Honestly Curious

[jackofallgeeks]

I'm fairly certain that pretty much no one out there on my friends' list has much good to say about the Republican candidates, but I also know that most of you tend to be well-reasoned and intelligent, so: I'm curious what any of you might have to offer as far as thoughts on these presidential hopefuls. What sounds good, what sounds bad, that sort of thing. I'll accept commentary on the Democrat (or Independent) hopefuls as well, but a lot of what I do know about Them makes me rather uncomfortable as it is. Be that as it may, I'd be curious if you know of things I might particularly like (or dislike) about them.

I know I won't be much help, but I thought I'd pipe in with the "underwhelmed" crowd.

In general:

I disagree with more of the Republicans' policies than I'd have expected (a few years back, I'd have considered myself Republican. Ask me now? All I can say is "non-partisan". I've become jaded to politics).

Though I find a number of the Democrats to be very likable (particularly Obama and Kucinich), there are too many important (for me) issues which I can't, in good conscience, compromise with them on.

I know next to nothing about any of the "third" party or independent hopefuls ...
