That could take a while. Have you seen that guy?

However, I agree with you. I'd love to see him come in and wipe the floor with the current crop as well as Big O.

Four times in 42 years of voting - once for Prime Minister, once for Provincial Premier, once for Provincial Member and once for Mayor. All the rest (I always vote) have been for the least bad choice. We don't have "None of the above" as a choice on our ballots.

i like rare steak also. the current administration is just too well done. i'm speaking of the (lame lefty liberals). as is the career politicians on the other side, (the mighty righty whiteys). they all need to retire and we need to put some FRESH meat into our government, else we're destined for more of the same bs that's constipating legislation now.......

aye bent, i believe they call it "choosing the lesser of two evils"......

no, i didn't "waver" in my support for my candidate of choice. i was merely stating his possibilities if he wasn't the republican nominee......

if he isn't the nominee, then i'm forced back to "choosing the lesser of two evils". i always vote. i believe that if you choose not to vote, bitching about the government should be off limits......
