Lets; Keep in mind History is full of National Leaders who had
outstanding records of military service to their country and
turned out to be the absolute worse dictators when they managed
to take over the country. I'm not sure military service
should be considered when your looking for qualities
in a politician
On the other hand Nelson Mandela had a
prison record but with out him I think South Africa would
have exploded into civil war.
-------------------------------
I like Bush jr as a person, better than his Daddy, but still
think he will implement most of his daddy's economic policies
which caused huge unemployment and almost shut down the country,
beyond that there is the CIA connection, I'm concerned about
more hegemonical hidden power whenever the CIA gets a
favorite son in the highest office of the country.
I do hope my concerns are not valid ones as it looks
like Bush is a shoe in.
Kinlton's broken zipper destroyed any chance the opposition
may have. He embarrassed the entire country and should have
stepped down and got his pardon like Nixon, and then got
out of sight.
This wont even be a race , also History is full
of fallen Nations who trusted their leaders without
question. But If I were taking bets I'd bet on Bush to be
the next President also knowing taht I'm chickenSit I won't
start bashing him and take all taht heat.
Why this guy is going to be so popular that any one who
bashes him may as well be prepared to leave the country
or get roasted over charcoal.

ON top of that I live in Texas and this State
will likely get a lot of perks and pork if Bush gets in as that's
the way the game is played, so I guess I may as well vote
for him. Gota stick with the winners and Bush will win this
one, maybe we will survive anyway.
This is one of the few Nations that runs Presidents more
than they run the Nation.
