I had in mind a person who has no identity-defining desire to rule the world or run a bureaucracy, which eliminates almost 100% of all professional politicians, Dubya included. I thought maybe Romney was such a guy (he certainly knows how to run a successful business), and his early and gracious bowing-out to McCain seems to support that idea. But he's out, and I am quite certain McCain is too pig headed to consider him seriously for VP. Of the professional politicians, I lean toward those who at least understand on some level the dangers of their own unbridled good intentions. Dubya proved not to be such a politician. :( Obama and the folks around him are in this important regard the antithesis of my ideal--even Hillary was a better choice and for me to say that takes no small amount of self control to keep from vomiting. She always terrified me not because she's a woman---really, can we get over that argument? I'd vote for a Thatcher or a Thomas any day, even over a rich white male like McCain---but because she's a cold-blooded leftist. At least on some level, however, she's a realist, who has been around the block a bit. Obama hasn't the slightest clue about the costs and realistic chances for all of his lofty left-wing programs a.) to be enacted, and b.) to have the intended unidimensionally good results for which he hopes. I am unaware of any live samples today of my ideal kind of professional politician, or even a credible specimen of a hybrid. Some say Bobby Jindal is such a man; I have yet to really get my head around who he is, so I don't know. In any case, I'm bumming this election cycle, big-time. - Bob > > Kristyne > _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
