Who knows--we may end up back in Canada in the next 5 years (I hope so, anyway...) However, IF I were voting, and IF I were a Republican (I'm neither of those things) I'd be dismayed at the array of yahoos and idiots the GOP has put forward for candidacy in this election cycle. Giuliani is the latest guy to go down in flames, but if you look down the rest of the list, it's a who's who of the underwhelming.

It ain't much better on the Democratic side either. The Candidates that I think would actually be good for America are the ones that I see as the media ignoring. I'd love to see a race between Ron Paul and John Edwards. I think "America" wins with either of them, and I think the balance in foreign ploicy would take a huge step back towards the place it should be; benevolence. I think the world needs a big picture thinker in the White house, and a guy that is willing to allow others to not only participate in matters, but lead. America needs to focus on what had made America great, and concentrate in reclaiming that position. Only a benevolent leader who is willing to make common sense decisions based on the needs of everyone will return America to that seat.
So Iowa, how come yopu haven't taken the next logical step? If you've been a permanent resident alien since '98, you can apply for your citizenship and be part of the solution. Why not jump into the queue?
