What's Everyone looking For In A Candidate?

[BDBHoover]

I don't vote....... at all....... simply because I don't believe what the candidates ever say..... BUT.... If I was to ever vote I would want the following things:

Intelligence
Honesty
Integrity
Common Sense
To know what it's like to struggle on a daily basis
To have served in the military to know first hand of what the human cost is
To know what they are F*C*IN talking about when talking about the american people and what they need

To sum up what I want in a candidate I want a REAL American..... who has been through the trials and tribulations of the average american....

I like what Katt Williams had to say about presidential candidacy......
Why do we have to elect someone for 7 years? Why can't the american people just go without for a while..... do some "dating".... You know just let them run the country for a couple months to see how it goes and then maybe move on to someone else if it doesn't work out with them......

Anyway if anyone of the INGO members can convince me of a TRUE american candidate PLEASE feel free...... Good luck in convincing me but you never know.......

My ideal candidate would be an individual that believed in self-responsabilty and self-relience, some one that believes government has no right to tell a company how many MPG their vehicles make or how they run their company. My ideal candidate would not believe that he/she has to protect us from ourselves and would understand that the 2nd amendment is our carry permit. I want a candidate that believes that war is evil, yet a necessary evil that sometimes is an option that needs to be exercised, just not with the kid gloves. I want a candidate that believes the poor in this country have the same duty as the rich with the percentage of tax they pay, that doesn't believe in punishing an individual for succeeding. My candidate would believe that the benefits of legalizing drugs out way the cons. My candidate would know that he/she is human, and they're more then capable of making mistakes, and owns up to said mistakes instead of blaming the prior administration, natural disasters ect. ect. My candidate would leave the abortion and gay marriage decisions up to the individual states. My candidate would strengthen our borders, yet would also understand that the current immigration process needs to be reviewed. He/she would know that life isn't fair, and that the government isn't supposed to be a tool to make things fair. My candidate wouldn't believe that spending more then what you bring in is a wise fiscal move.

Most of all, my candidate would fully believe that this is the greatest country in the world, that not even our current socialist man-child president can break the American spirit.
