Why I don't like anyone

I wasn't going to get political on Super Tuesday (or ever) but I thought I'd share why I don't like any of the major candidates. I must also say that Miguel's endorsement for a candidate was inspiring. I wish I had someone to endorse but all of the candidate's negatives are outweighing their positives.

Ninety percent of what follows comes from what I've heard from the candidates mouths on the radio (mostly NPR) or from debates on TV. The rest comes from internet sources.

...

Clinton - Wants to create a billion dollar fund for ARM victims, and wants socialized health care which would mean a massive increase in taxes. Emigration will be a good option if she's elected.

Obama - He's naive thinking we can pull out of Iraq in 16 months. He has similar tax and health care policies as Clinton. He wants to give 10 times more money than Clinton to those who defaulted on ARM's. That infuriates me. He's for giving illegal immigrants in-state tuition. I would love for someone to tell me that's not what he meant. Does he really think a single illegal immigrant should receive tuition before all legal or natural citizens are taken care of? He's also done cocaine, which everyone seems to give him a free pass on. I don't want two coke-head president in a row. I will admit he is the most charming and best public speaker of the candidates.

Paul - Opposes legalizing illegal immigrants that are already here and working. He also wants to legalize gold and silver as legit currencies. He thinks an immediate pull-out of Iraq would solve the region's problems. I'm also tired of his supporters ruining social networking sites by plastering his stories everywhere. Obama supporters are similarly annoying.

Huckabee - He wants to stay in Iraq until we've "won." Just when you think he can't say anything stupider, he wants to eliminate income tax, social security tax, and Medicare tax and replace them with a special type of sales tax. At a speech last week, he tore apart a 1040 form as the audience cheered. I put my hand on my forehead and sighed.

Romney - Supports sending more troops to Iraq, and wants to expel illegal immigrants immediately. He's also interested in instituting caps on carbon emissions but only if, "other countries go along." He pushes his religion too much. We don't need another president who claims to "talk to God."

McCain - I actually like most of what he says, but every now and then he proves he's an insane crotchety old man not capable of running a laundromat, let alone the country. He thinks it would be worthwhile to stay in Iraq for 1000 years if necessary. He flip flops on many issues (on things that don't affect me like abortion and gay rights.)
