Does the Shoe "Fit" ?

And my apologies to MMI. You would be surprised how many people say basically the same thing when presented with solid facts.

You could probably count me among those people too! I'm a lefty, but the same is true of the right.

I read the first post as a call-to-arms for the Republicans, and anything that would appeal to their prejudices was trotted out. Naturally, I found it distasteful, but nothing erquires refuting: that would dignify it far more than it deserves.

To me, Obama seems much more appealing than Palin. That's my point of view, since you ask, but I'd prefer a proper liberal, or even a social democrat.

Appealing is not a good manner of choosing a leader. I have no problem saying that Mr Obama is an appealing person, a very good speaker. The weakest speech I have heard from him was the latest in Ohio. He sounded like a fundamental preacher at the pulpit, even that does not make a reason to diss the man.

However, his history in politics is not one to engender confidence. His basic plan of action for leading is to take in as much money as possible, to fix what he perceives as a problem, and then for the Government to decide which arena, or business, is going to be permitted to succeed. Just about the only thing the Government is capable of executing properly is the military. And that is mostly because they keep their hands of of the minutia of running it. Unlike everything else they get into!
