I don't assume they were less qualified, I just assume we are pulling from a smaller pool. If you are looking for the best minds and you exclude half the total pool on something other than intellect or ability, chances are you're not going to get all the best.

As I said, this is a non-issue, the only reason it appeared here was in another tired attempt to show how supposedly bad the Bush admin is.

Please, I beg you, STOP MAKING THIS ABOUT DEMOCRAT VERSUS REPUBLICAN. I don't care if the Democrats would do this, I don't care that this makes Bush bad, I want it to stop. I don't believe there's no other option, and that you DO believe it is holding you back. You are only seeing things in black and white, or, in this case, Democrat or Republican. It's okay to have your own political views that don't necessarily line up with either of the two major parties, or with any party.
