But you don't let him stay in the house, either!
No politician alive today can do everything I want, all the time
But I would expect that list to be extremely short from someone who claims to belong to the same party as I.
LOL. Anyone who keeps livestock in the house has a screw loose, in my humble opinion. All manure-spewing creatures belong out in the pasture where their byproducts can do me some good.
Seriously, all I really want from politicians is for them to stay out of the way, defend the homeland and keep the roads paved as necessary, and keep their hands off my wallet while I succeed. Rats get in my way and they've got their hands on my wallet most of the time, while Republicans tend to not be so grabby. Third-partyers on the other hand tend to let the homeland defense and the roads go to rack and ruin.
As flip an answer as this is, Bush in my mind embodies the most, best qualities of what I seek from a politician.
