I tended to like Senior Bush. In fact I went door to door for him when he ran against Reagan. That VooDoo economics that Reagan was spouting about and George senior was against...... Anybody else remember that one? Man am I getting old or what? Shrub........Can't speak. Can't walk the walk like his ol'man, and has changed from a possibility to an impossibility at this time. It would be best in my opinion if G.W. would fold his tent and go back home for a few terms. Remember Quayle....POTATOE ???? How about Ford and the golf ball incidents.... Again , this is just my opinion after watching all the moves made by all the candidates.

Nadine, unfortunately, an unpleasant question comes to mind. How many leaders have we had as President lately? The latest one I would regard as a true leader, was Reagan. Bush, probably, did more than was made public because he was not one to boast but, also did not show enough strength if the face of a democratically controlled congress. Carter was a very decent human being, but not leader. Kennedy was a dreamer but, not a doer. He never got one of his programs through congress. LBJ, was an, out and out, crook. His only claim to power was knowing where all the skeletons were in every congressman's closet. Nixon tried to lead but, was a royalist and, instead of admitting that his staff had committed a crime, he ducked for cover and tried to cover it up. Not a leadership quality. It would be redundant to go into the degradation, and shame, Clinton has brought to the office. So, where do we go from here? I don't claim to have the answer but, am leery of McCain. His inability to control his temper, and his being seemingly oblivious to the criminal activities of his wife, cause me concern. These things did not happen in the "wild" years of youth but, recently. Gore is an absolute joke. If all else fails, I will have to choose the lesser of the two evils. What other choice does our system give us? ~H~
