I've heard it ... I've just never agreed with that line of thinking. I'm not willing to be governed by HAL - which means that the President is going to be a mere mortal.
Somebody is going to lead; the mere fact that they aren't going to meet some sort of ideal or standard doesn't change the fact that a Kerry nominated supreme court justice or a Bush decision on the environment are very likely to be quite different from the one their opponent would make. The decisions the next President makes will have consequences for years to come - not just in our lifetime, but in the lives of your son and my grandson. I absolutely refuse to abidcate a right that people died to protect or defend. I know who is running the show makes a difference.
Just my humble opinion ... in America, you have the right to agree with me or be wrong.
