I wasnt talking about the whole picture on what you want in a president. just on thing that a lot of people have been talking about. When edwards was chosen that was an argument that came up a lot.

VP are more than figureheads though, how can you say that thats all they do. And we dotn elecect admisistartion soley based on teh vicepresident, but as a package of both of them. Both have a large stake in the way the country is run. the election four years ago had a ton to do with the VP. People liked cheney, adn a lot of people hated LIberman.

Plus, the reaseon that intelligence sucks in teh country right now has to do with policies that Clinton enacted. We used to get a large portion of our intelligence from paying criminals, or other 'bad people'. And clinton did away with that. This is one of the leading reasons that 911 happened. You dont ask good people aobut where the bad guys are, its not how it works. Thus since that rule has been ammended, and we have a great deal more information now.

Dont make the mistake of thinking I was just trying to make an argument for bush, i didnt say anything about my partisan in that post. Just some facts about both sides. Thats the problem with arguing politics is that the american people are stupid and beleive what they are told. Im not syaing you are stupid by any means, but if you think the VP is just a figure head and president in training you need to do some research on the government.
