(Ain't it amazing how many FReepers would have made a better govenor than Jeb?)

Oh, for sure :-) and they'd make better generals and better legislators and no doubt better judges - but for some reason - they just never get elected :-) and so must sit on the sidelines and take cheap shots

That's a bizarre concept. You have to be elected to a position before you can criticize another elected official? When was this rule written?

Don't forget, dear friends, that one of the beauties of America is freedom of speech, which includes freedom of opinion.

Therefore, yes, we are free here and elsewhere in the nooks and crannies of this country to express our pleasure or displeasure with the actions of our elected representatives.

Would you rather live in a country like pre-liberated Iraq, where people were tortured and killed for criticizing their leader???
