I respect John McCain because he is a badass who survived tougher conditions than I can imagine.

I respect Fred Thompson because he pulls great tail.

I respect Barak Obama because he seems to have a spirit of bipartisanship and compassion at heart.

I respect Hillary Clinton because she continues to support this horrible war in Iraq despite it possibly giving her great trouble in the primary.

I respect Bill Clinton because he is smarter than I am. Fred Thompson needs to give him some lessons in pulling tail, though.

I respect George Bush because he is obviously a man of deep conviction, though you may have concerns about the nature of those convictions.

I respect Ron Paul because he is correct about everything, but this will get him nowhere.

I respect Dennis Kucinich because his cause is so hopeless.
