• I'd like to see Gramm get his shot to complete the good work started in Gramm-Rudman
• Pat Buchanan is the only candidate who has both the economic and cultural values I agree with.
• Gramm is from common roots and is for the common man. He will be good for business, especially small business, by dismantling lots of regulations, which burden small businesses more than they do big businesses.
• Phil Gramm is the most honest and conservative of the candidates. No regulations with him.
• Phil Gramm--we need an economist who understands free markets instead of a professional politician or demagogue.
• Alan Keyes for President- "We don't have money problems; we have moral problems!"
• I believe Alan Keyes has a proper perspective of the root cause of most of our current problems, and he would make this his top priority.
• HARRY BROWNE-THE REPUBLICRATS HAD THIRE CHANCE
• Alan Keyes - He presents truth, not political double-talk.
• Gramm/Forbes '96!

• Phil Gramm, has best chance of beating Clinton
• Phil Gramm.
• GRAMM - CHARACTER, LEADERSHIP, INTEGRITY, CONSERVATISM
• jello biafra. the only reasonably coherent and politically aware person currently "in action" at this time. his "platform" is unique to say the least, yet functional.
• Gramm will save us from disasters like getting our own troops bogged down in Bosnia. war has always been one of the greatest excuses for statism.
• Phil Gramm will balance the budget by cutting spending and taxes. He will get rid of lots of government regulations. he's the only one who knows how.
• Let's get Gramm in there so he can dismantle the welfare state and all the goverment regulations so we can be free again.
• If only Phil Gramm were president, we could turn this country around and recreate the American Dream.
• Harry Browne - to make this a free country once more.
• Phil Gramm He is the only true principled conservative.
• Harry Browne. The fed. government needs to be drastically cut.
• phil gramm, most conservative
• I believe that Harry Browne would be a good choice because he would check the Republican congress. He would allow all bills dealing with smaller government but would halt Repub. intrusion into privacy etc. Because many repubs are leaning libertarian he
• Senator Gramm would be the best. He has the best ideas of any candidate in the race; he's the most consistent on the issues.
• I'd like to see Gramm become president. He's the only one who can complete the Reagan Revolution of less government and more freedom.
• Bill Clinton is far better than what is out there right now.
• Phil Gramm- He's the only consistently true conservative
• Rick Tompkins. He's the only real principle Libertarian running for president
• Gore -- he can campaign while Clinton governs
• Phil Gramm is the only decent one of the lot who can win. The only other half-way decent one is Forbes, and he can't win since he appeals only to a portion of the economic conservatives, and not at all to social conservatives. To win the nomination and the election, the candidate must appeal to both social conservatives and economic conservatives. Only Gramm does that.
• Someone who knows that we need to balance the budget, and temporarily increase taxes. Someone who wants to reform welfare so that it works but who doesn't want to shred the safety net. Someone who knows when to get involved in foreign policy negotiations,
• Senator Phil Gramm is the only truly libertarian candidate who can win in 1996.
• Keyes...Leadership and communication skills
• Phil Gramm, social & fiscal conservative
• Harry Browne
• Gramm has honesty, integrity, courage, and conservative convcition.
• The republican nominee so that Republican agenda can pass
• I like Gramm because he believes in a limited government. I also like Harry Browne, but I don't believe that he has a chance of being elected.
• If there's anyone in Washington who will say, "no!" it's Senator Gramm. He says no so fascist health care, not to gun control, no to Mexican bailouts, no to increased spending, no to sending troops to Bosnia. We need to elect him President so he can say NO to the entire welfare-regulatory state.
• PHIL GRAMM KNOWS THE BENEFITS OF CUTTING TAX RATES, BUT ALSO OF CUTTING SPENDING, AND OF LIBERTY IN MEDICINE AND THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS.
• Phil Gramm. Do you know that Steve Forbes used to write glowing praise of Gramm in Forbes magazine? Vote for Phil Gramm: the candidate endorsed by the old Steve Forbes.
• Phil Gramm, because of his econimic experience, fiscal conservatism, and how he stands on his principals.
• Phil Gramm; only he is truly committed to a limited government
• Phil Gramm because he has the best chance of shrinkin government.
• Phil Gramm / Phil is in touch with the American people and has consistently voted his convictions over the years. He has no hidden agenda and seems to be a statesman not a politician.
• Browne-reduce gov's intrusion into individual & states rights
• Phil Gramm is leading the opposition in the Senate to the Clinton-Dole deployment of US troops to Bosnia.
• It's amazing just how close we came to having Clinton socialize health care in this country. Dole and 22 Republican senators were on board for some version of a government take over of our health care. But when things looked darkest for our liberty, Phil Gramm was the one man who said, "Clinton's health care plan will pass over my cold, dead, political body." I knew right then I would be supporting him for president. Gramm almost single-handedly killed the socialist health care montser in America. Than
• Steve Forbes. He is the only true 'pro-growth' candidate.
• Phil Gramm because he was for free markets back when liberal Republicans like Nixon and Buchanan were imposing wage and price controls (remember Phase I and Phase II?!) on our liberty.
• Charles Collins. Best constitutional candidate.
• Pat Buchanan since he's not the waffler and liar Dole is!
• Phill Gramm- Will end affirmative action.
• Phil Gramm, he is a true conservative and stands by his word.
• Buchanan - he is saying things many of us are saying, and most politicians don't have the guts to say.
• Steve Forbes because he understands that capitalism engenders human progress, moral and economic.
• Gramm - Conservative, and he doesn't waffle on the issues
• gramm he is a good man and will do somthing about welfare
• Harry Brown, because he is coming from a constitutioanlly sound direction. We have been adding too many "frills and gagets" into government over the past two hundred years. These additions may have been started for exellent reasons, but they have gotten too bloated, and are not readdresssed for their present usefullness.
• Alan Keyes is the best conservative/libertarian candidate since Ronald Reagan.
• I'm sure Gramm's the best candidate for the job. He's right on taxes, spending and foreign policy. He's got the economics down cold.
• Phil Gramm, for his consistency of message and leadership.
• Only H browne and S Forbes "talk" the less government talk, I know HB would walk the walk.
• I would very much like to see Senator Phil Gramm of Texas be the next president. He has the Texas grit and horse-sense to get things done, and is and honorable conservative as well.
• Phil Gramm is on the cutting edge of conservatism. While the Contract With America promised to de-entitle only 5 welfare entitlements, Gramm proposed a bill which would de-entitle all 9 non-medical entitlements. While the other candidates make vague promises about cutting goverment, Gramm is already doing it. Just imagine how much more he'll be able to do as president!
• Phil Gramm would make an ideal president. He's of humble origins, yet has attained success through hard work and brain-power. And that's the best sort of conservative.
• Phil Gramm is just a plain, good conservative. How fancy rhetoric or foaming at the mouth. Just common sense and decency--what conservatism is all about.
• Phil Gramm- he holds traditional American values (work ethics, personal responsibility) in high regard, he tells you what he thinks & why and he doesn't back down...these are all qualities that the "alleged" front-runners, Bill Clinton and Bob Dole sorely lack (Powell also lacks these).
• Phil Gramm - he will do what needs to be done to balance the budget
• Harry Browne, because he is a man truly set in the ideals of our founding fathers
• I would like to see Phil Gramm as President in 1996 to help put this nation on a more sound financial and moral course, something few other candidates will be capable of doing.
• honesty, consistency and character
• Gramm isn't a single-issue candidate with other issues tacted on as an after-thought like Buchanan, Keyes, and Forbes. He is the only full-issue conservative candidate.
• Gramm has found the narrow road of sanity between the isolationist demagogues like Buchanan and the willy-nilly interventionists like Dole and Clinton. Bravo!
• Phil Gramm can be counted on to stand for liberty and against Big Government.
• Senator Gramm is the most impressive conservative on the block
• Harry Browne, because he is willing to seriously cut government back.
• Gramm is so good he's the only candidate who doesn't have to distort the record of his rivals.
• Bill Clinton--Noone else is worth a grain of thought.
• From avaliable choices, Bill Clinton because there seems to be too much hate and intolerance boing on in this country. Remember without tolerance we become Balkanized.
• Alan Keyes because of his moral convictions
• Bill Clinton
• Of all the choices, I think Clinton is the most likely. I can't see any of the Republicans becoming president, they would simply slash and burn without thinking.
• Alan Keyes
• Paul Tsongos, because he's honest & pratical
• Forbes -- best supply sider w/o Kemp running
• Harry Browne is the only candidate willing to save this country from economic disaster and really cut spending.
• Gramm is right on all the issues, and has the most pro-liberty record of any candidate running.
• I would like to see Phil Gramm become president in 1996. He is the only one who has pledged to balance the budget in one term or not run for reeclection. And he will do it while cutting tax rates too. He is already working to dismantle the Commerce Department and make sure the Senate keeps the promises in the Republican Contract With American.
• Harry Browne; I believe that the people in this country need to reduce their dependancy on large centralized government and become more self reliant, and Harry Browne stands for that.
• If Gramm were president we wouldn't be debating how much to slow down the growth rate of government and whether to have tiny tax cuts. We'd be debating just how much to CUT spending and taxes.
• I appreciate Gramm's integrity and conservatism
• Gramm is unparalleled for his honesty, integrity, and knowlege of economics. He would be the best by far of all the candidates.
• Gramm is a real optimist--in every speech he says, "The good news is that there's not a problem we face today we can't fix" yet is realistic enough to know and honest enough to admit that the solutions will cause some people some pain. He's not a pie-in-the-sky sort who thinks marginal tax cuts will fix everything.
• I find Phil Gramm so inspiring.
• I like Phil Gramm because he is brilliant yet the media elites hate him more than any other candidates. He's the best conservative, and they're terrified of him.
• Without Gramm, Dole and Domenici would have cut a deal with Clinton on the budget already. If Gramm is "Dr. No" I say yes to Gramm!
• Gramm isn't slick like Willie or most of the Republicans preachers and politicians running against him. He's an example of the American Dream--grew up poor but made good. And his wife's another example--her grandfather came over as an indetured servant from Korean to work in the sugar cane field of Hawaii. Her dad went to college and became an executive for the company that employed his father . She because CFTC Chair, and deregulated the industry. THAT is the sort of American Dre m co
• You always get more government than you voted for; therefore I support Harry Browne, Libertarian.
• Phil Gramm - Ibelieve that he will bring back the American Drean drea

• Gramm killed the Clinton socialist health care plan. He was the only one with the guts to go on the national media and call it socialism.
• Harry Browne because he's the only one that is committed to reducing government the most.
• Gramm, he supports the Contract with America's goals
• Harry Browne -- He's Libertarian and libertarian.
• Gramm is a great, consistent leader. He knows how to talk to common folks as well as to intelletuals. He is a man for all seasons. He will be the greatest president of the 20th century.
• If Colin Poweel would run, I would vote for him simply because the man is a true independent and has no ties to either party. I am sick of the partisan posturing of both parties, and i honestly feel that both parties are moribund and have out-lived their usefulness.
• Bob Dole: Experience, Virtues
• Gramm. he is the most fiscally conservative candidate
• Bill Clinton, the only one looking out for the average guy.

• Me, Michael Burt, The KING OF CHAOS, because I'm willing to make the big cuts needed in government.
• Rick Tompkins, because he is the best of the Libertarian candidates, and the only one who truly understands and talks about the principles of being a Libertarian. He loves liberty, and wants everyone to have a chance at it.

• Phil Gramm: He is the only candidate with a PLAN for solving Economic problems
• Alan Keyes - He is what the country needs an honest, conservative leader.
• I really don't know, because I feel that most people who have more than a snowball's chance in hell of winning lie, cheat, and are basically crooks.
• Bob Dole - Integrity and Honesty
• Charles Collins - I think he addresses the underlying issues, not the false front issues pushed by the press. He would realistically trim much of the government that we could do without. He'd reduce entitlements, but keep programs that help people get ahe
• Gramm is the MAN. The only one with both the common sense and the economics training and the courage to make the tough choices to turn around the goverment and restore our liberty.
• Rick Tompkins, Libertarian. But Harry Brown will do, and has a good chance. The Fed.Gov is far out of control, and needs to be vivisected back into its constitutional restraints.
• Gramm has an excellent record, not just excellent rhetoric like some candidates. A record of fighting to cut taxes and spending. Dole Lugar and Alexander have lousy records.Buchanan, Keyes, Browne, Forbes have no record, and can say anything they want. Powell isn't running; wake up Powell supporters! And of course, Clinton has an abyssmal record--so bad that he's been GREAT for the cause of liberty.

• Phil Gramm - he has guts enough to make needed changes.
• Even now Gramm is battling to force Congress to: ‡1. pass the tax cuts; 2. stop the Bosnian deployment; pass reall welfare reform; 4. de-entitle school lunches. THAT is the sort of leadership we need in the White House!

• Phil Gramm. Bob Dole is really too old for the American people to reasonably accept. He's probbably up to the task, but in my opinion, he's not nearly conservative enough. I think we need to get the government out of people's faces, get spending under control and stop yammering about gun control and do something significant about criminals. Bill Clinton has what I think is the MOST scandal-ridden administration in my memory, and that includes Nixon. In addition, he's so wishy washy on virtually everyt ing but gun control, and he has no credibitlity. He talks out of both sides of his mouth and goes the way of the wind on just about everything. You just can pin him down. I guess that's why they call him "Slick Willy".

• Phil Gramm -- He is serious about reducing the size and scope of government. He offers tough, principled, and compassionate leadership as well as a clear, concise, and consistent message.
• Harry Browne. His policies, moderated by a Republican/Democrat dominated Congress, will move the United States back towards small, relatively unintrusive government.
• Sen. Bill Bradley or Lowell Weicker

• Almost anyone other than Bill Clinton...But I would prefer Gen. Schwartzkopf...who unfortunately has more sense than to get into politics. He has global savy, having served on several continents, management ability, having managed hundreds of thousands of men, and respect for and concern for his troops, which would translate to concern for the ordinary citizen. Also, he isn't a political animal, as are all those currently running for, and IN office. We could use the change.

• Bob Dole, I think he is best ofr the job and not Clinton
• Bill Clinton, because he listens and do the will of the people. Unlike republicans who tell you what you want.

• Colin Powell
• Harry Browne, for a free country!

• Steve Forbes--I think the country needs a shrewd Business Man to get their fiscal house in order, and their nose out of everyone's affairs.

• HARRY BROWNE, NO ACTION BY GOV'T CAN IMPROVE ANYONE'S LIFE

• PEROT
• Harry Browne, Only serious choice for freedom
• Gramm - He won't make deals with the liberals like Dole will
• Alan Keyes sees the issues clearly from a firm base of correct principles. He demonstates an understanding of the political/moral principles that made this nation great. He is courageous in espousing those principles.
• someone other than a demo-publican, we need change.
• My first choice is Harry Browne, second is Steve Forbes. Both seem committed to a reduction in the size and cost of government, and in the intrusiveness of the government in people's lives.
• Alan Keyes. He is one of the few candidates who has an actual stand on the issues. I tend toward Libertarian, but their stand on abortion is wrong.

If powell were running I would love to see him in office, that however will not happen. I also think that Clinton although critized is doing a fine job, and within time he will make good on all of his promises

Harry Browne We to completely restructure,reduce fed gov

Bill Clinton because he's done as much as he could despite the Fascists in Congress.

Phill Gramm, only man with convictions in the race

Harry Browne, he will reduce the size of goverment.

Clinton, because, although flawed, he seems like the only candidate who generally cares about the average citizen and not just the pocket books of the wealthy.

Harry Browne - to return us to a nation of individual responsibility, with a principled and consistent defense of individual rights, including the right to property.

Clinton because he works hard and deserves another term

Of anyone who has a chance at getting their party's nomination, I like Browne the best.

I want to see Clinton reelected for president in 1996 because he has done a great job so far.

Arlen Spector

Harry Browne, I feel that he can set the right example for politicians in that he has a political position (which reflects my own more than any other candidate) that does not change to fit public opinion in order for him to be elected. His stance on free

Alan Keyes - He's the only one who stands for what he believes because he believes it's right, rather than watching the poles.

Lowell Weicker-most independent, straight ahead guy in field

I would like to see President Clinton re-elected in the coming year. In his presidency this country has seen the deficit fall and the economy rise. The NYSE broke the 4000 and 5000 mark this year alone. Clinton has also made a legitimate attempt to repair this country's broken health care system.

Collin Powell: strong leadership qualities; can unify public

William f buckley. He is sincere, has character, and is knowledgeable enough for the job.

Harry Browne- He is not a politician. read his new book "Why Government Doesn't Work"!!

Someone Who Can Take Moral Leadership

Pat Buchanan

BOB DOLE HIS BELIEFS AND EXPERIENCES

Keyes, because he articulates the ~real~ problems that we face in this country, and points to the best ways to change our current situation. And because he's black, our country, and our black citizens need someone other than OJ Simpson and Rodney King as standard bearers.

Bob Dornan -- common sense values

Forbes because is a true outsider

Any Libertarian, or like-minded individual. Why? Government needs to get out of the business of trying to be everything for everyone.

Alan Keyes; he speaks the truth and needs no notes to tell him what the truth is.

Steve Forbes, He will do the most for changing the attitude of america back to one of self reliance and being responsible. We shouldn't punish ambition and rewaqrd sloth!

Pat Buchanan because he is the ONLY one (besides Charles Collins) who stands against the New World Order & other global crap - & understands the Constitutional limitations upon government

He isn't running, but I'd like to see Newt as president because he has the most agressive approch to slashing the size of the Federal government. The feds take plenty from me and give little in return. The damn hippy generation baby boomers wrecked the county. They and there president try to cover for it by barrowing againt my now meager earnings. They retire with fat social security and welfare welfare lazy losers and I get nothing but a huge bill and a dim future.

DR. ALAN KEYES--He is the only candidate who is willing to take a stand on the moral problems of our great country, all of which lead to the "practical" problems (welfare, education, crime, etc.) There is no sense in trying to fix these matters unless the root cause of them is fixed as well. Dr. Keyes is the ONLY candidate with incredible foreign policy experience (ambassador) and a great deal of fiscal experience as president of Citizens Against Government Waste. Not to mention his fine oratory skills

So far I would like to see Bill Clinton re-elected as president. Although fiscally I am conservative, I think that a Republican Congress will make up for a Democratic President. Also, I think that Clinton will be less likely to legislate personal religious values. I tend to think along a libertarian bent, but the Libertarian party is too lax on some issues that I feel require legislation, such as protecting the environment.

Harry browne, because he will give us less government--and I want a hell of alot less government.

Steve Forbes looks like the best candidate who has a chance to make it on the ballot in 96. Harry Browne is a Conservative whacko in Libertarian clothing.
