I do think Bush is an idiot. Anyone who claims that he has done good for education in his state and says something like "Is our children learning?" must be a complete ass. Gore is a liar, but it worked for Clinton. But I personally think they all suck. Everyone of the would lie, cheat, steal, kill, sell their soul to satan, etc... in order to become President. Just elect Bill Gates, he's running the country anyway. He might be able to turn America into a more profitable business. But the best nominees would be Gary Busey or Robert Downey Jr. Now that would be a fun country.
