What kind of a person do we need for President?
Edited on Sun Mar-23-08 10:52 PM by mac2
For President of the world's most successful Democracy we don't want...

-A Hitler who brings genocide and world war for an elite rule.

-A Caesar who wants "unending war" to rape and rule the world leaving many societies far away destroyed and destitute for many hundreds of years.

-A Napoleon who wants to unite all of Europe against their will.

-A Nero so self involved and selfish he ignores a crisis that destroys his great city while he fiddles.

-A Attila the Hun who murders everyone is sight to create fear thus forcing them to accept his rule.

-A Medici who feels he can have absolute power and wealth saying God appointed him.

-A king like Nicholas Romanov Tsar of Russia who lives lavishly and in arrogance while his citizens starve.

-A Stalin who murdered millions of his own people for power and a political philosophy.

Here's the historical first for the world…

-A Bush who pollutes and destroys forever the earth’s environment and resources for profit and power.

When you think about it, President Bush has done a little of all the above to America and the world. He should be impeached and tried in the Hague.

We must learn from history not repeat or even add a new horror to the world.

4. Good post, but I would argue with us being "the most successful democracy"
We have lost that role in the world, I'm afraid.

You might also what to rephrase to "What kind of person do we need for President?" :hi:

8. Now it asks "what kind of perons." Perons.
Is that some kind of Freudian slip?

12. Deception rules out that person for me
Deception is the modern day intellectual way of stealing what
is yours - trust.  Once it's gone, it can't be replaced with
slick glorious speeches or fast talk sound bites at any cost!

13. For a successful Democracy
You need a president who is true to the principles of democracy.
It is going to be difficult to recover from these past 8 years.
