Brownback 3rd for good optimism and sincerity and unshakeable convictions. Thompson the worst for his gaffe on the war wounded and McCain 2nd to worst for his odd, almost forced delivery.

With Barrack running about the country reluctantly backing Hillary behind Rev. Al Sharpton, who will be the big winner in New york with a personal salutation from Harlem's first black Cheese (Bubba). So Sharpton gets a plane and an agenda to show blacks do not have to vote just for race(how so civil rights-sy). Meanwhile unbelieving Americans will be startled to find out that while all this drama is being so racially fought out beneath radar screens of a compliant media(what racial cynicism?), Romney and Rudy will come out of the Republican convention to face Clinton's secret selling former head of Energy and the former first lady. With nothing to run on by moderate posturing and a bone to Hispanics with an over-reliance on affirmative action and white guilt left-over from the obama default: Hillary/Richardson ticket is eaten alive by Romney/Rudy as Americans decide that four more years of White-Water, stolen nuclear secrets, Chinese financed elections, and pandering to gays and lesbians on all family matters (it does after all take a village and not a family) crashes and burns and not a moment too soon.<br><br>Ralph W.

An eye toward the concerns of the hard pressed MIDDLE CLASS!<br><br>The should also feel free to criticize the Bush political dynasty and its litany of failures.<br><br>They should also bring back good old fashioned PATRIONISM and love of country. They should wave the flag with the fervor of a July 4th parade and with the intensity of Kate Smith's rendition of GOD BLESS AMERICA!<br><br>Why should we have to hang our heads when we want to STAND UP and support the United States and its tradition of social conservative values? Is the down fall of everything that is AMERICAN so important to those who love Globalisation at any price, ie the NEO-CONS?<br><br>It is time a candidate STOOD UP for AMERICA!<br><br>Or is that being "trite" or inconsiderate of the growing list of "Pet" minorities with Socialist attitudes so proudly paraded by the LIBERALS!Lawrencenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709087743016851805.post-84414779734546190412007-05-07T08:45:05.000-05:002007-05-07T08:45:05.000-05:00Nobody impressed me in that debate.

Nobody seemed to really touch on issues related to economy (other than "we must cut taxes") or education. It does have something to do with the extremely annoying Chris "I suddenly have blonde hair" Matthews. But a good candidate could overcome his ignorance. I guess now I am waiting for Fred Thompson or even Newt Gingrich (I never thought I would say that).

The Secret Service denied knowing about any threats to Obama.<br><br>Was this just theatrical? The newspapers and commentators seem to obliquely refer to the fact that a black man running for president is an automatic target for assassination.<br><br>But who would kill him. Are we left to assume that some crazy white person would kill Obama for being black and running for president?<br><br>I think it goes against the Audacity of Hope to think that we as a country have gone beyond our inability to accept a black candidate. As conservative as I am, I can accept a black President.<br><br>Yet, Durbin, Obama and the media leave us with the foregone conclusion that some white American will try to kill Obama.<br><br>Whenever we see candidate Obama with the Secret Service, we will be reminded of the victim-status he was awarded with, and also, he'll look darned presidental to boot!<br><br>As for me, I trust Americans more than he does. I trust America isn't racist enough to kill him. Do you dare to hope as much as I do? Barack has already given up that hope for his country.Freidrich Marchnoreply@blogger.com
