Do Republicans really think this way?
Within this article Powerline discusses the tendency of Republicans to nominate the heir apparent, or 'next in line' as our presidential nominee. Is this really how people think? We're only talking about the most important job in this country, and the person who will be, for all intents and purposes, the most powerful person on earth. Leading America should not be a case of 'next-in-line', it should be a case of who can do the job best. Personally, I am more interested in electing the person who has the best credentials and lines up the closest with my beliefs, not the guy who thinks he deserves it simply because he comes next.

The Nightmare Scenario
So, I get a chain email that goes something like this:
Please forward this e-mail to all of your
Republican friends..... and to as many others as you wish to cause
sleepless nights...
So is it feasible? Who knows in today's political climate. I had actually had this thought before, but I don't think that the voters would stand for it. Plus, the Democrat Party has to get some new blood front and center. The Clintons aren't going to last forever.
Last night I
had a terrifying nightmare. It was so real, so life-like and so
vivid I woke up in a cold sweat. Let me describe it to you
briefly...
1. Hillary wins the Democratic Party nomination
for President of the United States
2. Naturally, she wants to choose as her
running mate someone with a lot of knowledge and experience in
government and foreign affairs, someone who is a seasoned campaigner who
could bring a lot of strength to the ticket. Who better than Bill, her
husband?!!!
3. Hill and Bill go on to win the election in
November and the Democrats maintain control of the House and the
Senate.
4. Hillary is sworn in as President on
January 20, 2009. The next day, after all the inauguration parties are
over, she calls a press conference to make an announcement: she is
resigning as President!!! Bill, as the Vice President, immediately
becomes President!!! This is all perfectly legal under the 22nd
Amendment to the Constitution, for it states that "no person may
be elected as president more than twice". Bill is not being
elected for a third term but is merely serving out the remainder of
Hillary's term---all 4 years of it.
5. But wait! There's more! The following
day Bill calls a press conference to make an announcement. He has chosen
someone to fill the now-vacant office of Vice President. Guess who he
picks? Why, Hillary, of course!!! So she can run for two more
terms.

Why the NAU?
With all of this talk about President Bush and the North American Union (NAU), I think it would be useful to take a look at it from the standpoint of motivations. Namely, why would a theoretically conservative President want a North American Union?

The Amero, revisited
I guess I was wrong about the Amero.
