Which One?
By Twilight 01/02/2008 at 3:43 pmThe Dude – If your comment was directed to me – no I’m a socialist! I’m also a realist.

Which One?
By The Dude 01/02/2008 at 11:51 amYeah, you’re a liberal alright (sarcasm).
Fox’s pet liberal… so eager to please conservatives.

Which One?
By Twilight 01/02/2008 at 9:44 amI agree with Epiphany (above). I came away from watching the TV debate feeling much the same. I haven’t been a fan of Hillary Clinton so far, but I’m warming to her and feeling a lot of admiration now.
I’m not yet a US citizen but am hoping to be by November (if USCIS would get their act together).
If either of these two candidates is president of the USA by the time I’m swearing my oath of allegiance, I’ll feel confident and proud (I’ve just written as much in my own blog). -
Which One?
By pupil 01/02/2008 at 6:00 amNo, the Council on Foreign Relations is a “think-tank” of people designed to dissolve national boundaries and move toward a global governance. So bye, bye to our American Constitution since all of the candidates running for Presidency of the United States are all CFR members, with, of course, the one exception of Ron Paul.
If there was no vote fraud involved in keeping Ron Paul down in the polls, then the American people have called for more war and no changes or solutions to the current crisis of our time.
Good Luck America. You are going to need it.

Which One?
By Epiphany 01/02/2008 at 5:22 amI just finished watching the debate. Better late than never.
She’s good. She’s damn good.
I have somewhat mixed feelings about Hillary but I have to admit that she was excellent tonight. She really is a great speaker. I know they say that about Barack but clearly, at least to me, Hillary Clinton is better. Barack is good too. Very good. I liked what he had to say. But there is a clear difference in the way that they deliver their message. Barack Obama speaks in a thoughtful and somewhat halting manner, while Hillary Clinton speaks with a much more POW POW POW forceful delivery. That doesn’t mean that she would necessarily make a better president but presentation and performance is so very important with the general public. And I’m thinking ahead to the one on one debates with the Reublican nominee. That is when even some of the American Idol watchers will start to tune in.
I was trying to picture her debating Mitt Romney while she was speaking. I think she would beat him hands down. She would nail him on every flip-flop he’s ever made. And how much Romney’s Massachusetts health care plan was so similar to hers now. Up against him, SHE would look like the candidate with real humanity and warmth.
Against McCain that would be more difficult. John McCain is the real deal and speaks with much conviction and heart felt emotion especially when he’s talking about the war. You can tell he means almost every word as he speaks. She would have to be much more careful but I think she would win the debate against McCain as well. I think he would wind up sounding like a throwback to the past while she would speak in more realistic ways about the future.
She IS able to speak with substance and some detail rather than just generalities but without getting too wordy and dense. She has such extreme confidence and doesn’t lose her composure yet she seemed very human and real to me. I was actually moved by some of her comments. And I like her laugh. I don’t see it as a cackle. I see it as a very rich and hearty laugh. I do it myself sometimes. I say this as someone who is not enthralled with her. As I said I have mixed feelings and I still have not made up my mind as to who to vote for in the primaries. But I was definately, as you might have guessed, very impressed.
Oh my God what a dream ticket indeed they would make. I didn’t think this a few months ago.

Rudy Giuliani is to “September 11th”
As Hilary Clinton is to “Let me start by saying….”

Neither. Vote for me!
Actually, Obama is. I don’t think he would have gotten down in the dirt if Hill hadn’t dragged him there. Just my opinion. Plus, I don’t give a shit. I’m voting Republican, sweet cheeks.
Smooch!

This debate is boring
Everyone hyped it up to be like a boxing match
Like it was going to be some kind of “battle”
snoozefest

“The chief problem of American political life for a long time has been how to make the two Congressional parties more national and international. The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead the two parties should be almost identical, so the that American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.” Quigley, 1247-1248

Dr. Ron Paul is the only Presidential candidate left in the running whom is not affiliated or an active member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

This Council on Foreign Relations, they’re a front for extraterrestrials, right?
