I haven't decided yet...none of them really seem to fit what I feel we need as a president.

I'm note voting for ANY democrat. I keep an eye on what they're bickering about but my vote will most likely go to a republican. The problem with the democrats is they can stop fighting within they're own party. Thats like putting a man with a nervous disorder in charge. Not to say republicans are perfect, they're to damn gung-ho to change something. What that something is seems to be a mystery to me.

Heres how I'm deciding my vote

My 1st priority for a president is someone who has a clear cut plan to safely exit Iraq and leave a strong national government in place.

Next is education, we need to spend money on raising the level of education in our nation. We have the most intelligent people in the WORLD right here. But the ratio of genius to dumbass is dismal. Obviously lengthening the school day is making matters worse, "No child left behind" is an abomination, and the intelligence levels and teaching skills of the average teacher are laughable. We need to elect a candidate that will spend money on researching new teaching methods that WORK.

The next big issue is gun control. I'm for a system that is simple and effective. What needs to happen is every gun should be fitted with a tracking device that will send a 911 signal to a police hub if removed. the restrictions that stand now should be left in place. Now do me a favor, Forget about your feelings on guns, forget about your political aliance and think like a criminal. Now you need a gun, your going to rob a near by store. You can purchase a gun at a licensed dealer, or you can talk to that shady guy you met in a bar the other day. Your going to go for the guy from the bar. Todays laws require a Firearms ID card to purchase a weapon at a dealer. To acquire one you have to be finger printed at a local police station and pass a background check. ANY...ANY...ANY felony automatically disqualifies you, and any drug or violent misdemeanor will also. So now your going to get the black market gun that is not traceable back to you. Therefor defeating ANY law put in place. who do gun laws effect and in some cases hurt, law abiding citizens.
Article [II.]
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

part 1 A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State
meaning a militia if our state need it

part 2 the right of the people to keep and bear Arms
meaning the right to own a weapon and use it

part 3 shall not be infringed.
meaning the government can not take away the afore mentioned rights in any degree or limit or inhibit the right to own a weapon


Next on my list of things to rant about, Health Care. National NO, Government assistance for senior citizen, absolutely. I'm talking about a %80 assistance for any medical related cost to anyone over 55.

Now on to Illegals, catch em, send em back. Increase border control, which creates jobs for Americans.

Out sourcing, Offer American companies Tax deductions for every 100 American citizens they employ.

alright thats all I can think of for now. like I said thats what I want, and I'm voting based on THAT not who's from where or who gets slammed less. thats it.
