Would you vote for this candidate? (you pick the office)

Would you vote for a person who made mistakes as a young aldult. But went on to become a better person and run for office.

Please be honest. Heres the future candidates background.

These charges are one incedent. (same day)
1 simple tresspassing (charged as adult)
1 disturbing the peace charge (charged as adult)
1 public intox charge (charged as adult)

Here is where the candidate stands on issues.......

International Issues:
Energy & Oil: We should be investing in alternative energy to free ourselves from foreign dependence.
Foreign Policy: I support the war on terrorism, We should be pulling out of Iraq as soon as the goverment and military is stable. I would like our country to lead the way in improvements for the global enviorment. We should improve on human rights. Finally, improve relations in the middle east.
Free Trade: I beleive we should make it so that free trade favors our economy verses our neighbor's economy.
Homeland Security: Take the fight to the terrorist, on their soil.

War & Peace: I believe in a world of peace and deplomacy.


Domestic Issues:
Armed Forces: I support our troops! I beleive in a well maintained, well trained, military. We should always give our troops what they need to accomplish their mission. I beleive in pay raises and good healthcare for the military member and their family.
Civil Rights: I support the U.S. Constitution and "Bill of Rights". I just don't beleive in same-sex marraige or civil unions.

Employment: I will stand behind implementing new goverment programs and existing goverment programs to make college more affordable for our children.
I will implement ways to learn a new trade or skill for adults, assisted by goverment financing.

Veterans: Our veterans deserve the upmost respect. I support the new M.G.I. Bill.

Economic Issues:
Budget: I know at the current tax levels, we could pay for all these programs I propose, and still balance the budget. balancing the budget would be my main priority.
Economy: I'm concerned the economy is in turmoil, We would need to implement stronger regulations and increase goverment oversight. I dont support bailing out wall street or corporations.
Goverment Reform: I beleive in the goverment. (you) I just don't beleive in most of our current representatives. (elected officials)
Infastructure: We need to make major improvements to our infrastructure.

I would start a program for you to save more money, tax-free, with minimal goverment regulations and oversight.

We know more about him than we do Obama and have a lot more detail on his policies than we know about Obama's. We know a lot more about McCain because he has been in the Senate so long. In fact we know the best reason for Independents and Republicans to not vote for McCain is that McCain is a RINO the Democrats love, except during this election.
