One does not tack on a 'legacy' in a handful of months and that is prescription for disaster. If your time in office does not speak for itself, then no 'legacy' will help you and only hurt the Nation.<BR/><BR/>2) Presidents must not set out to be 'liked'. Admired, respected and even loved... but the moment one bends to wanting to be 'liked' we seem to end up with all sorts of idiocy going on. GWB and this illegal alien 'legacy' and wanting to be 'liked' for it, Clinton trying to be 'liked' by everyone and getting snookered by North Korea and Saddam and al Qaeda and the EU in the Balkans and... GHWB and wanting to be 'liked' for not completing the job in Iraq. Reagan wanting to be 'liked' for actually standing up to the USSR, and for *not* responding to Hezbollah attacks nor to confronting Iran, that being 'liked' in the Middle East doesn't work. Carter wanted everyone to 'like' and appreciate him and ended up being a doormat to Iran and the USSR and diminishing our military capability. Ford was likeable, but was in a nasty place after Nixon. Nixon didn't much care about being liked *until* Watergate hit the fan, then trying his non-existant charm and hard nosed attitude made the acts even worse... should have just stuck to being a scoundrel and not a mealy-mouthed one after trying to kiss up to China. I know why he did that and even agree, to a point, but after that point... LBJ shone in the reflection of JFK, but could not convince the Nation of anything and had no moral fiber for warfare... JFK wanted to be loved by everyone, but quite some few could love him but not like him, but that didn't matter to him - charisma uber alles. Everyone liked Ike to start with, so he had to win no likeability contests. Truman was respected for being a tough as nails politician and even loved, but liking him was a tough thing to do.<BR/><BR/>- I like tough as nails politicians that support the Nation and uphold it and do not waffle around trying to find out where their Nationalism *is*. But that is only me.<BR/><BR/>3) The next President is a War President. If they put any non-war, non-security items in their top 5 speaking agenda and plans, they can go to hell. This Nation has no real problems beyond surviving as a Nation... not abortion, not medical care, not social security, not taxes, not inflation, not SCOTUS selections. If a candidate tries to put forth that there is *not* a war going on, then I know that they have walked in from an alternate reality and do not live in this one. The War and Security of the Nation to BE a Nation are paramount: Scope of the conflict, Forces needed to fight it properly, economic support in the way of production, Securing the borders, Cleaning up the terrorist cells allied with drug gangs and organized crime. An outlook to ask for the FULL and COMPLETE War Powers and also start listing terrorist organizations as Piratical organizations so the full war powers can be properly deployed is necessary. Any candidate that gives breathing space to any 'social issue' when the society, its culture and the Nation are being heavily corroded by having NO SECURITY is delusional. The obverse of the Franklin insight is also true: those that pay for no security get no freedom. It is at that point where we are currently at and seeing our freedom and liberty erode from Left and Right.<BR/><BR/>4) Whenever an opponent decries anything done by America the retort should be: PROVE IT. As in - multiple source documentation of the FACTS. Not pandering to emotions to put mere assertions ahead of facts. I hear lots of assertions from both Parties and their Candidates: it is time to lay the cards down and show the facts behind those arguments, good and bad, or fold up your tent and get out. There is a swath of politicians in the race that are putting forth non-factual and non-evidence based assertions about the Nation and they need to be called on it: D and R, BOTH.<BR/><BR/>Does anyone remember 'Law and Order Republicans'?<BR/><BR/>Can we find a few of those or are they a thing of the past and only a historical footnote?<BR/><BR/>That is my basic checklist to ensure that the next President is actually operating in this world and not some other, and bothers to identify what needs to be done and *why*. Notice that not one single 'program' is on that agenda, they are all outlooks and goals which need to be sustained. Programs are mere tactical ways to try and get to them and should be tried and used if they work, or discarded if they do not... not put in place forevermore.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and if you have served in the past two Congresses, you are immediately disqualified for the collective incompetence of the Congress and the lack of hearing voices from WITHIN the Chambers to decry that is deafening in its silence. And if you served since 1986, you had your chance to do something and take a stand and fulfill the promises put forward to the Nation. That means that one must be a 'doer' and 'thinker' or at least actually carry out on the right things to protect the Nation. That is THE standard I use for politicians: Do it or shut up and get out. If talking problems to death worked, we would be in paradise after Clinton.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, that leaves an incredibly short list.<BR/><BR/><B>Honor</B><BR/>Do as you say.<BR/>Say what you mean.<BR/>Mean what you do.A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-88828441469742164892007-05-31T22:54:00.000-07:002007-05-31T22:54:00.000-07:00But consider this:Is Tancredo positioned for the o...But consider this:<BR/><BR/>Is Tancredo positioned for the one right reason for the one right moment in time?<BR/><BR/>I don't know.

In the debates he comes across as this arrogant, self-righteous know it all. The only reason conservatives like him is because of his stance on immigration and as important as that is it doesn't make up for all the rest that he lacks, IMHO.Dionnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05013166054883351020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-24488726664315637612007-05-31T21:41:00.000-07:002007-05-31T21:41:00.000-07:00Ranando: yes.
