I want someone intelligent, brave, not tied into oil-wealth, pro-education, -choice, -healthcare, -evolution.

I remember the story about JFK during the Cuban missile crisis- all his "experienced" advisors wanted him to attack the Russian ships when they got to the first "stop" line, but JFK felt, in his gut, that he had to give the Russians a bit more time, so he did. Now we find out that if he had followed the advice of his experienced advisors the Russians would have retaliated and we'd have been in WWIII.<BR/><BR/>Fuck experience, I want a decent human bean as President.Forrest Properhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15962708844204376272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659346512371488571.post-19286371655325958372008-01-12T19:10:00.000-08:002008-01-12T19:10:00.000-08:00Honestly, I'll vote for anyone who doesn't have a ...Honestly, I'll vote for anyone who doesn't have a strong connection to Bush or any of his leanings.Buzzardbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755522048417416544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659346512371488571.post-73608791742233847172008-01-11T15:07:00.000-08:002008-01-11T15:07:00.000-08:00I too am a fifty-something.

Kucinich is about as electable as my flock of turkeys.<BR/>I love the guy ever since he was the youngest mayor in America back in the 70s and I think it's great he was elected to congress, but he's not going to get elected president in this lifetime.<BR/>Yea, yea, ideology is all well and good if you're 21, but as a pragmatic 50 something I don't just vote with my heart anymore.SagaciousHillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09511441325695460501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659346512371488571.post-17255171967915968272008-01-11T11:09:00.000-08:002008-01-11T11:09:00.000-08:00I am curious as to why you don't consider Dennis K...I am curious as to why you don't consider Dennis Kucinich, he espouses all the left of the center beliefs that I know of..<BR/><BR/>Obama, on the other hand only partially does.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698117410778232102noreply@blogger.com
