For Whom Will You Vote?

Have you made up your mind yet? Are you one of those die-hard party people who vote strictly with your party and never deviate, no matter what smacked ass happens to be representing it? Or are you like me, unsure of which of the two evils is lesser?

Here's what I want from a Presidential candidate:
  • someone who will bring my son's best friend and his younger brother (both Army National Guard), and all of our military for that matter, home for good and not deploy them overseas in the fall
  • someone who will lower the freaking gas prices!
  • someone who will lower the price of everything under the sun so that we can shop for groceries without taking out a home equity loan
  • someone who will work for peace in the world and erase our country's rep of being the bully in the playground
  • someone who will take care of our military vets and their families
  • someone who will pass realistic gun laws that actually get guns out of the hands of lunatics, or better yet....
  • ...someone who sends the gun-wielding lunatics overseas in place of our beloved military, so they can shoot to their hearts' content. They can even bring their own guns.
  • someone who cares about our environment and its future
  • someone who believes in "one nation under GOD"
  • someone who gives a shit about the "little people" and not lobbyists, special interest groups, mistresses, or personal bank accounts.

I am not asking for much. Just some honesty, integrity, compassion, flexibility, honor and respect.

Good Lord. I guess I AM asking for alot.

The only person I can think of who meets these criteria is...wait, give me a minute. I'm thinking. It's on the tip of my tongue....ahhhhh, I got it......

No one.

We're screwed.
