Let's face the real issue Kiddies:

Where are our "dazzling" candidates?

OK... the Dems are full of stiffs,...but where are our charismatic leader types?

And don't tell me the woods are full of 'em.



The true leaders and critical thinkers avoid everything that even carries a whiff of "government" the best candidates, those who could never be bought, would never consider running for president.


I'm still most interested in a reality game show approach that allows every state to nominate a player by popular vote, then have the finalists compete for a chance to run in the general election. Each week, the viewer vote candidates off until only one is left.

I'd wager that the way most people think about what it takes to make a good candidate would be drastically different than it is now.

"... the way most people think about what it takes to make a good candidate..." is probably the heart of the delimna.

With our empiricle evidence and history and our trackrecord it's more than amazing that we have gotten along as we have.

Marry that with our insane compulsion to ignore current affairs or alternatively tend to every micro-move an office holder makes, it's remarkable that any sane person even bothers with public life.

One quick look at our "circus" of public servants would chill any normal person. Side show freaks make better associates...when you rattle off just a sampler of who we got up there "taking care of business" Waters,Pelosi, Frank , Conyers, Kerry, Rangel and on and on.

Saints Preserve us!

Where are the Thomas Sowells? The sane ones? We gotta stop this "Gong Show" process that produces circus freaks.
