Hell, with the support of enough former oil company executives, I guess anything is possible in our fair land. And no, I'm no commie student long hair. I own a business, pay more than my fair share of taxes and wouldn't be displeased with an end to so called "fiscal stimulus" and even a return to hard currency. But needless military interventionism is a waste of human lives along with my tax dollars, and is a sure fire way to lose my vote.
