Are there any Republicans that you like?

23. Gerald Ford

Just watched the CSpan Documentary about Betty Ford, who was very outspoken - was for the ERA and abortion rights. Gerald Ford was a decent, kind man; he stepped into the presidency in a very difficult time. He never had the ambition to become the Vice-President, much less the Presidency. He wanted to become the Speaker of the House if the Republicans ever came into the majority. (He wouldn't have made it.)

I've watched only 3 of the First Lady documentaries, but intend to watch the earlier ones online at the CSpan site. They are very interesting.

I can't think of a single Republican presently in office that I would say I "liked" much less support. Huntsman was the only sane one on that ticket. The rest were all nuts and embarrassing to our country. Huntsman's daughter is on the Cycle, and is watchable; not shrill like so many pundit Republican women. She's a moderate, and seemingly smart, and attractive. Fits well with the other three on that show.

Olympia Snowe is likable and reasonable.
