and you've been on DU long enough I wanted to understand your perspective because we often agree in threads on some posts here.

I can understand your viewpoint...and about Power and Sex...

I would wish we could find leaders where that isn't the driving force who also can have enough of a presence that Voters would find Issues more important than "Physical/Sexual Prowess" as to how they get into office and how they run the country when they get there.

So...just saying where I'm coming from...but, thanks for expressing your view...which ..yep..I have seen and can understand.
