In our time, the position of POTUS has become a celebrity endorsement, and not a selection of a Command-in-Chief. It's like Dancing With The Stars, Celebrity Chef (like "Hell's Kitchen"), and maybe a touch of "Family Feud" (with the new host).

Whoever gets the most recorded votes, with NO OTHER qualification, is now the "Best President Ever".

And then, as before, only the law-abiding will follow the law.

That part is still the same.

Senator Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts. She's even more of a collectivist ideologue than Obama is.

We don't have to settle for more garbage. If you must consent by voting, then ignore the DemRep candidates who are selected only for their blackmail-loyalty qualification.

While possibly (probably) true on both counts. Either would still be better than Hilary!

Agreed, Susanne, LOL! Every time I think the Liberal Dems can't possibly get any worse they find a way to take it to a whole new level. I never would believe there would be a worse POTUS than JEC and the current resident is the whole new low level.

Well stated, mcc... and you are correct - while JEC had an honorable service record, and for all the eglatarian works he does currently, his legacy as POTUS still stands...Even saying that, however, I would rather have him back than continue on the current vein with the current occupier of the White House... That's a sad thought, but true nonetheless.

27 years...but who's counting?

My premise is military service is not a necessity for quality service as POTUS and showed proof of argument. Your response is well taken and well respected, but it does not refute the proof or the premise.

Honorable military service in a presidential candidate may be icing on the cake, but it isn't the whole cake and, IMHO, the whole cake better be well made. Military service may be a road to leadership, but it is not the only road nor is it a guarantee of high quality leadership. That's why I commented about John Kerry in my post. A snake with military service is still a snake and I will not vote for him/her.

I rationally disagree with the premise that all POTUS must have military experience. If you "feel" they should, that is your opinion and you are welcome to it and I will respect it.

After reading the Our Philosophy part,
http://clinton.com/cgi-bin/about/philoso... , I can honestly say that MY financial manager, Fisher Investments, would label that entire page as rampant bullshit and be laughing their heads off at the stupid assertions. Their 'philosophy' is a recipe for investment disaster.

sad.

LOL! <snort>

I think we can all agree that Broccoli is completely out of the question for a suitable VP.

No pantalones? How racist. ;-)

Scott

Scott Walker for GOP candidate. I hope he survives the feeding frenzy. I'd be willing to bet that the GOP won't support him like they didn't Cruz.

They do seem to hit high center when it snows.

What blows me away (hopefully not literally) is that we the people are so anesthetized that they forget that a lot of what he, um, "spewed" upon us came from his other half...

On second thought, knowing "We the sheeple", who have been programmed to forget, I am not.

Pardon me - Before I reply i need to find some listerine, as ITIJTUIMMJALB...

There is no way she could put ol' "Wad o' bills" as veep - one, as VP he wouldn't be knowledgable to the info he would be as just her husband, and two, she knows it would kill her chances of success - he is a liability; even the most ardent supporter would pitch her like a dead skunk (OK, well, A=A, but her supporters apparently *like* dead skunks) if she took this loser, disaster of America, magnet of scandal with an IQ lower than Roscoe P. Coletrane as veep.

My guess is she would at a minimum put in Hari Kerry... tho the final choice (as are most things dealt with by the Party Commisariat) will no more be up to her as was partnering John McCain with Sarah Palin, and then filling her head with psychobabble to make sure he was not a contender.

If - god forbid, please, no - she somehow suckseeds Ø, I will have a GTFOOD party at the forge, and start planning for a rertreat somewhere far far away... I am thinking that Baja may well be too close (no offense, H&H) to escape the American Il Duca, or more precisely, "il dittatore in un tailleur pantalone"...

Isn't Marilyn Chambers the girl that used to dance for White Rain? Why not? We haven't had a porn star for president yet. Don't you want a porn star for president?

We haven't even had a chance to come up with what Obama and Hillary is going to do with the internet now that they control it. Raising taxes will be one of the first things so that many people will not be able to afford to use it. The speech police will come shortly blanking out anything typed that they don't want published.

What about the other unexplained deaths during the Clinton years. Like maybe Foster?

Not only did Slick Willie not serve in the military, he was actively a draft dodger.

There are some I agree with over half the time, but should we slowly (or quickly) reduce the cost and intrusiveness of the federal gov't is never one of the issues for mainstream candidates.

She'll want her husband Slick Willie for VP. As before, neither the news media (of any type) nor any political party will vet her carefully to give us real information that we can verify and depend on when making our decisions (assuming our decisions are counted - I'm sure the overseas military votes will disappear into the ocean or the onboard boilers as usual. It's well documented that she hates and disrespects the military). Better start deciding what you are going to wear to her inauguration party.
