If you could have one person be president, who could succesfully push their agenda, who would it be?

I think Gore. He invented the internet.

I liked him. And his rebel yell. FOR THE HORDE!! (any warcraft players will get that).
I also liked Sharpton. He was awesome.
If I could award the job to anyone, it would be Dennis Kucinich, but that's the only way he'd ever get it. A Communist president RadLib.....I dunno.

Hell it would be a new experience. I've already got the new flag picked out.
anyone I want?
I still propose Governor Brian Schweitzer of Montana.
LT. Governor John Bohlinger - Republican **** Governor Brian Schweitzer - Democrat
Since Schweitzer won't be on the ballot,
I'd MUCH PREFER Dean.
The man has brains, is on the right track,
and has leadership talent!

I watched the debates during the Democratic primary race. Al Sharpton kicked ass every time.
There is nothing I wouldn't give to see Al Sharpton debate George W. Bush on national TV.

Anybody know the real story of my pic with the axe handle? In Canada we are (thankfully) spared the DNC and RNC speeches (aside from highlights) but I'm curious what the axe handle was about.

I'd like to see ANYBODY debate GW,
only George has to be naked! (no possibility of a wire!)
I voted for...ME! I'm smarter, better looking (clothed or naked), nicer, more articulate and poor. What I would pull down in straight presidents' pay would be more than enough. I wouldn't need to steal yours, too. And the retirement pay is the same, one term or two. I wouldn't even stand for re-election. In fact, I like the idea of a single-term limit for the office of president.
Hell Zooks, I'd vote for ya!
(but you gotta buy the beer for the big "thanks to all the people who voted for me" Party)

Brewski's on me! Wait, if I say that up front, am I buying votes? Shit, I've fallen to corruption. See what politics can do to an honest man? Power corrupts, and I don't need absolute power. I'm not looking to be absolutely corrupted. A little is already too much.

Zooks, you are pretty good, but I bet even you would not enjoy going up against Al Sharpton.
I'd LOVE it! In fact, I'd ask him to be my vice-president.

I'll vote for the ticket if Al is President and you are the vice president. Not the other way around. Sorry.
You're on! My ego isn't THAT big. In fact, I like to think I would return an air of humility to the office of vice-president. Hell, most people wouldn't even know I was there, except for the white house staff. I'd organize 'em, bring in a union. Haha!

Unionize the staff of the Vice President! You are da man! Got my vote! What a symbolic gesture! That's what we need . Another Teddy Roovevelt. Who knows, we might eventually see Zooks face on Mt. Rushmore.
I voted write in and my write in is random lottery.
Our president should be picked by a random lottery every term.

No, we have a puppet in the house.
Why do you think Mamma Bush is so pissed?
His puppet masters haven't been good to the puppet!
Yeah, they keep feeding him lies to tell us and then cutting his nose back down. Shrub=little tree=Pinocchio!

More McCain Attacks: Murtha ‘Sentimental,’ ‘Never Been a Big Thinker’
On Sunday, Sen. John McCain — regularly lauded for his nonpartisan “straight talk” — attacked Rep. John Murtha for having “become too emotional” over the Iraq war.
McCain was simply repeating the line he had given Byron York in an interview for the New Republic. That piece is now online, and as you’ll see below, McCain was even more personal when speaking to York:
John Murtha is “a lovable guy,” but “he’s never been a big thinker; he’s an appropriator.” Using language that Bush never could, McCain tells me that Murtha has become too emotional about the human cost of the war. “As we get older, we get more sentimental,” McCain says. “And [Murtha] has been very, very affected by the funerals and the families. But you cannot let that affect the way you decide policy.”
We’ll put aside whether 69-year-old John McCain should be referencing 73-year-old John Murtha’s age to dismiss his policy positions. But with McCain’s comments about Murtha’s intellectual capacity in mind, it’s worth noting some of Murtha’s accomplishments.
For three decades, U.S. presidents of both parties have turned to Murtha for advice on our nation’s most sensitive national security issues. For instance, he “worked closely with President George H.W. Bush” in the lead-up to the first Iraq war. Murtha also authored a highly-praised book that one reviewer described “an analytical history of defense and foreign affairs matters that Murtha has been involved in from the Vietnam War through Sept. 11.”
Pretty good for someone who’s “never been a big thinker.”

There needs to be someone to clearly define our path.

Damn, you sounded like me for a minute.
barak obama...he is the coolest person ever. my sister met him and she said he was really nice
I have read his book and once he gets some years under his belt, I think he will pan out rather nicely.
I'm truly ready for the Native American way of getting "chiefs"> the oldest and wisest are it! If I had my druthers , I would have John Conyers be prez, and Arlen Specter be VP.
In the real world, I'll vote for Howard Dean next time!

I'd vote for Hillary Clinton, she's very sharp and believes in doing more for the U.S. domestic front rather than foreing policy and the military. It is time to worry about our own country before worrying about other countries and I believe Clinton could do that.
If not Clinton, I'd vote for me!

Al Sharpton would be a wise choice.
Or anyone chosen by the INDIVIDUALS in the party, rather than corporate or old line party leadership.
Howard Dean is also attractive for this reason, as would former Oregon govenor John Kitzhaber, the current previously mention govenor of Montana or a half dozen others.
