The unfortunate truth is that we can find as many lapses in ethical and moral baggage with Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton as we can with many others.

So where does one go to find Pauly Pure to run as President? Jimmy Carter was pure enough to public ask forgiveness for lusting in his heart and he has been critized for being a poor presidential pick.

Let's get real here. What I keep asking myself is " Is what is being said by the critics regarding this presidential candidate materially effect the manner in which this candidate would conduct the people's business? We already know that any and all polticians in Washington and elsewhere are influenced by insider trading, lobbyist, unions, etc. They control and we can vote every one of them out but they will be replaced with another just like them save some few cases. We need term limits and as one reader wrote in response to the insider trading dilemma the best method is that in order for a candiate to accept a position in congress, Administration, et al they had to agree tat they would divest all of their holding except US Treasury bonds because that is the only way you could be certain they would represent voters interests ahead of their own...But those two solutions are not going to happen.

I am voting Republican come 2012 because the alternative whether Obama or clinton are simply unacceptable for America
