I see why virtually no one wants to talk about politics here

[ScaliaFan]

It is because they actually FEAR the candidates

at least one anyway

You might as well admit it..

God help us if either of the front-runners wins. As you may know Gary Johnson is running as Libertarian. He gets my vote b/c he doesn't have all that corruption and lying...

I do not fear. I'm bored with dirty politics.

I have been wondering if America has passed the point of no return. Should someone restore sanity to the government how would the people react to those policies? Wouldn't there be rioting in the streets and our cities burn? A candidate I would support might end up doing more harm than good.

So is America like a terminally I'll patient who can't receive an operation that may save it due to the strain it would cause in its body? Is it better for America to maintain the status-quo than try to fix everything?

i do not u/stand that first paragraph. How can a good candidate do more harm than good.. unless u r saying u dont support a good one.

dont support Cruz?

next best one is Gary Johnson

yeh, i hear ya

bored and concerned.. but i wonder if it does any good to be concerned.. evil people outnumber good ones.. it has always been that way throughout history

or as Jesus said

There are not many who make it.. Mt 7 etc..

Can you expect a candidate who is good to receive the support of the american people? For example the country could have been better if we kept prohibition, but because people are evil we can't go without our booze. That is an extreme case just to make a point. The greed of the people will insure the handouts keep coming, and if they stop there will be violence.

I think Cruz was a good candidate, and I would prefer him over Trump.

i tend to agree but think Prohibition is a poor example in making yr point

that is b/c alcohol is good for you in small amounts.. marijuana... probably not

in any case.. yeh, the people are like their leaders.. Ignorant parents have raised their children to be spoiled monsters who think they can say whatever they want to whomever they want and never pay any consequneces with either God or man... and so now they like this person who does the same.. (running for pres)

we are pathetic...

Do you see any of the candidates who belongs to Jesus? I am tired. They do not know Jesus, nor would they do the commands of Jesus.

well, we had Cruz

now we have Gary Johnson who is not what i would ask for but nobody ever asks what it is that i ask for in a candidate... no one consults me. They should, but they don't

If David French runs, i will vote for him. He writes for National Review, is a veteran (proof he cares about his country..) and a Christian (not sure which "brand").. and hey, he works for Nationa Review (I think anyway.. pretty sure)

he is conservative.. and an attorney (i like presidents to be attorneys)

but i dont know if he has made up his mind to run.. Mitt Romney backs him.. with $$.. and i htink others do also..

I'm certainly not voting for either of the front runners

David,

Here in Australia we have genuine Christian candidates standing for federal parliament (not Prime Minister) in the federal election for House of Representatives and the Senate that is held next Sat.

We don't vote directly for the Prime Minister. The Party that wins power votes in the party room for the leader, the PM.

Today my wife and I completed postal votes and we chose Christian candidates.
