The quality I would look for in our President is how level headed is he or she. Is the President an idealogue with very hard set views. Or is the President capable of making a decision after listening to all sides of a story. And after having made the decision, the ability to rally others to stand behind that decision. President Bush by now should have realized that terrorism cannot be fought by sending in an army. Currently, while the Pakistani troops are concentrating in Waziristan, terrorists are attacking other areas in the world. terrorism has to be fought collectively by all the nations of the world with the collective intelligence or all these countries. President Bush is chasing terrorist shadows, busy trying to hold the small coalition that he has together. Under threat of being voted out of office and under pressure from Spain, he is now turning towards the UN, something that he said he does not need to do as late as January 2004 during the State of the Union. He has lost his bearings, even the little he may have had.

You're expecting a politician to be a saint? I just want someone much less dangerous than the insane radical Shrub and his cohorts of greedy, grasping, lying thugs. Doesn't seem like much to ask. Remember Bush did yell expletives at Al Hunt in front of Hunt's 4 year old son. Maybe that was during his heavy drinking days.

Christopher, you are one of the more moderate voices on these threads. You have no agenda to push and no favorites to hype. Thank you.

Their plans are obviously to snipe at each other and then to say the other is... and surprisingly, they do fool some of their fans. The issues would be easy to discuss. if the campaign has to last this long, then they should have prepared exactly what they are going to do, put it into writing, and say, if I am elected, this is exactly what I plan on taxing, where the money will go, what new programs I want to start, how much more it will cost and how it will be funded,... Then the public can ask how the numbers hold up. If they are weak, we do not want that person to be our leader,...
