Not me. McCain talks tough but I doubt he would have "spent a million dollar missile to hit a camel in the behind". McCain is at least 5,000 times smarter and 30,000 times less EVIL than Bush. He'd never even think of implementing the KGB style "Homeland Security", but he would Osama's head on a pike outside the White House, what people really want.

Damn right, Sultan!

I want to see that man in the whitehouse!
The USA needs a man with backbone in the hotseat, not a shopkeeper.

Sorry, unregistered voters' votes must go to Bush.

Why would a soldier in office be particularly good?.

Our leader of the opposition is ex scots guards i think, and of course Paddy Ashdown was in the special boat service (similar to the S.A.S ). I dont think their past helps them in politics. Although i imagine they think twice before shouting too much at paddy ;)))

Integrity of an order far above the spineless snivelling self service business/lawyer bastards we've been exposed too all this time (no offense meant to businesmen and lawyer posters!). Respect for America not because Americans let him drink their blood and suck their stocks dry, but because he's risked his life to defend us. Respect for diplomacy, a respectful attitude toward determining the destinies of our soldiers in the field, without a trace of the smirk. McCain tells it like it really is, not afraid to cross party lines to do what is right.

which unfortunately is his downfall and the reason why Bush won for the GOP to run. i can only dream if they picked the right guy for the job instead of a puppet who will do what they say.

Because they have demonstrated that they value their nation enough to give up part of their life to serve it. Sometimes I lean towards the idea of a public service requirement for citizenship, whether it be peace corps or military.
 
Hmm good arguments thanks

I would also imagine ex servicemen would be more likely to think before sending troops, as they know what its like to be there.

Poll Shows Bush Would Lose to Democrat in Election

NEW YORK (Reuters) - President Bush would lose narrowly to a Democratic Party candidate if the U.S. presidential election were held now because of concerns about possible war and the economy, according to an opinion poll published on Thursday.

The Feb. 26-March 3 nationwide survey of U.S. voters by Hamden, Connecticut-based Quinnipiac University found that by a 48 percent to 44 percent margin, voters would pick the as yet unknown candidate out of nine Democrats running over the Republican incumbent. The survey of 1,232 voters had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percent.

"This month, we find that an unnamed Democrat would edge out President Bush," said Quinnipiac University Polling Institute director Maurice Carroll. "The political winds are hard to read this early, but we do know that war and a bad economy are not good for anyone, especially sitting presidents."

Bush is expected to run for reelection in Nov. 2004. Nine Democrats have announced their intention to seek their party's nomination.

Bush narrowly lost the popular vote to Democrat Al Gore in 2000 but became president by winning the decisive electoral college vote based on returns from the 50 states.

Carroll said the survey revealed that U.S. voters, even with no mention of weapons of mass destruction, support U.S. war against Iraq to force President Saddam Hussein from power by 57 percent to 35 percent.

By almost the same margin, 56 percent to 38 percent, voters said Washington should wait for United Nations support instead of going to war alone in the Gulf.

Bush's approval rating was at 53 percent to 39 percent, the poll found, but only 9 percent were "very satisfied" with the way things were going in the United States. Thirty-five percent said they were "somewhat satisfied," 28 percent "somewhat dissatisfied," and 26 percent "very dissatisfied."

The pollsters said that when asked what was the most important problem facing the United States, 31 percent said it was war with Iraq followed by 27 percent who believed it was the economy or unemployment and 14 percent terrorism or security.

Is this the margin of error of the poll, or the sastified/unsatisfied with Bush's performance ratio? If that's the margin of error, then this poll is worthless.
 
I don't know exactly what that means.

It isn't the same as the vs. Democrat poll though.

And I guarantee tonight's non-press conference just pushed it all lower.
 
Just saw his speech.

He would not answer any questions.
