I never grew up thinking I am a Democrat or Republican but, looking at the presidential candidates over the years, I found myself always leaning towards the Democratic side. So while I can consider myself a Democrat because of this, I recognize the fact that we can't always have a Democrat in office. Looking at the current front runners on the Republican side, I really feel like I need to urge Republicans to find better candidates. Sure a better candidate would mean Obama might not win, but if someone has a chance to run our country you have to do better.
Gingrich and Romney both seem like deplorable men. Gingrich seems lost in a cloud confusion and old man angst, where Romney's mega rich status seems to be surrounded by awful business practices leading me to be worried how he might wield a presidential appointment for financial gains.
I don't know much about Santorum but, I do like Ron Paul, even though he is laughable at times, he does seem like an honest person, giving opinions that seem placed in honest convictions not, political motivated embellishments. His views may be radical but, I would rather have an honest radical in office than a richey, wanting to help others get richer and a man who has divorced 3 times.
This isn't an attack on Republicans, I just sincerely want a strong candidate from both partys competing to run our Nation.
