We have TWO “professors” on the Democrat ticket this year.
For obscure reasons, these professorial types tend to think they have enough expertise in the nuances of government, that they should be beyond any question of their authority.
The attitude was demonstrated most amply in the first “modern” Democrat President, Woodrow Wilson. He was an autocratic despot, insisting on imposing his will on the majority, badgering the country into a war which he had declared the United States would never be involved in, then the principles of popular elections of Senators (rather than the previous Constitutional method of being selected by the state legislatures), the Federal income tax, and finally the worst experiment of all, Prohibition.
Now THERE was a man that brought “change” to America. Compare that with FDR (whose popularity was as much for bringing beer back to the public, as it was for all the other “reforms” put together), the Kennedy-Johnson years, the Carter years, and the regime of the “Former Occupant of the Oval Office, 1993-2001”, who NEVER fulfilled the duties of the Presidential office. Not once. Most of them could not make a rational decision on the economy if they had to, unless there was overwhelming demand from the legislative branch and from the people for that change.
One exception, perhaps, was Harry S Truman, who was much more at the mercy of circumstances, and responded to them in a somewhat common sense manner, than most of his Democrat predecessors or successors. And he did it with the simple statement, “The buck stops here.”
The rest of them were past masters at prevarication, fabrication, deceit, and “misstatements”.
Expect a reprise of all the worst of the past hundred years if Obama-Biden DO become President and Vice President.
Count on it, John McCain is deliberately pulling his punches and NOT campaigning to be President of the United States.
America is SO screwed.
Yeah... No surprise...What did he say this Summer...that he facored gas rationing...?
This guy couldn’t negotiate an enema in a nursing home...
I’m embarrassed that he’s a republican...
But let’s face it...If Obama and Co. hoodwinks the public and gets elected..
Then I say, let’s restructure the democratic party...and get rid of the Warner’s and SPectors...and the rest who have played by the rules...while their opponents screwed them over...
We have alot of young good conservative repubs...Pawlenty, Kndal...Crist...Cotner...maybe even Palin...although I know she will fade into the sunset if she loses...as her love is her family and Alaska....
I’m done watching the day to day polls....I’m done reading the pundits....I’ve been long done listening to anyone sane on the democratic side... Alan Colmes is so deep into the talkng points of the democrats each night, that you can’t get a single solitary objective answer out of him...
He’s like a psychotic patient who repeats his social security number over and over again...as you put him into a straight jacket...
I had a bounce in my step when Palin was nominated...a bigger one...the night of her inaugeration speech.... and then again during the debates...
If any of you feel the same way I do...then let’s give this campaign 10% of our time and effort to help our side win..

Dear Sarah,
It’s obvious that your partner is not going to go after this guy...And let’s face it... this is your shining moment, as I doubt you’ll ever resurface if your team loses...
So, please. Please for all of us here at FR who have pulled our hairs out, agoninizing over McCain’s passivity.
GO AFTER THESE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ask him about his foreign donors...his ties to radicals...his plan to increase our taxes...his association with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac...
Have someone ask you if you use an ear piece during debates. And then answer that you don’t, but you know that it’s used and you see nothing against it...
Tell the media about Obama’s tax returns...where he’s heavily invested in Oil companies who do business in Iran...
Have someone ask you about Obama’s birth certificate...PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And say that you’re SURE that the FBI has vetted ALL the candidates....
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE....!!!
If you’re in this to win...then let’s win...
