Steve Forbes would have done a WAY better job than GWB, but, unfortunately, people don’t vote for a “homely” guy. Our loss.

Nonsense. With the exception of Cheney as VP, Forbes would have pulled cabinet members and advisors from the exact same pool of conservative Republicans as Bush did.

Bush has an MBA in economics from Yale and is greatly admired by Forbes. And Forbes would have had the exact same media treatment for eight solid years as Bush got with the only difference being Forbes and his family would have been relentlessly mocked for their looks.

Apparently you bought into the anti-Bush propaganda.

I was initially intrigued by Forbes. I think it became clear after a while that he was a fiscal but not a social conservative.

A real conservative is both. My memory’s foggy, though, so I could be wrong about the man. I hope I am.

I simply cannot support a pro-choice politician. Ever.
