I am sitting here on the boat, sipping coffee and laughing at the news.

Regardless of your political persuasion, you have to admit that the
Democratic candidate selection process is boring and bland compared to the
antics on the Republican side.

Rudy's ad (response to Huckabee's) has got to be a classic. I don't know if
he's serious or if it's a parody.

LOL

I'm hoping the Repugs nominate Ayatollah Huckabee and he suffers the
worst loss in modern American history. If that happens, in future
elections the Repugs can tell the "evangelicals" to go f**k themselves,
and that would be good for the party and good for America.

Busy week; holiday parties three days in a row so far...whew!

Exactly why all the Main Stream Media is supporting Huck, and they say
they are not bias... They are directly working with the DNC..Of course
we could have one of the no moral core crew pandering on the dem side..

Did you see Hillary on the Today Show a couple of days ago? She was
unresponsive to their question about Bill's statement that "electing
Obama would be rolling the dice". When pressured to answer what that
meant, she came unglued! It's no wonder they protect her from the
hard questions... she can't handle them. Not the person I want as my
President.

Obama was next, and he simply blew Hillary out of the water. He's
like Bill way back when. He's got his act down... smoooth, baby.


It has been a standard practice for Hillary for the last 10 years. She
will not, does not answer any questions that are not preselected. She
is why the whole "boycott Fox news" thing got started, it was to
protect Hillary. BTW, yesterday, Hillary got caught with another plant
in the audience asking her if she was a Christian.. Turns out the lady
is another Clinton operative. It's just crazy, she can't face a
reporter, how is she going to face the pres of Iran??

The problem with the whole process, from beginning to end, is that the
folks willing to sell out enough and do all the dirty crap required to
win either the primary or the general election are *not* the sort of
people who should be leading anything, except maybe the inmate's glee
club at the appropriate penal institution.

Our representative republic isn't all that much different from the
parliamentary system the New England colonists rebelled against. Major
difference is that our aristocrats have to steal more and much faster
because they are subject to recall by the people. Other than that,
once in office politicians all behave about the same.

Sorry, but neither party has a shred of moral credibility anymore; and
the more that each side insists its the One True Political Faith and
the other side is a bunch clueless and devious idiots the farther from
moral credibility each side moves.

will no doubt extract a price for the support.

It's astounding that only one senator was really willing to put his
nuts on the line when telecom immunity was about to pass.

It's the system. It takes so much money to run a campaign that they
have no choice but to align themselves with powerful interests -- who
will no doubt extract a price for the support.

Broken system that needs to be replaced.


Let us return to the days when Senators were approved by the several
states legislatures. This would remove the Senator(s) for life, and
return the Senate back to its original state.

Vote Ron Paul.

At least the air will smell different.


He is an isolationist.

Regardless of your political persuasion, you have to admit that the
Democratic candidate selection process is boring and bland compared
to the
antics on the Republican side.

Rudy's ad (response to Huckabee's) has got to be a classic. ?I don't
know if
he's serious or if it's a parody.

LOL

The problem with the whole process, from beginning to end, is that the
folks willing to sell out enough and do all the dirty crap required to
win either the primary or the general election are *not* the sort of
people who should be leading anything, except maybe the inmate's glee
club at the appropriate penal institution.

Our representative republic isn't all that much different from the
parliamentary system the New England colonists rebelled against. Major
difference is that our aristocrats have to steal more and much faster
because they are subject to recall by the people. Other than that,
once in office politicians all behave about the same.

Sorry, but neither party has a shred of moral credibility anymore; and
the more that each side insists its the One True Political Faith and
the other side is a bunch clueless and devious idiots the farther from
moral credibility each side moves.


The Chuck of yore re-emerges! Well said.

And after that, we can reserve the vote to white men with property only.

I was teasing my daughter about that the other day when she was showing
me her 19th amendment project.
