Freedom to choose the President of our wonderful country should not be limited to three of each recognized party - that would be putting limits to our freedom which is constitutionally guaranteed to each and every one of us as Americans. An imposed limit could further impact the chance of having someone who may be the next George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan or Thomas Jefferson - a good slate of candidates brings diversity to the forefront and that is what we as a nation are about. No two of us are alike - this is what makes for an interesting nation. We pull together as a nation because of our differences and part of those differences is having different candidates. No two platforms are exactly alike and no two candidates share exactly the same beliefs. That is part of the excitement of the election process - seeing how someone is selected by the general electorate that may have variances in their belief systems but overall, we agree and choose the one most suited for the job to lead us. That person may not have everything to offer that we would like but by evaluating their overall standing, we can make a choice. And the most important thing is to rememeber to vote.
