What I want to see from my President…
Sadly, I am not impressed at all with the candidates of the 2008 Presidential election. As a matter of fact, I am more scared of the individuals involved with these upcoming elections. So, I have come up with a list of the traits that I want to see in a candidate. Realistic or not, this candidate would get my support 100%.
I want to a candidate that would:
- Supports a small government
- Supports women’s rights and their rights to choose
- Supports a strong military, but will not attack unless physically provoked
- Someone that holds the American people accountable for their actions, putting a higher limit on welfare and the amount of time it can be recieved
- Someone who gives back to the country, keeping the people informed of the issues at hand
- Someone who will reform Congress and the Senate
- Hold the elected individuals accountable for their actions in both houses, such as with attendance.
- Limit spending or governmental money that is unnecessary towards the job of the representatives
- Lower the salaries of the individual representatives and make it harder for raises to be voted for
- Someone that will support a “Green” America
- More support for research into eco-friendly technology
- More suppot for eco-friendly companies
In the end, I guess it’s a little too much to ask for a perfect moderate. Someone in the middle. Maybe someday we will see this government stop screwing the American people over. Both parties scare me. Both parties have policies that only come across as failures about to happen. Maybe someday it will change.
