If the 2016 election were tomorrow and these were the candidates, who would you vote for?

:lol: you took the words right out of my fingers.
The notion of a rigid separation between church and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the writings of our Founding Fathers. On the contrary, our Founders' political views were strongly informed by their religious beliefs. Certainly the drafters of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, both replete with references to God, would be aghast at the federal government's hostility to religion. The establishment clause of the First Amendment was simply intended to forbid the creation of an official state church like the Church of England, not to drive religion out of public life.
He rejects the notion of "separation of Church and state", instead seeing the issue as "free exercise of religion" and "no establishment of religion".
If those were the choices- Johnson. I'm sick of Bushes and Clintons. We need some new blood in DC.
Same-sex marriage
Asked his opinion on same-sex marriage in October 2011, Paul expressed his support for marriage privatization by replying, "Biblically and historically, the government was very uninvolved in marriage. I like that. I don't know why we should register our marriage to the federal government. I think it's a sacrament." In the same interview, when asked whether he would vote for or against a state constitutional amendment like California's Proposition 8, he said, 'Well, I believe marriage is between one man and one woman."[146]
Abortion
Paul calls himself "strongly pro-life"[158] and "an unshakable foe of abortion".[159] In 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2011, Paul introduced the Sanctity of Life Act, which would have defined life as beginning at conception at the Federal level.[160] However, he believes regulation of medical decisions about maternal or fetal health is "best handled at the state level".[161][162][163] He believes that according to the U.S. Constitution states should, for the most part, retain jurisdiction.
Ron Paul 2014!
International organizations
Paul advocates withdrawing U.S. participation and funding from organizations he believes override American sovereignty, such as the United Nations, the International Criminal Court, the Law of the Sea Treaty, NATO, and the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.[318][349][350]
God, I sure hope there's a 2014 Presidential election in the US. I'm afraid, however, the world is stuck with the dolt in the Oval Office for another 2 plus years.

Replace it with Confederate flags and the picture would be correct.

Jred is obviously trolling. Some of you need to lighten up just a tad.
Exactly how much does the POTUS effect you?
What changes in YOUR life do you experience when the POTUS changes?
