If, as the editorial suggests, this guy can cause some rational actual debate on ISSUES rather than powder puff and the blame game he will have accomplished quite a bit. I for one wouldn't mind seeing that.
We need more than sound bites that say nothing as a platform for being elected. We do not need any more he did this, she didn't do that, I have a plan or I am the decider.
We need someone to step up and say this IS my plan and how I will implement it with cooperative effort with Congress, as well as this plan will accomplish X if done. If you cannot express the plan, it does not exist.
All 3 branches of Govt. need to function and 2 MUST cooperate in order to get anything done in a timely and rational manner. Petty differences need to be put aside and a definite shift to determining what the country needs from what the elected official needs is long overdue.

Good article.

I'm not a republican myself, but after the dems won the senate and the house, I would have loved to see Bush get a crapload of pens. One for each and ever bill he would veto.
Just to throw a wrench in the works.
But Bush is a pansy and has promised "cooperation."

You misspelled 'editorial', but I agree, this guy sounds very interesting. I'd support someone who accurately and solidly acted as directed by the constitution as this gent promises, but I'd be remiss if I didn't scrutinize that interpretation closely to make sure it was legit.
There are whole professions built around selective interpration of documents, whether it's law or religion. The 'real deals' are few and far between, but precious like gold when found.

About a hundred more of this guy and we'd be set. We'd still get most of the reality tv entertainment value of C-SPAN without the annoying legislature to go along with it.

Do a look up of this guy and research. Been following this guys career for some time now. His thoughts on the Constitution and Bill of Rights sugest he is in accord with what many believe is the CORRECT way of viewing said documents. Everything I've ever read that he expressed says he IS.
He is NOT for an America based on religion, BUT he is for indvidual rights PLUS individual responsibility.
If anything he is a Liberatarian.

"One example is the continuing disaster that is the drug war, which Paul rightly believes to be both immoral and unconstitutional. "
"He returned to Congress as a Republican in 1996, even though the party machinery opposed him in the primary"
Hes not a lame party hack and can see the war on drugs has been lost?, hes got my vote.

Let's start a betting pool on how long it will be, if he is as good as it seems, before he gets caught by the balls and corrupted like, or by the rest of them..

IMHO, he's near incorruptible. He's made a career out of sticking to his principles, even to the point of voting AGAINST subsidies that his constituents would benefit from, yet they keep voting for him.

If he picks Ted Nugent for a running mate, he'd get my vote.

May not happen. He's been around for awhile ( least 10 years?) now. If they really think he might win they will pull out smears, or make some up, or maybe even ................
IMHO he either doesn't think he will even come close, OR he's got some REAL GUTS!

I think Jimmy Carter should be re-elected.
He paved the way in foreign policy, especially with iran, iraq, and the middle east in general.
He handled communism and the cold war with russia, outstandingly.
He's a democrat, and they are the best.
He actually helped to create the way alot of modern democrats deal with most problems today. He's a great man, and a true hero!
If you don't believe me, just do a quick google search. Type in "Jimmy Carter and the shah".
Yay for Jimmy Carter.
I guess if Jimmy doesn't run, then i'll have to vote for Hillary or Obama since they are the the descendants of the Jimmy way of life.
Go Dems!!!!

Ted Nugent isn't as smart or as clever as most people think he is. While I think the guy is interesting, I don't believe he is capable of leading anything.

Vice prez leads what?

Not true! He has proven himself quite capable of leading a rock band!:D :noid
Frank Zappa for prez! Too bad they can't keep someones head alive in a jar like in Futurama. I'd vote for Franks head over any of the current crop of politicos.
-
Nugent could lead a safari and kill an eat wild animals.
-
I know a VP presides the Senate, but in practice, how much does he need leadership qualities, relative to other political positions?

I personally would say that Bush is way smarter then Nugent. Just like me, Bush is a poor public speaker. Just because he isn't great at speaking doesn't mean he's dumb.
However, The Nuge just seems to repeat the same things over and over and seems like he has trouble forming thoughts. But that's only when I see him speaking about a certain issue and answering questions.

Ted Nugent, Rock star and avid Bowhunter was being interviewed by a French journalist and the discussion came around to deer hunting. The journalist asked, "What do you think is the last thought in the head of a deer before you shoot him? Is it, "Are you my friend?" or is it "Are you the one who killed my brother?'"
Nugent replied, "Deer aren't capable of that kind of thinking. All they care about is, "What am I going to eat next, who am I going to screw next, and can I run fast enough to get away. They are very much like the French."
Score one for the Nuge.
