Ask any executive in any well run business and they will tell you that leadership starts from the top. Leaders in any organization have to be willing to commit to a certain set of standards, and develop a fair and functional protocol. It is imperative for those in power to use such strength for the betterment of the whole. The problem, though, lies in the numbers. Do you have the ability to appease the masses?
This is the question at hand with politics, law, and government as well.
The United States is looking for a new leader. We are in desperate need of someone that can come in and sweep out the House. Take a look at the numbers. No one at the Federal level is safe. Not the Republicans. Not the Democrats. America has all but given up on those little spirits on her shoulders.
Anyone that follows the slightest bit of history can recall even a few events of fairly recent history in which both entities have engaged in egregious acts against our laws, our morals, and even our liberties. We can count the numerous scandals taking over the White House at this very moment. Some of which spark memories of one hundred and forty something pardons given out on the last day of the previous administration, Whitewater, or perhaps Monica Lewinsky. Go back to “Senior” and bring up the gay escort scandal, the plot to assassinate Reagan, or the Gulf War. Take a look at the ever great Ronald Reagan, and find the Iran-Contra. Johnson. Kennedy. Nixon. The list goes on and on… and such are the fruits of our governmental policies.
Where did it go wrong? How are we going to fix it?
John McCain is an honorable man, or at least was. He’s obviously a war worn veteran that served this country well, but has a tendency to sell his soul. His stance on Iraq, although somewhat understood, and recent support of a failed immigration bill are prime examples. Good man. Just isn’t cut out for the job.
Mitt Romney is that guy everyone pretended to love, but was either jealous of or couldn’t stand. He’s the H.S. Quarterback; the Frat boy that didn’t seem anymore talented than anyone else yet opened doors with a fresh look, a cheesy grin, and a charm that would stick to your skin like molasses in the summer sun.
Rudy Guiliani… Let’s not get started on him. He’s that womanizing corporatist with just a hint of authoritarianism. If you think “W” is bad, just wait ‘til this guys takes the helm.
Hillary Clinton, another authoritarian. However, she hovers around the socialist side of the line. Reminds me of that girl willing to do anything to be noticed, or… in charge. Frankly, she scares me.
Barack O’bama is the preordained messiah of all peoples downtrodden and weary, AND he believes it. Somewhat unnerving. Another point is his very short record. In an odd way he reminds me of McCain. The principles are there. The potential is there, but I can’t help thinking his inexperience makes him even more susceptible to the dark-side.
John Edwards has a few ideas. They’re definitely worth some debate, but he’s just a little too pretty for me. We need someone with responsibility fiscally, and paying for public education in another nation is not being responsible. He needs to prove he’s more concerned with balancing the check-book than redecorating the White House bathrooms.
