It's so stupid to put so much faith in any politician because when it comes down to it they all just want money and power. The idea isn't to look for a politician who will act like a saint but rather a politician who will do whatever it is that is in his best interest that will benefit us as well.
Someone with the consistent voting record is someone that I put a lot more trust in than any other candidate...

Money and power? Is that why Ron Paul wants to shrink the size of government drastically?? I guess so? George Bush spoke that we didn't need to police the world, one of the things that Ron Paul advocates, but bush said nothing about limited government. Our founders knew what would happen when the government has too much power, and so does Ron Paul. And so should we if we're paying attention...But most people aren't so I guess we don't need a president who will fix the problems rather than creating more.
