1. He's started attacking Obama and Clinton while they're both still busy hacking at each other.
2. He's not Bush.
3. He 's a friggin POW man!! Plus he's been tortured so he can probably handle the heat of being Prez better than Clinton (who might cry) or Obama (who'd probably give very inspiring speeches but thats about it)
4. He has a FAR better record on climate issues than either one of those 2 jackasses-Senator McCain along with Sn. Lieberman has sponsored cap-and-trade bills in 2003,2005, and 2007. Obama and Clinton? Well......there's talk about them co-sponsoring the Lieberman-Warner Bill...but they may abandon it if it moves to the Right..as usual to avoid consorting with the Enemy
5. The man's a realist-he accepted that the Iraq war is an absolute mess-but he knows as much
as anyone else that the US has no moral right to abandon it-and he's accepted it and has been totally realistic about military presence in Iraq-maybe another decade or so....Clinton, on the other hand wants to start pulling troops out within 6 months--probably the worst mistake ever in the long sad history of bad mistakes, one that could rival the actual invasion of Iraq itself.
6. He has an excellent war record-POW for 5 years, been horrifically tortured to the point of disability-and yet refusing the offer of repatriation unless all of his comrades were taken as well-which kinda demonstrates the iron will needed of President.
7. Though he's a Republican and therefore technically an Enemy; he has a reputation for being independent, often challenging party leadership and estanlishment forces, even defying efforts to categorize him politically.
8. He has a son serving in Iraq, and yet chose not to brag about it or use it in his campaigning. His position on Iraq is therefore far more informed than either Obama and Clinton; since he has direct reports from his son on the battlefield.
9. He helped the US govt. to normalize diplomatic relations with Vietnam in 1995.
10.He would have been the US president instead of Bush had he not been defeated in the most dirtiest and battle for a primary (South Carolina) by Bush. (He had among others been accused of fathering a black child out of wedlock-his daughter Bridget had been adopted from a Bangladeshi orphanage; that his wife was a drug addict; and that he was a Manchurian Candidate traitor or mentally unstable from his POW days-he incidentally was tortured so much he can no longer lift his arm above his head.)
Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear.

Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence."
Richard Dawkins
"Leon Lederman, the physicist and Nobel laureate, once half-jokingly remarked that the real goal of physics was to come up with an equation that could explain the universe but still be small enough to fit on a T-shirt. In that spirit, Dawkins offered up his own T-shirt slogan for the ongoing evolution revolution:
Life results from the non-random survival of randomly varying replicators."

The 3 Laws of Prediction by Arthur C. Clark
- When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
- The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
- Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
