My ideal prez candidate? The one who doesn't want to be re-elected.
The next president should have a *like unconcern for public "opinion" and guts of cast iron.

We need a president who will have the guts to propose packing the SCOTUS and getting us the hell out of the Mideast and talking to the rest of the world--and the MSM will rip said Prez to shreds over it, and that of course shapes public opinion.

Just look at what SCOTUS has done in the past few days alone and what Congress and the enabling SCOTUS has done in just 6 years.

We need a president--and for that matter, a Congress, who's prepared--even willing--to NOT be re-elected if this country is to survive.

Are we prepared for that? I am--if we can find the goods.

4. Is he really willing to NOT be re-elected?

Gore's way up on my list but I want to see at least one candidate address what SCOTUS has done and how s/he intends to remeby the damage that's been done to the Constitution.

While I will vote (even if I have to hold my nose) for whomever wins the nomination, I fear that none of them have the real courage to do what is necessary to undo the damage the Bush cabal has inflicted.

Can any one of them truly put country first?

Edit: my crappy typing this AM.

5. That's why I'm voting for Optimus Prime (of Transformers fame)
He has literal guts of cast iron. And he as at least as likely to get elected as a candidate who doesn't want to be reelected.
