I read your post with concerned interest.
You don't consider 'W' a win (I assume here you mean President Bush).
Later you state you are willing to support a real leader.
My question is who would you consider a real leader?
One who mixes in with the hip crowd? Who caters to the press by feeding them 'scoops'. Who gets on TV repeatedly and in his shining radiance swoons the US public? Who considers the office of President to be the attainment of unimaginable power.
Or one who states his goals, and accomplishes them? Time, after time. One who considers the office of President to be an unimaginable responsibility that must be given all of his energy to sustain. Who takes the path less traveled (cut taxes?) even though the other path is easier? Who states that his morals, his values, his concern for the US public will not be diminished during his term, and so far has proven it?
Reagan was a real leader. He clearly defined great goals, and met them. (My favorite Reagan quote: "What is my strategy for defeating the Soviet Union? We win and they lose.")
W is a puppet. He not only has never articulated great goals (what is the war on "terror"? "Terrorism" is a warfighting strategy, not an opponent), but I doubt he could spell the word. When we gave up chasing the Taliban and Osama, turned left, and seized oil fields, I didn't need to be told anything else.
If he'd close the borders, balance the Federal budget, kill Osama, and use tariffs to save the country from the Chinese, then I'd believe he was something substantial. I don't see it happening, and he's had five years to muck things up worse.
Ohh...someone taking a stand on FR!
