Until someone steps up that is truly the "best candidate" we will continue along the same path as in the last few elections. We vote either for the lesser of two evils or we vote against someone. The best candidate either doesn't run, doesn't have the financial means to run, or is branded a radical or lunatic from the start. We desperately need a candidate, be it man or woman, that will not only give we the people straight talk, but stop with all the BS and waste in government. We need someone to stand up and take charge instead of being a puppet for lobbyists or SIG's. O-blame-a is not that man, neither is McCain. Candidates undergo such unimaginable scrutiny that if they passed gas in church they are exposed. Honestly I don't care if you smoked weed when you were in college back in 1970. If you can manage this country, I really don't care what race, creed, color, religion, or financial status you are. If you can stand up and admit when you are wrong, apologize, and not do it again, please step forward and accept my vote. If you can make a decision without having to worry about offending a few people if it makes the whole country better, step forward. If you can handle the pressure of knowing that there will be thousands of people that hate your guts, step forward. If you can speak up and tell those that threaten us that they will be removed from this planet if they continue and have the courage to back it up, step forward. If you believe that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, step forward. If you think that people should be held accountable for their own actions including CEO's of companies that rape the consumer, step forward. If you think that people who are getting government assistance should be drug tested regularly because working folks are, step forward. If you think that welfare should be a 90 day plan instead of a way of life for generations, step forward. If you think that people who are actually working and doing their best to make a living have earned help more than the lazy people who want everything for free, step forward. If you think that illegal immigrants should be transported back from where they came until they can learn the language and pass the qualifications to come here and become citizens, step forward. If you think that pressing 1 for English is insulting, step forward. If you think that the USA is the greatest country in history and will not tolerate anything less, step forward. This is a country of the people, by the people, and for the people. It wasn't the will of those who left England and started from scratch to be in the shape we are in now. Someone, please step forward.
