Sorry, But I Can't Support a "Risky" Candidate for President!
Edited on Mon Aug-04-08 12:45 PM by MarianJack
If someone has their lips super glued to bush's ass and has voted with him 95+% of the time, he's too risky!

If someone is so bankrupt of ideas that he has to reach back to the 70s (nuclear power) and 80s/90s
(vouchers) for solutions to problems, he's too risky!

If someone wants to continue a war based on lies ("how about a hundred?") or start a new one ("bomb, bomb, bomb...), he's too risky!

If someone was involved in scandal (Keating 5), he's too risky!

If someone has too hot a temper, he's too risky!

If someone's too damn old that he's hopelessly out of touch with those he seeks to govern, he's too risky!

I could go on, but time is short and I think I've made my point. Additions, however, are welcomed!

PEACE!

2. If someone has to figure out what to do with his family's assets if elected, he's WAY too risky.
If someone's family members have to give up their cushy jobs with finance companies in trouble, he's too risky.

12. It Would be Best for Her...
...if she doesn't gain weight and become wheelchair bound.

I'd LOVE to see if there was an iron-clad prenup.

9. If someone panders to the religious right by trying to find the "right"
Edited on Mon Aug-04-08 12:04 PM by DesertedRose
leader to endorse them (Parsley-Hagee-Graham), they'll likely compromise themselves and pander on other things that are much more risky as well!

And if someone is willing to allow themselves to be racially swiftboated about someone in their own family, without saying a PEEP about it, only to turn around and engage in similar tactics themselves....they're not only risky, they're stupid.

I'd also add anyone with faulty knowledge of middle eastern geography and doesn't know the difference between shia and sunni in this day and age, yet wants to lead on foreign policy, is pretty damn risky.

he's too risky!

If someone boasts about finishing 894th out of 899, he is too risky!
