Adrenachrome, what qualifies someone to hold office, in your opinion?
Well, I recognize great speechmaking abilities are somewhat important, but I see a strong need for the person to believe in the constitution, and follow the philosohies of the men who made this great country possible, they fleed their homelands for freedom. Freedom from high taxes, freedom to practice their own religion, freedom to choose their own way of life. Just freedom from government.

They laid it out on paper, all of the things that were universally nessicary for freedom to exist, the most important thing to me is a smaller federal government. Mostly because when a state makes the rules you have a much bigger vote, when a state decides to do something you don't like you can move to a state that you want to live in. When the federal government bears down on the people you lose controll of the government, our government was designed to be of the people, not to the people. Competetion between states to me is important.

Foreign policy would be another important background to me. I don't feel that we should be involved in all these Nations internal affairs, I'm all for a big strong military, but not pushing weight all over the world, no sir.

We are not talking about senate duties, or teaching college students, we are talking about the Commander and Chief of the entirety of our armed forces.

Someone who is clear in their intentions.. Someone who recognizes individuals instead of special groups, I think group mentalities are a big problem.

I don't know, You are likely going to reply with some sort childish remark attacking me personally. If so, just save it that crybaby shit won't hurt my feelings.
