Demonstration of great reasoning powers and application of critical thinking should be the units of measure of fitness for office.


I agree. We need real debating. Not this Candy Crowley liberal gotcha stuff.

Obama, bush, and bush Sr. would not have made the grade. Sadly, Clinton would have passed, and maybe at the time even Carter. But I do agree that your units should be our standard, and thereafter we vote on politics.

Can you imagine a debate or oral exam, for all candidates regardless of party, where they are just shown reasoning and thinking? No political questions, just logic and LSAT style questions?

Oh, and it has to be given by Alex Trebek, so when someone is wrong or off, he can have that scornful tone in his voice. “No, no no no no no, the answer is of course x.”

I think Honesty is the greatest measure, right with Wisdom and analytic ability. Denizens of Satan’s world are painting him as a bomb-throwing revolutionary just for speaking the truth, in this time of universal deceit.

Americans are sick of the constant lying, dodging, tyranny and pettiness of all aspects of government. Ted’s truth will be an elixir to them once they hear it.
