what do you think about that BUSH deal on the Mexican trucking issue?   (not related to McCain of course)

Haven't been following it.  Just read a couple articles.  Sounds okay to me.  What's the fuss?

I like that he takes it personally.

It IS personal... It should be personal to you and to me and to everyone else who pays taxes.

What part of politics doesn't affect you "personally"?

The fact that taking things personally means overriding objective thoughts since emotion overrides the process.

Same with his personal philosophies on socialism.

No it's not personal, it is ran like a business. You have a business you get personal, your a bad business man. Someone complains, takes a deal from under you....you evaluate situatons with a birds eye view.

This isn't just business... Things that will happen will affect every person living in this country.

I disagree with your analogy completely.

If your business goes under, then you're out some money, maybe bankrupt, so what... It's just money.

You fuck up a presidency and people die.

Being able to hold peoples lives in your hands is absolutely "personal".
