What do we look for in our leaders?

There has been much written about whether we need intelligence OR a leader!! Duh!!
Lemmings have leaders and where does it get them? Over a cliff and into the sea. Great!
It would be well to listen to our own voices and see how it sounds. Unless there is some intelligence behind our remarks it is just blather.

Stereotypical thinking, using charged words,such as "socialism", "leading us down the wrong track", "creating huge debt", "wrecking the economy" may be easy posturing but it is all wrong. None of the above applies to the current administration. Employing a little historical perspective will show that it took the last administration it's entire eight years to get us trillions of dollars in debt and precipitate the present economic ship wreck.

The past three years, every effort to correct the former abuses has been effectively blocked, not in an effort to improve the economy or rectify errors, but to insure the failure of the present administration. The country has foundered in the meantime. This isn't a made up charge, it is on the record. Mitch McConnell stated it in so many words. That is unvarnished fact.

Who's the big loser? We all are The conservative noise machine has been going full blast to create fear and confusion. It hopes to cover up the cause of our woes with false charges and misdirection. If we are misled by these tactics it is our own fault. It should be simple to find the facts of the matter. It is history.

The current candidates for the Republican nomination are very unconvincing. The only honest one is Ron Paul, and he is unelectable, mostly because of his age.

Our political system should not be a confrontational game of oneupsmanship. We need intelligent, effective, representation for problem solving, not problem creation
