Now tell me how many Republicans you like.
For that matter, ask me. I currently can name only about 4. |

A compassionate, multicultural one?

I'll just stick to sitting Senators, and I'll divide them into three categories, setting aside their views and addressing what I think of them personally:
Favorably Disposed
Collins
Graham -
Lugar
McCain
Snowe
Thune -
Warner
Neutral
Alexander
Allard
Bennett
Bond
Brownback
Burr
Cochran
Corker
DeMint
Dole
Ensign
Enzi
Gregg
Hagel
Hatch
Kyl
Lott
McConnell
Murkowski
Smith
Specter
Sununu
Thomas
Vitter
Voinovich
Unfavorably Disposed
Bunning
Chambliss
Coburn
Coleman +
Cornyn
Craig -
Crapo -
Domenici
Grassley -
Hutchison
Inhofe +
Isakson -
Martinez -
Roberts +
Sessions +
Shelby +
Stevens +
This is a tough thing to do. Liddy Dole, for example, strikes me as ineffective and an empty suit, but I don't dislike her particularly for it, so she's in the middle.

Yes. We should have leaders who won't speak their mind and lockstep behind something they don't think is right.
I have no dog in this race, but as long as Jimmy Carter has a voice, there's no good goddamned reason on this planet that he shouldn't use it however he likes.
Suggesting it's patriotic or noble to shut your mouth when you think someone is doing something wrong is possibly the stupidest proposition anyone's ever farted onto this board. I don't blame you alone; others have done it.

Mike Bloomberg, because he's going to get one elected.

Like Less, I think what Carter said wasn't a gaffe or a blunder. But I am far more interested in talking about the policy questions involved than I am in talking about whatever anti-Semitism lies in Carter's heart, let alone whether other Presidents were anti-Semitic. Which is why my response to your post about Carter was to post something from someone else referring the "punishment" of the Palestinians.

His heart is filled with lust.* No room for anti-semitism.

What does matter, is that Carter blatantly lies about history and continuously defends murderous rabble while simulataneously placing blame for all of the world's ills on the US and Israel.

Nothing here.

I'm torn on this, since I think he'll pull from the GOP vote as well. |

The GOP is going to have a vote to pull from?
I find myself sort of thinking that a president independent of party affiliation would be pretty damned cool. Bloomberg doesn't seem nearly as wacky as independents of the past.
