Asking me to pick between GWB and HRC is akin to asking me whether i'd want to jump off of a bridge and hit water or jump off of a building and hit concrete!

(lol)

That was the point of the thread. Trying to determine what people would do if confronted with a choice between the lesser of two evils again.

I chose Hillary. One has already proven to be a bad choice. I would rather choose the other and at least have SOME hope for the best.

If you don't want federal involvement in education, best talk to your President. His NCLB has changed education from teaching children to teaching children to pass multiple choice tests.

alas getting education out of the federal level isn't going to happen anytime soon,its imbedded too much,much like social security.

President Bush would be my choice (again). He's taking the war on terrorism seriously and keeping it from happening in our country.

Hillary - wow, what to say? Bill, as 1st Husband, would be humping everything in sight in the Whitehouse (again). No thanks!

Oh, that poor little fish!

Please! Fish are meant to be caught and eaten. Even if by a dog. You sound like a radical PETA member. Calling someone a sociopath because a little fish was flopped over for Barney to bat around is just ludicrous - and hilarious that someone would equate this to being "conscienceless and having a corrupt soul". That's just outright friggin' hilarious!

That would be an easy choice if she really was a "feminist commie lib"; but your comment shows your lack of knowledge about her. I suggest you pay more attention to all sources before demonstrating your ignorance.

Of course, comments such as the ones I've been reading here go a long way towards explaining how someone like Bush got elected in the first place...

I vote for Hillery!

Doesn't most of our tax spending go to Defense? (You can't look at SS & Medicare because those programs are paid for out of separate funds.)
