Hey, if you had elected Ross Perot Katrina wouldn't have bothered New Orleans. Remember his vast sucking sound? That would have pulled Katrina to Brownsville or even down to Mexico. Disaster averted.

Seriously you are making a good and valid point here. Presidents are only leaders of their parties. Their prime job is to articulate policy positions--use their bully pulpit if you will. Ergo, the party is important and not the politician.

When I earlier stated that I am a "yella dawg Democrat" is an indication that the people inspired policies of the Democratic party motivate my support. Perhaps, this is why I find it so laughable when you so foolishly say something like, "what would Hillary do in Iraq" or Viet Nam or wherever. Who cares? I do think the policies of the Democratic party would be superior to the corporate driven policies of the Republicans. But hey, you might want to go with "what would Jesus do" in Iraq. That has the same (equivalence) relevance as what would Gore do......or whatever else you were saying.
