I gotta love when the other side of the contest gives advice to their opponents.
Former President Bill Clinton acknowledges that Mitt Romney and Rick Perry are the clear front-runners for the Republican presidential nomination, but he says it’s too early to count out former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
Thanks Billy, we’ll take this with as much reguard as when Newsweek said John Huntsman’s shit smelled like warm apple pie.
You don’t want to take my advice on what would make a good Democrat either, because I’d describe a Democrat that sounds a lot like a Libertarian with concerns for national defense.
We’re on different sides because we see things a different way. Also in the end most of these people are total partisan hacks, they support the weakest candidate, and then attack them mercilessly once they’re out front. See also the Media’s handling of John McCain. Mac was the golden boy of the MSM until the other Republicans folded then that week they claimed he could never be president because he was born in Panama. (Now the Panama Canal zone, and on a US Army Base, both of which were US Soil at the time)
Snakes and their games…
I’m of the firm belief that anyone who seeks public office is unqualified to hold it, simply because they want to hold it. In my mind, politics should be a filthy job that no one wants to perform, like working with raw sewage (but I repeat myself).
Instead, I propose that we have a variant of Heinlein’s concept of Federal Service, in that we DRAFT our politicians straight out of college. Make it a mandatory 2-year term, with equally mandatory term limits. This wouldn’t work in the case of the President, but for Congress it can’t possibly be worse than what we have now.
Certainly would have its merits, and would avoid what is an obvious, and realistic catch-22
