Lately the news (NBC Nightly News is what we watch) has been talking about the Republication candidates for president and has said that while Giuliani is the front runner, the conservative base has no clear candidate. They keep bringing Pat Buchanan in to say that conservative Christians have no clear candidate. Basically this means that no candidate has the same views on the 2 issues that appear to matter to them, abortion and gay marriage. Am I missing something or is that all they talk about? I find it ridiculous to vote for anyone just to vote along party lines or for 2 issues as there are so many issues affecting our country. While I’m not a Republican (nor am I a Democrat), Giuliani (and for that matter Schwarzenegger, though he can’t run for president), don’t really scare me because they seem to stand up for what they believe and don’t just do what their parties say they should do.
I have no idea how things will turn out next year, but I want a president that can think (we clearly don’t have that now), and one that isn’t a puppet for his or her party.
