One thing I DON"T want in the next presidential election is another bumpkin with limited experience

1. There are a lot of DUers who are so savvy on govt and foreign affairs

who I would trust with some really excellent decision making powers. Sure they would be called "bumpkins" but I'll take good old common sense at this point, over the machinations we are watching today.

My problem is with those who are pawns/playas of the corporatocracy, like Bu$h, Raygun etc. Those are the ones we need to keep away from governing our country.

2. problem is

in determining where the money intersects with policy decisions.

Almost all of the candidates we get have corporate money ties. The ones I will never trust are the executives who slide back and forth between their corporate thrones and our government offices by election or appointment.
