Wouldn't a better question be who doesn't scare you?
Edwards is a fakety "Face."
Clinton is a powerhungry manipulator.
Paul is an isolationist who would gut the government.
Romney's religion is scary.
Huckabee is scary religious.
Giuliani likes to wear dresses and crossdressers on the right have a bad track record.
And the rest of them are irrelevant, and people crazy enough to run for President when they have no shot are scary.
So, for me, Obama it is, as the least scary candidate. Though he is black... |

I'd say Kucinich but I just can't take the guy seriously. One thing is certain: if he actually became President we would finally find out what the government knows about Roswell that it still hasn't told us.
Ron Paul is a nut job. He'll likely go third party after he's gained more exposure at the Republicans' expense but he's no John Anderson. He reminds me a little of Ross Perot, although his ears seem to be normal.
Giuliani bothers me most because of his personal life. Here's an avowed Catholic who unceremoniously dumped his ex-wife, who's pro-choice, and who can't seem to recall how well he helped the firefighters in NYC.
Hillary doesn't scare me but Bill is beginning to. I mean, how much hyperbole can he dish out on his wife. Talk about atonement for past sins going over the top. Hillary is the smartest of her generation? I think not. And if she is so amazingly brilliant and adroit, why would she need Bill to point it out? On the other hand, it would be amusing to see what Bill would do on his diplomatic junkets away from his wife's glare.
Frankly, I can't find one candidate in either party I can really admire at this juncture. |

I highly doubt that. I'm 100% sure Maria has informed him of the Constitutional requirement that a candidate be a natural-born citizen.
He's risen as high as he can go. (I'm operating on the assumption that a state governor has more power than any Cabinet position.) |
He might run against Barbara Boxer for the Senate next year. Wish he would wait a few years and go against Feinstein.
Regardless, I think being gov of CA is more powerful than being a Senator from here. |

I was liking Ron Paul until the past few weeks. His supporters are on the crazy side...IGTG and what he said about Huckabee's Christmas ad.
"It reminds me of what Sinclair Lewis once said. He says, 'when fascism comes to this country, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross.' Now I don't know whether that's a fair assessment or not, but you wonder about using a cross, like he is the only Christian or implying that subtly. So, I don't think I would ever use anything like that."
What an idiotic comment. |

There is an extreem element in the US that would use the government to impose its personal values, which they characterize as "Christian," without regard to the fact that most real Christians don't agree. Huckabee wraps up those values in the flag and the cross and promises to force them onto America.
Huckabee sees no limits to the use of force by government and only wishes to be in control of what the government does. Huck is not against big government, so long as it's HIS brand of big government. So, that is a type of fascism. statism, socialism or communism - all of which promise to use the state to control the individual and are therefore all the same.
Jesus asked his disciples to follow him. He didn't force them at the point of a gun. |

| I'd say Paul, Huckabee, or Romney, but I don't think any of them is electable, and Giuliani is effing terrifying, so I'll go with him. |

| Clinton probably the most, if only for the continuation of the Bush/Clinton dynasty. Of course, regardless of who is elected, there will be very little difference in overall policy, Ron Paul being the exception. |

It's how it has worked throughout history. Why would it change now? |

Even Ron Paul was embarrassed by this quote when being interviewed by Tim Russert. After seeing the actual video, Paul backed off from his statement.
So, yeah, I think Paul in private would agree that it was a pretty idiotic comment on his part. |
