Yes I know, I've heard of his eccentricities before and he has always come across to me on the tube as a bit of an eccentric person. He is also extremely intelligent, and I admire his mind. Your so dang lucky!!! Considering you're a big National Review fan, such as myself, I'm sure you know who Deroy Murdock is, right? A really good writer, especially on issues concerning terrorism. Well, rumor has it he's gay. But that's on the down low.  I did not know that, well you've heard of the log cabin Republicans, right? I don't care what someone else does so long as they don't insist I and the rest of society approve of that behavior. Thanks for the gossip though. |

Yeah, I saw him talking with everybody at Buckley's birthday. I was going to go over and introduce myself. Then one of the guys I know over at National Review told me that he was gay. I immediately changed my mind about going over ans shaking his hand.  But I still his work on the issues is great. |

I'll go with Reagan simply because, if for no other reason, he made it possible for us to feel proud once again. I know that may seem corny or childish, but that is how I felt during his presidency. He was assertive and bold; other world leaders knew where he stood.

Thanks, Mario... I try... sometimes... LOL
By the way, I am not a big fan of the Bush-duo. If McCain runs in 2008, I'll probably vote for him.

That may be true. Whom do you suspect will get the Republican nomination, Senator Frist?

My dream candidate would be Condi, but I really don't think that will happen either. Senator Allen is a possibility and the one I'm leaning toward myself at the moment. Even so I'm still open to be convinced by anyone seeking the nomination. |

Yeah, I was a huge Bush fan after September 11th, but at this point he's just gotten on my nerves. He lost his momentum. I long for another Ronald Reagan. But there doesn't seem to be anybody like him in politics today. Like Cameron, though, I am leaning towards George Allen. I have noticed, however, that Allen, while intelligent, can be dry at times. And, as you well know, personality is an essential component to a successful national campaign. So he may have to work on that. I don't support McCain for President. The same goes for Guiliani. Some Republicans are just too liberal. The Party needs a true Conservative to reinvigorate the Party spirit. Take care, buddy. |

I would have to give George Allen some thought. I don't think he is as charismatic as McCain, but he definitely is intelligent.
On the other side of the aisle, I really don't see any viable candidates -- period.

I might be starting a fire-storm here but I'm studying President Wilson more for one of my History classes and I am really beginning to like him  |

He had many downsides, one being that he was a bigot. If you haven't read the last few paragraphs of his war address in 1917, you should. It's really good. |

You know, there was a thread on THC that asked who was the "worst president in history." This thread was started by someone called 'Goldwater' and I read through the post. I thought it may lead to some interesting discussions so I posted that I thought Buchanan could be considered the worst president. Then, I did a little research and found an article about a survey that was done in 2000 by UIC. I found the survey to be interesting so I posted the results.
Guess what?
My posting was quickly disregarded and I was told that this topic really concerned modern-day presidents. I quickly realized this thread had absolutely nothing to do with discussing past presidents, but was just another way for people to bash the current president.
Pretty disgusting.
