise I would not vote for Pres. Here's my criteria that I can't "practically" go by:
Trying to be the most practical, and still keeping with a clear conscience, I'm finding one candidate rising to the top of my list. And quite frankly I'm surprised on who it is. I'm still trying to decide though. He's the one who I sided the most with on the quiz on my last post. It was over 90% on the quiz.1) the candidate has to have the political views I share.
2) the candidate has to be trustworthy in my view.
3) the candidate has to have a legitimate chance to win.

Re: President 2012
On the basis of the economy, national debt, importance of a balanced budget, financial understanding, energy acquisition and drive towards our energy independence, nomination of judges, and his current stated views on abortion (and his stated sensibilities on nominating judges) make me believe that Romney is a far better choice on these important issues. Romney is highly unlikely to later alienate his base of those who will (hopefully) get him into office - meaning his choices of judges alone could make a tremendous difference for good. Now, could Romney say one thing and then do another? Certainly! But I have to play the odds, that Romney will stay aligned with the sensibilities of those that elect him. A president can do nothing without his political base - which is why it is very unlikely that Romney would later alienate his own. We just can't wait on a perfect candidate, we must and SHOULD choose amongst the choices God has given us.
Also, I well know what disastrous results we've had with Obama, and we KNOW his "values," intentions, and his utter cluelessness on economic issues. For such reasons, I can't see why any Christian would vote for him - certainly not anyone who has been paying close attention, nor one who understands financial/debt matters. The debt issue alone, if not quickly and comprehensively addressed with a strong plan to aggressively turn it in the opposite direction, may well - and VERY soon - turn out to be a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions. And, over four years, Obama and Co. has had NO plan to address it, nor does he seem to even understand the magnitude of the danger it presents. Four years, no plan, no leadership, and another 4-5 trillion dollars in debt, in just one term. Just think of the further damage he may well do with another term and no possibility of another beyond that one! These aren't just abstract, meaningless issues, but ones that, if not addressed, will make for a very scary future.

Re: President 2012
Ok, I've just eliminated one candidate from having any chance to get my vote. At least 3 times a day, I get phone calls from unlisted numbers. When I pick up, I get nobody there. Sometimes they hang up after the answering machine answers. You morons don't have to call 3 times a day EVERYDAY, to remind me to vote. I'm going to vote, but now your candidate won't get my vote for sure.

I wonder what would happen if all voters voted for whom they believed would make the best president? Would this 2 party sham we now have, be done away with? It's too bad people choose to vote for whom they think is the lesser of two evils. Either Dem or Rep. If everyone just voted for whom they agree with...

Re: President 2012
I'm wholeheartedly in the mindset of "do what you want without infringing on others." Gary Johnson certainly says that's his belief. However, I'm still a bit iffy about him.
I'm strongly against political parties in general, really. I refrain from calling myself a member of any particular party, since the basic instinct of the voting public is to apply me to everyone else in that party or vice versa. I like people to know nothing about me until I explain, in detail, what I believe
