You got that right RebelDarlin, I have no problems with a women President, but Hillary (Hitllary) isnt the one.
Im not fond of any of them on any side Dem or GOP. Im waiting to see what happens when Fred Thompson kicks it in. I liked Reagan when he was in, maybe we need another Actor/Politician, in the White House.

Let's see actor/politician...Sonny's dead, Arnold isn't qualified (not born in the US), I think Jesse Ventura retired. Martin Sheen was very Presidential in that TV show, but his real politics suck. No one I can think of....Besides I thought they were all leaving the country if Bush got re-elected. HMMMM they're still here. Damn. Wish they'd all just learn their lines and stick to their scripts! :wink: |
