As a Republican I disagree with many of the policies of the current administration. I don't feel that they represent the majority of Americans and just barely represent the majority of Republicans. He got reelected because we looked at the alternative and said to ourselves that it is better to stick with the bad option we were already familiar with.. It’s almost inexcusable that the Dems couldn’t pull off a victory in ’04. It’s time for a change within our own party and I’m going to be doing what I can to make that happen. I believe this so much so that I would strongly consider supporting a centrist Democrat to ratchet the Republicans away from the far right. I’d like to see and would consider voting for John Edwards, Russ Feingold or even Howard Dean, but would not even consider voting for Hillary as I just don’t like her and don’t think she has earned anything to warrant the office. That is except be the mistress (I mean wife) of the last President. She can’t even decide on her name much less real issues not written down for her. I will say this again: If Hillary is the democratic candidate I don’t think the Dems have a chance at the White House. Competition is a good thing… Please support an electable candidate. Didn’t John Kerry teach you guys anything!? Is it just me or am I always picking topics that I am on the defensive about? Thank you for your comment though.

I think what we should do is rewrite it so that every 8 years we just switch back and forth between the families. Give Hillary her 8 years, then we could give Jeb 8 years, after that Chelsea should be old enough for her 8 years, then one of the Bush daughters could slide in there. After that, I am sure we could find a cousin or something from the Clinton side. Obviously the switch back and forth has been good for the country so far, so where's the support that this wouldn't be the best thing for America? All joking aside, I don't always agree with you, but I think you do have a valid argument that you are making, and I wouldn't necessarily call it a rant. But, thats probably because I do agree with you on this point.
