If you believe anything the candidates promise NOW
You might as well believe that the Moon is made of cheese.

Remember the compassionate conservative Bush? remember where he ran? Do any of you honestly think Obama or Hillary will keep any promises once they sit in the Oval office? After the pressure is put on them buy the special interests or foreign powers? by China? by India or Japan? by our other allies. Any one remember what Bill Clinton promised during his first campaign?

Dream on.

1. "Keeping promises" is not a measurement of a good president
Would we say that someone who makes a bunch of promises to do a lot of bad things and then keeps all of those promises is a good president? Bush made a lot of promises in 2000 that I wish he had broken. The nation would have been better off.

2. But we're not talking about Bush returning as President, we're talking about our future
Unless he voids the election and we fall into anarchy.
