For the record, I'm a Libertarian. Not Democrat, Republican, Conservative, or Liberal. I fight for my God given rights and liberties, and I let no one speak for me or think for me. I will believe in government when we have an effective and efficient government, any less is an insult to the people of the United States of America.

it's a vote of no-confidence. but if 80% of parliament says you should go, then you have to go.

Exactly what are you saying? I could clarify the description if I lost almost everyone, which I probably did. I think too fast and lose my train of thought sometimes. I'm just waiting to lose my right to live to a corrupt and/or seemingly retarded politician with a personal vendetta against the world.

It would be very useful if all political officers could be certified sane and mentally competent but unfortunately the standards for this certification are not even secure in psychological circles. There are recorded cases of sane people committing themselves in asylums to test the validity of psychological certification of sanity and then discovering it was almost impossible to get themselves released. The nebulous standards of psychology are very easily perverted by wealthy political contributors or politicians with personal agendas. To hand over political qualification to controversial psychological standards is an extremely dangerous concept.

In this day and age with the nitpicking of your personal integrity that occurs as soon as you announce your intent to run I would say that all politicians are crazy. ;-)

Most people like to hide in their little holes like rabbits, and stay away from politics. Therefore, anybody who takes an active interest is considered strange. Mark Twain said anybody who stands on a corner with a sign will be pointed out as a screwball, regardless of what the sign says. Being different from the norm is part of the definition of insanity, but not the most important part.

Having said that, I suspect that you are referring to our current president, who is obviously deficient in mental faculties, although that would not be considered mental illness. He just fits in a certain place on the bell-shaped curve.

It seems to me that people are too eager to excuse Bush's behavior as some form of stupidity or insanity. He is totally successful in trashing all of the systems that make the country successful and worthwhile. He obviously knows what he is doing. It is the rest of the country that is around the bend for letting him do it.

Bush is just the most obvious but not the main. John Kerry, Diane Feinstein, even Hillary Clinton. Maybe mental illness was the obvious but incorrect term. It is sad though that in politics voting is for two evils, we just attempt to choose the lesser. I just don't want to see this country turn into the U.K. where no one protect themselves against anything. With Hillary, that's the direction we headed. My political opinions maybe questionable and definably funny, but sadly true. They go by party and politician and eerily enough make sense.
