*creaking door*
Well well well...looky what I have found here. I should have clicked this sooner, White and Kane know why. I don't need to go into why this tax rebate is idiotic, Matt has done that beautifully well. Let us talk about the candidates then...
Guiliani-Is, was and always will be a tool. Sure, on 9-11 he stood tall and ACTED the part of a leader. He did though put the command center in a certain place, and is probably in some ways responsible for some of the firemen who died that day. Of course the fact that he wants to run on the Morals and Family ticket, while being married three times with multiple affairs, on the tax payer dollar, makes him a hypocrite. He was running on 9-11 alone, thank god he's gone.
McCain-I used to have respect for McCain, then he began to cater to the right. He is a former troop, yet he voted against improving and funding the GI Bill. He has allowed the VA to treat former soldiers like pieces of garbage, and is too stubborn to hear any other ideas about Iraq. Of course all Republicans seem to be against allowing basic rights to folks based purely on their sexual preference, which of course is a problem. Look, if choosing to be gay is choice, then so is choosing to be straight.
Hillary-Sorry, she was not the driving force back in the 90s. Bill Clinton is easily one of the most intelligent men in the world. He is also one of the most charismatic, the Ric Flair of politics...if you will. She is the one without the experience, not Obama. She was married to a politician, Obama has more or less been one constantly. She is also a bit to sold to the insurance companies, proving that she can be bought. She's a decent senator I suppose, but she's not the one I think who should lead this nation.
Obama-If you don't think he's saying anything, actually listen to his speeches, all of one. The man exudes a charisma we haven't had since Bill Clinton and before that Kennedy. He definitely sounds like he honestly wants to LEAD this country in a better direction. He believes we can change, he doesn't need to sit on the stump and explain all his policies because he understands that he can have all the policies he wants but he has to work with Congress for those, not the rubber stamp congress we saw from 2001-2006. He is the only person really left in the race who can lead us from where we are right now, the rest will keep us in the status quo and if we want to pull ourselves out of this mean Dubya has put us in Obama is the only candidate left who is capable of such actions.
Jesus Camp is frightening, but we saw it in the theater here in DC...hilarity. We knew what it was going to be about, the elderly couple didn't seem to and walked out like they just saw their children having sex. The saddest thing is that group of people is growing, as they tend to do in America around the time of the change of the century, in less then ten years it should ease up a bit.
Eh too much else to get into, I'll wait until tomorrow
