Barney Frank.

Now before you start, it's not because of his politics, which are, frankly, too Left for me.

But damn if he isn't the hardest working man in Congress. Barney is on the job.

Hard working perhaps, but you TRUST him? The same guy who was a part of the housing/financial crisis. Fannie....freddie

As much as I trust any politician.

But trust isn't necessarily a good thing to have.

Look at Carter. Who wouldn't trust him? Possibly the most honest President we've ever had.

And look what good it did him.

Ron Paul is the only politician that I think I can trust. We've thrown off the King's Crown only to be burdened by thousands of petty kings.

I would have to say Ron Paul. I don't agree with him on everything but I believe he is an honorable man.

Ron Paul? Sure.

Not quite so sure about Rand "Aqua Buddha" Paul.

Though frankly, that business made me like him a little more, not less.

Anybody notice how frequently the name, Ron Paul, has come up?

And yet many people don't think he's able to win the election. Too bad. Aren't we in desperate need of someone we can trust to run this country? I think he deserves a go at it!

Isn't that the truth. I'd like to vote for him again
but I just don't think he is going to run in 2012.

Rand is considering a run, but says he won't run
against his dad, if he runs

So, guess we we'll have to wait and see.

Rand Paul | president 2012 | The Daily Caller - Breaking News, Opinion, Research, and Entertainment

On democratic side I trust Dennis Kucinich

I'd like to see a Paul/Kucinich Ticket 2012.
It's our foreign policy that is a costly disaster.

Maybe John Glenn because he's boring, seems honest, and is currently out of the game.
Nowadays though?
