I don't care if our next president is the biggest douche bag in the world, as long as he fixes our fiscal nightmare in an intelligent way. There are no Republican candidates that come close to Obama in the douche bag metric. There are no Republican candidates who would not be 1000 times better at rescuing us from the Obama fiscal nightmare.

The bottom line, NO MATTER WHO the Repubs have as a candidate, the final choice for President will be between a Socialist/Communist/Marxist, OR either a Smart Man who 20-30 years ago had affairs and has reformed himself and is fully capable of dealing with both foreign affairs and our economy, OR a Smart Man who didn't have affairs and has enough financial strength to help get us on the right path again... Maybe there will be some people on the Right side, who can do some digging and see what the background is of all the stone throwers on the Left..... You're right on about this nit picking over character..... Honestly, I don't care if our next president is the biggest douche bag in the world, as long as he fixes our fiscal nightmare in an intelligent way.

>>fixes our fiscal nightmare in an intelligent way<< And that's the dilemma, because our fiscal problems are too big for a single person to deal with. There are plenty of people who want the job as president, but the real problem lies with "We the People" and that's the only place we can find the solutions we need. Leadership can inspire us, but it is going to be a daunting task to muster the political will to get the deficit moving in the right direction. There are no quick fixes and government has become bloated and fat. It didn't happen overnight and it's going to require time to streamline the political system. We really need the kind of road map that Paul Ryan has discussed and a bipartisan effort to go with it, but the longer we put off getting started on this the harder it is going to be. * * *
