Who is the better Candidate for POTUS

This year we have several choices for President of the United States. I am looking for a candidate who shares my values and beliefs. Who will stand up for America. I want someone who will not cater to those that come here ILLEGALLY and assume we will bow to their languages and beliefs. They left their previous country to come to ours for a BETTER life. If I were to leave and go to their country I would be expected to enter LEGALLY and assimilate myself into my new home. I have no problem with them sharing their Heritage. We are made up of diverse people but we also need to be reminded of the reason they came her. I want someone who will try to work to overhaul the Welfare system so that those that NEED it get help and those that DON'T will not be able to live off of it instead of working for a living. There is far too many duplicate programs that need to be overhauled so our money is used the best way possible. I want someone that values the lives of the unborn children and understands the CRIMINALS deserve punishment and not the VICTIMS. I want someone who will protect this Country from its enemies and not worry about appearances to cowtow to other countries.
I will not be voting for someone simply because she is a Woman, I liked her husband or the first Black man or Mormon to run. I will not be voting for someone who instead of committing to a vote by YEA or NAY they voted 'present'. This to me shows a lack values and unwillingness to show us where they stand.
I have not decided my vote yet but will definitely take into consideration their POSITIVE aspects of campaigns. I do not want someone who spends more time CRITICIZING the other candidates. Negativity by anyone turns me off to them. I have great respect for those that put themselves 'out there' for Americans and what we stand for as a NATION.

Annette,All I got to say is ditto! :) This is my first year voting and I am not sure who I like.I agree with what you are saying.It is going to be hard to choose.All we can do is pray God allows the right person for the job to be voted in and try to choose our vote wisely as my Aunt Kay would say. Have a great day!

Sure sound like a couple of Huckabee voters to me.

It's not so much that we need to make government smaller, its that government needs to do the freaking job(s) that we asked it to do. Secure our border already, put someone with a clue atop important agencies (like FEMA), spend more on intelligence thwarting terrorist attacks than experimenting with expanding Democracy halfway around the globe, and rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, to name a few. Smaller government won't be able to necessarily fix these problems - a BETTER, MORE EFFICIENT government might be able to though.
