We have a number of people that are running for President of the United States. All of them think they are qualified to be President. All of them think they should be President. Only one will be the next President. Who will that be? We do not know the answer to that question at this time.
Looking at the candidates you have to look at the person and where they stand on the issues. As a conservative first, I lean toward the conservative candidates and away from the liberal ones.
As a social conservative, I believe that abortion is wrong. A candidate that supports abortion would not get my vote, unless both major candidates supported abortion. Looking at the candiates, that would leave only Mitt Romney and John McCain as the only major candidates that support the rights of the unborn.
Next, I am also a fiscal conservative. Looking at the candidates, Mitt Romney, John McCain and Rudy Giulani would qualify. John McCain is the weakest of the three in this category.
As a patriot, I support the war against Islamo-fascism. Mitt Romney, John McCain and Rudy Giuliani all qualify in spades in this category. All have strong records in supporting the war. Any one of the three would be an excellent choice in this category.
It is important to choose judges that would strictly interpret the Constitution of the United States. I do not want judges that would make up laws. All the Demcrats fail this test in spades. Mitt Romney is the strongest in this category. John McCain is suspect because of his leadership in the gang of 14. That gang of 14 situation stopped any chance of getting judges voted on by the Senate. Rudy Giuliani is suspect because of his stance on abortion among other social issues.
Looking at a candidates personal life is also important. Mitt Romney has lead a life with almost no blemishes. John McCain and Rudy Giuliani have had problems with their wives. A man that cannot rule his own house will have trouble ruling the country.
Boiling down all these categories and you get Mitt Romney as the best candidate. Rudy Giuliani would be next. John McCain would be in third place, because you cannot trust him to do the right thing.
