This guy has lots of great rhetoric but has proposed nothing of substance. Isn't that the definition of a politician? Not of a successful one, and certainly not these days. West is running for Congress now. Let him start there. |

I suppose you could say "says things they don't mean" but they usually make the statement so ambiguous they have an out. Did you hear Jon Stewart the other night comparing Obama's war speech to Bush's? Basically "new boss, same as the old boss" Stewart is probably the closest thing we have to a fair and balanced news reporter these days and it is supposed to be a comedy show. I'm not happy with the escalation in Afg., but can't see a better alternative, and I trust Obama has looked at it from every angle and picked the least worst action. I'm also not happy with his seeming lack of commitment wrt to healthcare. I don't know what to make of that. I agree though... Steward is amazing. Thank God for him. -- Nom=de=Plume |

I think he's got jsut a good of a chance as anyone else. but he doesn't lie enough, probably. The better the liar, the better the politician. |
