How Hard Can It Be

Along with a lot of others, I've been trying to follow this presidential election. All the various candidates have their platforms, which supposedly they will follow if elected. The two parties haven't even decided on their candidates yet, and already I'm about sick of politics. I have yet to find a candidate who I'd feel comfortable voting for, either Democrat or Republican. How hard can it be to find a candidate who is fiscally conservative and won't spend my tax money of a bunch of junk, who is pro-life and believes that abortion is murder, who believes that war is a bad idea, peace is a much better idea,. How hard can be it to have a candidate who believes that people should only come into our country legally, and protect the borders so that bad guys can't just walk into the country, and who believes in taking care of the poor and needy, but not enabling those who chose to take advantage of the system, who believes that getting the country out of debt is a critical matter of national importance, and won't raise taxes in order to increase spending. Until that candidate comes along, I'll probably tune out, and enjoy watching sports, and playing golf instead.
