Favorite for 2016 Presidency?: No one

Where are you on the political spectrum?: Center (learn to spell "center," by the way, you dirty Brit)

Favorite foreign leader?: Vladimir Putin (he amuses me, and I like his manly approach)

Political ideology?: social liberal that supports gay marriage, women's rights, etc., combined with a moderate fiscal approach that realizes the social safety net is very limited

Most hated foreign leader?: Tie between Vladimir Putin (due to his insecurities and his ideology) and Kim Jung-un (due to the fact he's just flat out pathetic)

Most important election issue for you?: Finding someone who doesn't think medieval ideology still works well today but who also doesn't think we need to expand social programs

Strongest ally to the USA?: Canada. As we go, so does Canada. I still haven't given up on Canada becoming a part of the US. It's inevitable. Just needs more time.

Biggest enemy of the USA? While others try, Russia is the only real threat that can potentially disrupt or international influence or worse.

Is feminism a negative movement in 2015?: Yes. There are far too many women leading this country. We need to limit this, or else we may find ourselves in numerous wars across the globe. :)

So far not surprised by the responses, this forum is very Libertarian and leans right on a lot of social issues.

O'Malley is a good looking guy so he'll probably get the 50 shades of grey reader's votes. As for his governing ability, Maryland is a ****hole and he presided over it.

Yeah I don't mind the Sarkozy's of this world getting elected but Le Pen represents the Front National which is the worst kind of reactionary, populist party of dog-whistlers and attracts racists and xenophobes.

Luckily I think Le Pen is attracting many votes due to the hatred that people have of the EU. Once the EU collapses she'll lose all her support and it will move back to the traditional conservative base.

In response to the xenophobia remark,there's nothing wrong with being nervous that France will eventually resemble Algeria,Tunisia or Egypt instead of a European country.

I think immigration for sure needs to be more controlled and only those with relevant abilities and qualifications where there is a domestic shortage should be allowed to immigrate. That is the moderate conservative position. But Le Pen's position is just flat-out "all foreigners are bad" which is not a position I would support and I'd deem it xenophobic.
