A Good Man

LEO McGARRY: "... Because I'm tired of it: year after year after year after year having to choose between the lesser of who cares. Of trying to get myself excited about a candidate who can speak in complete sentences. Of setting the bar so low, I can hardly bear to look at it. They say a good man can't get elected President. I don't believe that. Do you?"

@philWynk Why is it pure fantasy? The lines between the major parties, regardless of the country you are in, are so blurred, the candidates so lifeless, that a choice between a good orator and someone who will do a workman like job is frustratingly the way we all get 'good government'

Till the bloke/blokette gets in.. then we see their true self.. then we vote them out in the same vain hope that they cant be as bad as the last lot

We need a leader. who will do what they say they will. Always!

@darkthunder84 Seriously, son. You guys really do ALL say the same things. Is as though you're programmed...

[philWynk]

@darkthunder84 LOL!!!! OMFG!!!!! This is HILARIOUS!!!!!

You don't even realize that "I'm not a Dem or a Repub" was ALSO written for you by the handlers??? OMG, son... anybody who's ever attempted to persuade a Democrat robot of ANYTHING has heard "I'm not a Dem or Repub" hundreds of times in response. You are a COW. GROW THE FUCK UP AND FIND A BRAIN!!!!@!!@!

@philWynk I don't consider myself a Democrat or a Republican. Not every person on the face of the planet, is born and living in the US you know. If anything, i'd consider myself to be fairly liberal, and somewhere inbetween the left and right sides of the political scale. So any insults you try to throw my way, will simply go ignored. Sadly, you get hurt by the sad truth about the US former President, who initiated two wars, which the US is still knee deep in.

@ShortStackB5 You're upset about being characterized by nothing but your party? And you don't see any irony in that? OMFG, I can barely stop laughing...

You wouldn't last a week as a Republican, you complete imbecilic hypocrite. Do you have even a clue how many times I've been called "stupid," "Nazi," "racist," "homophobe," or any number of other epithets by Democrats who knew nothing about me but my voter registration??? It numbers in the THOUSANDS. No exaggeration. Get a freakin' clue, son.

@darkthunder84 LOL!!! Every word of that was written for you almost 10 years ago by Dem party handlers, who snicker at you and call guys like you "cows" and "retards" (their words, not mine). I'd post the rebuttal evidence for the N millionth time, but can't really see the point of attempting to convince a robot who is still reciting the Bush-hating mantra three years after he left office. Someday, perhaps, you'll unplug yourself from the Matrix, but I'm not holding my breath.

@philWynk Pretty funny statement coming from a Republican. Considering your parties former leader, is former-President George W Bush, who was quite illiterate and morality-challenged. Pretty obvious that the main cause to attack Iraq, was to finish the job his father started back in 1991. Get Saddam, at any and all cost.
