Heading Down the Opine Highway

Just read the Headline: Bush signs new rules on government wiretapping
(First I checked to make sure it wasn't written by an AP staff member based on something they gleaned from the latest ET episode) with my interest peeked, I continued past the headline (which is unusual for me) and read into the first paragraph.

I didn't really make it past the first 2 paragraphs. That's right, I read 43 words and couldn't take it.

In a nutshell... The BIG NEWS is that BUSH signed new rules on government wiretapping... that "grants immunity to telecommunications companies that helped the U.S. spy on Americans in suspected terrorism cases" Wowie Kazowie Mr. President, that sure is nice of you.

OK, spurred on by my reevaluation of ... myself, I forced myself to continue reading. Here are the facts that I gleaned from this article

#1) The democrats have been pondering the "warrantless wiretapping" since 9/11 and it only got passed because they didn't want to see "weak" against terrorists.

#2) President Bush is a Lame Duck, that is able to get most anything he wants from the democratic congress.

There's more... oh there's more, but I just can' t take it.

SO..... a hem..... I'd like to ask you a question.

If you could "create" a candidate. If you could put together the perfect candidate.. seriously, what would he/she be? What would he/she look like, what would he/she do differently when campaigning and what would he/she do differently when running the country... got that?

Well, it's your turn to write.
