Whom to Vote for President? and which Party Represents Me?

This morning I perused the platforms of the various Political Party's that have canidates running for President, to see if they hold the same values, responsibilities of Gov't, and mores that I hold.
Note: I did not bother with the Green Party, Socialist Workers Party or even the Reform Party (because of Traitor Nader).

Let us take a view at the party platforms:

Democratic Party Platform - John F. Kerry (Candidate)
Their whole platform is based on what Bush did wrong, not on what they can do for me. This is disturbing, because it demonstrated that they are so narrow-minded that can think of nothing else other than getting rid of Bush, not publishing a positive platform which puts forth their own ideas. All they have are Anti-Republican ideas. Sad, Very Sad. And this is the Party of the People? Don't think so.

Republican Party - George W. Bush (I)
They have a very Positive platform, in which they state what they are trying to achieve to better America and the lives of it's people. They cover a lot of issues and they state their stance on them in a positive way. Although they do say that they want to shrink the Federal Gov't, I don't think they are willing to go far enough. I do think that they are strong in their Defense of America and the War on Terrorism.

Libertarian Party - Michael Badnarik (Candidate)
They list their stances covering a plethora of issues, Gov't responsibilities and individual rights. I agree with their view of limiting the gov't's intervention in a persons life and respecting the rights of the individual. I think they go a little too far into the Isolationalism to suit me. Although I do agree with their belief in the pulling out of the UN. Good Platform and beliefs that truly support the People.

Constitution Party - Michael Peroutka (Candidate)
Wow! Read the Preamble! This is a Christian Party and they state it up front. Read all of their statements, check out the ones on Social Security, State Sovereignty and Defense, they believe in strict adherence to the tenets of Constitution. I like 90% of what this Party represents.

Damn this will be tough decision.
