As well as the lazy kids. Basically anyone they think might not pass or is on their second attempt.
Now that's progress!
I thought Bush did an excellent job of making a case for amping up the campaign in Iraq. I have said it before - regardless of the hows and whys of our being there the fact is if we left the area or failed to stabilize it then the ramifications would be felt here at home.
What the heck was he talking about with the civilian volunteer thing? That sounded weird, and the Military brass there didn't seem too impressed at all by it
I would think if someone wanted to volunteer to go help out in that cause it would serve them better to have the benefits of being a soldier and then a veteran. Not to mention I would think it would put a strain on the military to have to babysit more civilians from the US. How could that help morale
So... who do you think will be in the White house in a couple years? Hillary? Obama? Gingrich? Guliani? McCain? Edwards?
Current polls say Hillary has a 16 point lead over Osama, oops I meant Obama
. Guliani could do well in northeastern democratic states. Gingrich is an old school Reagan type republican. McCain is widely viewed as a hot-headed nutcase. Edwards, well I just don't think he has a chance. He came off as being pretty uninformed in the vice-presidential debates a few years ago and I don't think he stands a chance.
Personally (speaking as a conservative) I really like Newt, but he has spent years doing commentary and that can often be easy ammo for the spin doctors. Guliani seems like a great guy and a strong leader but his politics may be a bit for me to get over.
I really don't think either party has a very strong candidate. Hillary is probably the strongest Dem, and there are a couple republicans I won't yet mention that I would like to see run but we'll see.
