I'm also voting for Bush. No surprise there. But the fact remains, anyone who has the character to be a good president is too smart to even consider putting themselves into the current system. Both Republicans and Democrats are sellouts to their respective special interests, while single-issue parties like the Greens are about as useful as tits on a boar hog. A true Libertarian would be refreshing, but they tend to be wackos.

I want my dad to run. He's a good dad, which is IME a good 40% of the job. He never raised his hand against us kids unless it was to swat our butts, and that was mostly form over function - never left a mark. The only exception was when my brother tried to pick a fight with him, and was launched about 10 feet into the air on the toe of dad's boot. Also, he won't watch a movie that has the F-word in it, because it's 'crude'. He listens to old country music from his childhood. He refuses to ask for medical disability from the government even though being a Navy radioman screwed up his hearing. He likes guns, but thinks the NRA is full of shit. He builds things with his hands, and was a college professor for 30 years. He hates liberalism though. And gay marriage makes him turn 4 shades of mottled purple. So does Britney Spears, whom he has deemed "a heifer". So don't be expecting a moderate. At least he's honest though, which puts him above the rest of the politicians.

Vote my dad.
