In your opinion, are most candidates running for ego or because...? |
|
they have a vision for our country and they truly believe they are the best person for the job? That may be a silly question to ask about any politician, but with the problems facing our country at this time, can we really afford a president that is running solely for their personal egos? Should we not expect a leader with ideas to get us out of the war, to return us to fiscal sanity, to offer ideas on healthcare, Social Security, and how to raise the standard of living for average working Americans? How do we distinguish the true leaders from the egomaniacs?

1. IMO, Kucinich is the only one who doesn't really want to be President |
|
but I don't think he is doing it out of ego.

3. Ego...and POWER! Power Trumps Ego...but the two go "Hand in Hand." |

It's so disgusting ...how does one deal. And...I understand that "Purists" become "Martyrs" and DIE....while the Egotists LIVE ON AND MAKE THEIR POLICY the "LAW OF THE LAND."
:-( ...I didn't want to use the "puke" sign...but I could have.

She put up with Bill all these years, haha. Maybe she feels that she was a partner in Bill's presidency and will be able to handle the job.

6. That doesn't qualify her... |
|
What work on her own merits has she accomplished that makes her a superior candidate?
