Well we can certainly agree about the BS part, but the very premise of a poll to find the real solution sets up a bad situation from the get go. I don't think it's a good idea to have both( see, read that , that's bs). You're asking people to give their opinion and then are willing to tell them their idea is bs. Like your idea that a Libertarian President would be a good thing now. I can't believe that you're in the Corps and I know you've studied warfare and know about the Middle East and remember the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beruit in '82, et al. You have to know they're not going to stop 'til the Western World is wiped off the face of the Earth. You have to know since they can't get in at us now is BECAUSE of the INS, the Border Patrol, FBI,CIA, Homeland Security and the Patriot Act, et al, they're surrounding us around the world and are waiting for us to drop our defenses. You say that your Pres'll ban and rescind all these protections we have and restore personal freedoms and we''ll all gather 'round and sing 'kumbaya'. That's not realistic (read that, bs). No, the real result of my 'what if''d be,IMO, within a year we'd see multiple '9/11's here in the U.S., only 100 times worse. I'm just glad we'll never know.
Editted to say: CrudeGT, thanks for your kind and 'upstanding' words, brother.
