I’ll take an inexperienced leader taking us in the right direction than an experienced and integrity-challenged leader leading us down the toilet of liberalism like Rudy and Mitt will do
************************************************************ Reminds me of a great story. In my AF days within the A-10 program we invited several notable WW II German Military leaders to give us insights in fighting the Soviets.

In one of the Seminars the German General was asked how they handled there personnel problems. He said they had three major personnel categories.

1. There were those that always knew the right thing to do and could get them done. These we made generals.
2. There were those who never knew what was the right thing to do nor could they get it done. These we made privates.
3. There were those who always selected the wrong thing to do but were genius at getting them done. These we shot.

Godspeed

Or, as General Rommel reportedly said,

"Men are basically smart or dumb and lazy or ambitious. The dumb and ambitious ones are dangerous and I get rid of them. The dumb and lazy ones I give mundane duties. The smart ambitious ones I put on my staff. The smart and lazy ones I make my commanders."

Heh, sounds a lot like a quote attributed to Erwin Rommel, and which our son, an attorney in Boston showed me, and I'm going to print and frame for him for Christmas:

“Men are basically smart or dumb and lazy or ambitious.
The dumb and ambitious ones are dangerous and I get rid of them.
The dumb and lazy ones I give mundane duties.
The smart and ambitious ones I put on my staff.
The smart and lazy ones I make my commanders."
-Field Marshal Erwin Rommel
