THE NEGATIVE REACTION

WHO WILL I VOTE FOR?

This is the year of another presidentail election and I really have no idea who I'm going to back. The last two elections I voted for Bush. The first time I voted for Bush, I thought he was in a good position to really go after terrorits and have some good effect on the middle east and the whole Saddam Hussein issue. the second time I voted for him it was purely out of spite for the Liberals and Democrats who just went after him. I thought the Libs just didn;t have any idea of how to fight terrorism and would leave us vunerable to another 9/11 attack. Not to mention, they were going to raise taxes and they clearly had no idea how to fix social security. It was the year of the flip flops with the Democrats and it drove me crazy.

I've always fancied myself as an independent. I've voted pretty much for every party at one time or another. I jsut go with the party who I think will best run the country. Although I want a "fiscally" responsible government, I also want better environmental policies, I want us to get off our dpenedence of foreign oil, and also be tough on illegal immigration and terrorism.

I have no idea which candidate will do this the best. The election is only in the primaries and the last time I did one of those 2008 Presidential Candidate Quizes It said the best candidate for me was Fred Thompson.  Given he was nowhere to be found in any of the primaries so far, I'm kinda a little
nervous because if Fred isn't the nominee, i really don't know who I'll vote for.  I know I'm not voting for Hilary (too liberal for me) or Barack (no experience) .  Which I guess pretty much rules out voting Democrat - again.

Right now besides Fred Thompson, it looks like Mitt Romney is the closet thing I can get to an ideal candidate.

We'll see. . .
