I have four criteria for a Presidential Candidate aside from their political positions.
Public sector executive experience, private sector executive experience, being a veteran and the candidate cannot belong to a genocidal party like the Democrats or the NAZIs.
We all choose candidates based on our perception of their political positions, pro-life, pro-national security, anti-poverty, etc, etc.
I am pro-Choice and anti-abortion. I am pro-legalization, regulation and taxation of the recreational drug market. I am pro-2nd amendment. I am anti-Rico act. I want to see the slave trader removed from the $20 and replaced with MLK. I want to see prisons used only for repeat violent offenders. I want to see us stomp Iran into the ground for their actions in 1980 and their support of terrorism today. I want to see school vouchers and educational accountability including GED requirement for graduating High School. I believe the United States is founded on freedom of Religion and built with Christian principles.
There will never be a candidate who believes everything I believe in, so I choose the candidate I think can win that fits my criteria and shares some of my beliefs.
Do you have any other criteria you use to choose the candidate you are going to vote for.
Andrew “jacka*s” Jackson made his living as a slave trader from 1804 to 1813.
Jackson’s political symbol, the donkey, is still used by the Democratic party today.
You can read a biography of Jackson scanned by gutenberg.org at gutenberg.org.
I voted for Nader once. Since Clinton won in 1992 and went after gun owners to the point where McVeigh felt he had to blow up the Murrah building in Oklahoma City I tend to vote Republican, but, if I felt a third party candidate could win I would vote for them.
I don’t ever want to see Clinton’s government excesses or FDR’s fascism repeated.

Wonder who Im voting for?
I usually vote for the guy who I believe is both good for this country and the world and good for me personally. Then I decide who is lying the least and who can get what he plans through congress. At this point I am ready to put a cloths pin on my nose and pull the lever.
Well first, I like to look at their fiscal plan, and how it will affect the economy.
Then I like to see where they stand on diplomacy vs. strong “defense” (which is always offense now). How willing are they to talk, and can they convince me they know when to stop talking and start intimidating or start fighting.
And then I like to remember that they are politicians, who are only in it for themselves. And then I remember that they are human; and that despite our impressive intelligence, we have to be the stupidest creatures on this planet, because no other creature on this planet is so hell-bent on self-destruction.
And finally I come to the conclusion that we’d better d*mn well hope there is a God, because no one else can save us…
