USA President, who would do a better job?
Coming from Ireland id like to hear from all the USA members if there is someone who they feel would do a better job as President of the USA. I dont really follow USA politics much apart from the mainstream news that hits the TV here.
Opinions and views are greatly appreciated.

It is very likely, that the Democrats will shoot each other in a circular firing squad with all their squabbling, Republican canidates will have a much easier time, including our current president. Whether the electoral college or popular vote hold sway in the next election, the Democrats are disemblowling themselves politically and We will see a reprise of Pres. Bush.

Bush ain't bad but he is horrible with foriegn relations. he needs to be more concerned with other people than himself. he is too concerned with pleasing himself than others.And i dont think he knows what he is doing. thats just my opinion.

Not so sure I agree man. If Bush cared what every single world leader thought, the U.S. would be nothing but a puppet of nations like Germany and France. To be honest, if we hadn't been the same then that we are now and did what we had to do, France and Germany would be one in the same. There wouldn't be a europe, it would be just one huge mass Germany (maybe, who knows what else may have happened).
I am not putting down any other nation, What I am saying is that Bush does care. His #1 priority are us, the American people, Everyone else is secondary. Those nations who turned their back on us, on the bottom, shit list. Anyone here would be the same way.

BUSH FOR PRESIDENT
I went to war with his father and I respected his leadership and his vision, in the context of the times, he is a great leader in my opinion. His son, our president has testicles the size of Texas, and you know the world is watching with interest and perhaps regret at the fantastic success our mlitary has enjoyed, the faliures of the past generations have seemed to have been redeemed. I will vote for him again

Wow...I'm impressed at how this post hasn't turned into an all out war. Politics are kinda touchy. Good job ladies and gents on keeping it civil.
Oh...I'd vote for my current boss....again.

I think I would have to put my vote towards General "Stormin" Norman, that is if he were running. But he isn't running.....so......
As far as the candidates go, that are running now..........NONE OF THEM!!! None of them seem to have my interest's in mind, at least considering G.W.'s performance, and from watching the ad's and debates of the doomsday democrat's........I call them that because all they do is bicker amongst themselves...and when they do it.....they are pretty close to the truth about what they say about each other. All of them are making good points about the other's........and that is pointing out every fault that each of them have........and it appears to be alot. If you were to put them all in the same picture......it would make a good ad campaign for BIRTH CONTROL!! All they are doing is making G.W.'s job easier to stay in the seat. Another 4 years of him.........and we wont have a millitary left.

George Carlin would certainly be better than any of the current Yahoos, Seriously though I'd vote for anyone who wasn't a Republican or a Democrat really. A libertarian would be nice but their to dangerous to the Statist policies of our current party so.....

I dont think being a "liberal" has anything to do with it. Or if your response had anything to do with mine.....To clarify......the reason I said, "Another 4 years of him.........and we wont have a millitary left." Is because with all the deployment's of our troops.....active and reserve......extending tour's of duty......deploying in so many places........fast deplyment turn around.....and all of the other things going on with the military in general. He is causing a low recruitment rate and a HIGH retirement and ETS rate. This isn't good. Not to mention the low moral rates of the military in general because of all of this.

The electoral college was put into place for the reason that most people were idiots back then. The forefathers figured that the elected would be smart and have a much higher education than the normal people. So it's a failsafe, because remember, just because everyone wants it doesn't make it right. It's put there to make sure that we don't get a full fledged KKK guy for president, doesn't matter if everyone voted for him the electoral college could choose who they feel would do the right thing.
But I do think that the elctoral college can be removed, seeing as most of us have a pretty solid education. But then again the masses here are stupid liberals and shouldn't even be allowed to speak, so I think the elctoral college can stay around for a while longer.

LOL The world hasnt seen 1/10th of our military power. Just so you know All the recruiters I know say enlistment is doing very well. Btw Alot of soldiers Love the situation because during war times you gain rank quickly. Many privites are now E4`s now. Rank = money. Yes war is a hard time, I dont think anyone truly wants to do it. But without war you cant have peace.
