The perfect candidate is a thing of dreams

Many who voted in the 2006 elections across the country feel we are being taken for a ride by some of our leaders on both sides of the political spectrum.

We wonder how many others are screening their calls to avoid political fundraisers. We just don't feel we are getting what we voted for on the national stage, and the presidential hopefuls are not saying what we want to hear.

Just think if a well-spoken, brave, knowledgeable lawyer with impeccable credentials appeared on the political stage after the loss of a child in Iraq, with his hat among the presidential candidates on a platform to encourage impeachment proceedings against the Bush administration; online fundraising would skyrocket. If he promised to have the Bush administration go before a world court, the media would start asking the impeachment question, and the Maliki government would no longer be able to milk America's resources.
