In a world where politicians are under such a glaring spotlight and so many just want to show that their opponent has "feet of clay", is there someone you admire, despite all the mud that is out there? Even a local politician will do. Your turn...

The passed premier of China,Zhou enlai,is the greatest politician that I admire.Maybe most Chinese people will have the same feeling with me.

I have to say I like Bob Dole. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. He wasn't perfect but he did things I agreed with. He was one who wasn't afraid to cross the aisle and speak up on something he felt was important, despite what the rest of his party believed or wanted. On Dole's last run for senator I voted a complete democratic ticket, except for one republican.

I have to agree with you... Bob, when he was in office, not so much with the Viagra commercials, stood for things and raised some important ideas. Thanks.

Ron Paul. He wants to see America return to a Constitutional Republic. He wants to abolish the Federal Reserve. He wants to return to the gold standard.
