Which Candidates Do You Like?

Posted: Mar 1, 2014

It seems most threads begin with something or someone people don't like - I'm more interested in what/who you do like? :) I don't know of anyone on the horizon that would fit the bill, but I'd like to see someone who isn't a party puppet - someone that isn't afraid to step outside of party lines to put the country first, rather than party politics - but they'd lose financial support if they did. And let's not forget all those lobbyists' money they'd be losing ;) Ever read "Where Have All The Leaders Gone" by Lee Iacocca? I've yet to read the entire book, but this is a man I'd vote for. I also liked some things Ron Paul wanted to do regarding government spending, as well as Chris Christie's stance on focusing on his hurricane-torn state rather than the 2012 presidential election - that is until this current scandal. I won't say more about him because I don't know enough yet about his possible involvement. However, it did appear that both parties seemed to lie in wait to crucify the man, possibly for what they already do every day, as politicians, after he took that Sandy stance. (Not that I think shutting down the Washington Bridge is ever okay, as part of political warfare, but unfortunately, I believe this kind of thing goes on every day in politics anyway and both parties couldn't wait to find some dirt) It's much like "Tucker" or "Delorean" and "The Big Three" car companies - anyone new, trying to do something different, would be shut down for even trying to step outside the box, and if no dirt could be found, they'd create it, quote them only partially and twist it beyond all recognition. ;
