You have to be realistic, ice-cold, and rational. You cannot AFFORD to be anything else - and I don't just mean money. If you cannot take ideology and feelings out of it and make rational, intelligent decisions that are realistic, then you have no business in the White House or any other position of power.

Sorry, folks, but that's the truth. *shrugs* And this guy sounds to me like he should be a professor/teacher or director of a NGO non-profit org. NOT the president of one of the most influential countries of the world. *cringes*

On the other hand, the other fart ain't much better. *sigh* What a choice. A crazy ass, antagonistic fart who is stuck back in the cold war era and refuses to move on as he imposes his strange world view on the rest of the us, or an idealistic, pie-in-the-sky, irrational jackass who thinks he can just change everything by waving a magic wand and saying, TA-DA!

Sorry, I'll calm down now....<takes a deep breath>

It basically comes down to what policies you support. Grandpa Alzheimer's votes with Bush 90% of the time, so if you think the Bush presidency is/was great, support McCain.
