Reply #31: Kool-aid comes in more than one flavor

[radfringe]

you've touched on something I have been thinking about for a long time

for many years we have been thirsting for leadership - real leadership, not photo-op'd depiction of someone acting presidential.

it's been evident over the past couple of years just how desperate we are to quench that thirst - anyone coming out with some sort of big statement condemning bush/cheney results in multiple threads calling for "x" to run for president.

This is not just a phenomenom limited to the left - it's nationwide and it's a bit scary

in the MSM much is made of haircuts and who you would have a beer with - little on issues and substance... haircuts and beers do not qualify or disqualify someone to be a leader - but it can sure as hell get one elected
