You're not going to believe this, but I was most aligned with Guliani! Ugh! I hate him. Maybe I was confused on some of the issues, I don't know. Go figure!
But anyway...
Oh! And Ron Paul was a few candidates down the line, not second, as far as who I was most aligned with.
Ron Paul: "We’ve all heard proposals for “privatizing” the Social Security system. The best private solution, of course, is simply to allow the American people to keep more of their paychecks and invest for retirement as they see fit. But putting Social Security funds into government-approved investments could have dangerous consequences. Private companies would become a partner of sorts with the government. Individuals still would not truly own their invested Social Security funds. Payroll taxes likely would be raised to cover payments to current beneficiaries."
In other words, don't privatize theft!
So, they didn't allow you the best option (in my opinion), and that would be to get rid of social security altogether, and let people invest their own money for retirement as they see fit. Privatizing social security would still mean that the government steals a portion of your hard-earned money.
I have long been skeptical of the line item veto on spending bills. The legislature should not yield its authority to the executive. Our constitutional republic demands that all branches of government understand and respect our system and jealously guard their own prerogatives.

I most align with John McCain, but that is because I don't know what the Line-Item Veto is. That aside, it's Ron Paul all the way, baby.
I thought Ron Paul would be for privatizing Social Security. He and I don't see eye to eye on that issue, I guess.

They left out many issues that are important, too.
