    I will be voting for Ron Paul. He is anti-war, wants to lower taxes for the middle class and poor, voted no against the Patriot Act, voted no against the amendment banning gay marriges. He believes the United States should have a non-intervenionlist forgien policy where we trade and negiote with other countries instead of fighting useless wars where so many innocent people die. He wants to drastically reduce the debt the United States is in and restore our country to the democracy it once was. Finally we have a voice for the people.. one that isn't backed by corporations and lobbyists.. but by the people.. Ron Paul is a man of his word.. just check his track record.. He knows where he stands on the issues, unlike other canidates whose stances seem to change from week to week.. I truly believe he can boost the morale of this country and restore a democracy for the people not just for the elite...

    Ron Paul. He wants to lower taxes and get the federal government out of every aspect of our lives.

    For 70 years the federal government has increased their power and control over the people of the country, leading to evasions of privacy, higher taxes, an out of control budget, ever increasing debt, illegal wars, etc. The other candidates for President in 2008, Republican and Democrat, represent the status quo of corporate government that will lead to fewer freedoms for every-day Americans.

    I'm voting for Ron Paul because the status quo and "staying the course" are NOT acceptable.

    I would vote for John Mccain if the election was held today. HE is the only candidate that would get my vote right about now. Even though Mike Huckabee did impress me a little in the last debate.

    Barack Obama because he is intelligent, analytical, and he would make a great president. He is a breath of fresh air, and he has many new ideas that he could bring to Washington. He also has what it takes to take down the Political Action Committees in Washington. His campaign actually doesn't accept any money from PAC's! He will put America's priorities back in the right places: issues such as education, health care, poverty, the environment, and crime. And he will take us out of the horrible senseless war in Iraq.

    Obama..I haven't been paying much attention to the candidates so if I was forced to vote now that would be who I know the most about.

    Brownback. He wants to reduce taxes so we can have more money to increase the economy (and of course more taxes are paid when we spend) most people give the government almost 40% of their money through all the taxes.
