What Congressional experience does President Bush have? Furthermore, why are Professional Politicians needed to run the Federal Government? Shouldn't someone who can show that they have Constitutional Principles at hand be given the benefit of the doubt over avid socialists who only happen to have been a Professional Politician.

Good reposte. Bush never had any federal experience. He was elected with less than 6 years experience as a Governor. In my opinion, unabashed conservative champion Pat Buchanan would have made the greatest US President in the last 70 years and his experience was limited to appointed posts working for four presidents with no electoral experience. However, had he had some time as a Senator from his home-state of Virginia for example, he would have made for a far more credible and formiddable candidate. Congressman, do not as a rule get elected President. Senators and Governors often do though. Tancredo would make for a great President, more dedicated to the conservative cause even then Ronnie Reagan, I have no doubt, but to win he needs more experience and name-recognition.
