In this election as with the last, I find myself faced with a difficult choice as many of us likely do -- there are great things about each candidate, but I find it tough to get 100% behind either one. So, in my effort to find a better choice to vote for, I thought it would be great to build-my-own-candidate. Making a hybrid out of a few of them, here's my Rock Star Candidate:
(Warning - this list starts out fairly normal and gets a bit strange ...)
** Obama on diplomacy, McCain on foreign policy.
** McCain on education policy -- freedom, choice, competition are necessary.
** Ron Paul on economic policy -- stop this damned inflation, stagflation, etc.
** Obama and McCain on abortion -- let's reduce abortions as much as we can while being politically pragmatic. Conservatives lost the issue in the 70's and are unlikely to get it back entirely. However, we should all recognize that Roe v. Wade is the ultimate example of "legislating from the bench".
** The guy from Saw on domestic policy and Washington bureaucracy -- can't we make some real cuts here people?
** An orthodox Rabbi on earmarked funds -- Why a rabbi? NO PORK!!!
** Bruce Willis from Live Free or Die Hard for the Supreme Court -- if that guy defends the Constitution like he defends his daughter and the free world, maybe we'll have something left of it.
Ok - this is a bit unorthodox, but it's my rock star candidate. Have I left anything out? Hmm... let me know if you see anyone else to throw in the mix.
