Breaking News.....
With Romney out, McCain was thought to have nailed the republican nomination, but forgetting to turn the mic off at a press conference, he says something that destroys his chances leaving Huckabee and Paul to battle it out.
Anyways, back to the real world.......
The problem is that if people voted for who would actually be a good president, none of the current candidates would be where they are. Instead, we vote for who has a chance to win? Who decides who has a chance to win? I have said this before, but we are not voting for the presidency here, it's the nomination. You don't get extra points for voting correctly as to who gets the nomination. None of these canidates are perfect. They all have flaws. Name 5 perfect presidents. Any 5. Because no matter who you say I will bet I can find people who disagree with you.
In fact, I would venture to say that the better the canidate is to be president, the less likely his/her chances of becoming the POTUS are. Because a perfect president would make decisions based solely on the constitution, defend America and her principles valiantly, not provide for the people, but instead create an enviorment for the people to take care of themselves, and instill pride in the Country's accomplishments while setting tangible and proper goals for the future. The reason this person will never make it to office, is because the lobbiests couldn't influence them, big business couldn't buy them, special interest couldn't sway them and so all of the groups would expend their energy fighting them and of course would win through use of the media, internet, and such.
If you feel McCain is the best choice vote for him, If you think Paul is do the same. Or Huckabee. If you feel it is inevitable for a single person to win and inevitable for a certain person not to, then why bother voting at all?
didn't mean to hijack this, just wanted to say it.
