What Politician Do You Wish Would've Ran (or Won) the US Presidency?

Not to nitpik or anything, but the question was for what politician do you wish would have run.

And my thread title should have said Ran For, not Ran.

Since we're not nit-picking, Scott, the title actually should have said run, not ran. ;):D

Come on. You can do better than that. :dunno:

This comment coming from someone who said Pat Buchanan? :1orglaugh

OK....if forced to choose someone who has not already been mentioned, I would have to say John Glenn. He would have made an outstanding leader for America.
 
John Edwards. It's a shame he went and screwed everything up with that affair.

I agree! Forbid he won and the affair came out. It would have Bill Clinton's deal in the worst way. I like Bill too, but the he would have drawm thru the ringer!
 
Iowa Congressman King! :bowdown: :D


or James Trafficant :p




You'll never convince this board full of "RDDB's", n-e-v-e-r! :1orglaugh

I saw him on Fox once and I was really impressed. Not terribly familiar with him, but I did briefly read up on him and liked what read.

Come on, Buchanan was/is awesome! :D He's still awesome on MSNBC.

HA! I think I remeber someone saying once that a lot of good presidents were adulterers.:D

From what I've heard, RFK had a similar mix of conservative and liberal views as I do. We could have avoided Watergate and thus avoided Carter's presidency as well.

Yeah. It is a shame that we didn't get to see RFK in action. You know the little brother usually does things with a chip on his shoulder and acts a bit more cautiously because he will receive more scrutiny than the eldest son. Basically, this translates into the little brother being a little less likely to fuck up than the big brother *cough* Jeb Bush.;)
 
One politician who I wished had run and won was Barry Goldwater.

Banned
Barack Hussein Obama because oil price will be much more lower compared when Bush becomes US president.

Oh I agree....Buchanan is great....as a pundit and spin doctor (and as a speechwriter for Nixon) that is. I also thought [/I]Where the Right Went Wrong[/I] was a great read and very insightful. However, I also like John Grisham's books but that doesn't mean I'd want him as president.

To each his own....we could do worse (and have). :)

Also, Edwards would have been awful. He's a total fraud. I'm glad he got ratted out before we were dumb enough to possibly elect him.

Why save the world, when you can rule it?
^ There are politicians that are not rich in America.
I was NOT aware of that. Example please?
I assume they're a rare breed?

Imagine if any of the following had gained control of the usa:
Stalin
Lenin
Clement Atlee
James Kier Hardy
Hitler
Fidel Castro.

When an older and wiser man is talking, just listen and learn as there aren't enough of them to go round. :2 cents:
