[the anti-liberal]

The more I hear of him, the more I like him.

Now if you'll tell me that he'll:

strengthen the Executive in order to overcome the problems of an entire political party held enthralled by the transient opinions peddled by unelected and non-representative organizations such as moveon and code pink and the impact of that on congress;

work to overturn the Kelo Decision;

work to disband or reform the ACLU; strengthen the CIA after Clinton decimated it;

and arrest violators of the Logan Act, a la Pelosi (thus emphasizing US v Curtiss Wright Export - reasserting and strengthening the President as the sole organ of US in foreign policy)

he'd be absolutely perfect and I'd then know beyond a doubt that I'm dreaming and none of this is real.

Well, we don’t have that much detail yet, but he had an article about the weakening of Executive powers a few weeks ago, and he says he’ll pardon Scooter Libby first thing.

Does that help any?

Oh, I think there’s an article about intelligence around here somewhere.

Now, now.
Let us be a just little bit realistic.
Nobody gets EVERYTHING they want from a candidate.
In your short list of “wants”, there are some items that NO candidate could provide.

There are some things that only the courts can deal with.Others suited for the Executive. Some that are for the common culture to deal with.
If a candidate pretty much meets your general ideology and philosophy, and there is an absence of things you cannot live with, even though there are things that annoy, well,...be as happy as you can be.
Remember. There is no such thing as a perfect candidate. For any office. Anywhere. Ever!
