Very well put. Everyone wants a 'man of the people' in charge, right? Then they hate anyone with any hint of normality.

As long as its not Bill Clinton or a Democrat thats how people feel. People are very selective about who they criticize. Its OK for one person to do something-its their private life--but, when a candidate we do not like does the same thing is suddenly wrong. Like the adultery thing. (Its OK for Rudy&Newt to do it, but Bill better not) And when Bill Clinton said he smoked pot ONE time and "did not inhale" people who hated him as a candidate had a field day.
BTW, when is Jeb Bush going to announce he is running for Prez?

Fox News reported today regarding the sound bite saturated virtual jihad that has erupted between Hillary and Obama, with recording mogul David Geffen smack in the middle of this farcical fracas, just today. Looks like hunting season opens early this year, and I don't think that Mr. Geffen will be spending the night in the Lincoln Bedroom again anytime soon

I've heard he's not planning on running for 2008, instead waiting until 2012. The Republican Party is probably wary of backing another Bush for the time being.browneyedgirl wrote:

Hillary's contradictory dialects puzzle many
foxnews.com/story/0,2933,256747,00.html
Hmmm, who in the hell does a Yankee like Hillary think she is fooling with her fake Southern accent?
She's about as Southern as Al Gore, who most of the time, has no discernible accent, either. He, like Hillary, was not raised in the South (Gore was raised in Washington), so it goes without saying that they apparently are dialectic chameleons, and will emulate anyone or anything if they find it politically convenient.
Face it, Hill, you won't carry the South.

Re: US president 2008: Candidates, discussion, and the rest...
There are rumors Fred Thompson might run for President on the Republican ticket.
Since he hails from a small town about 20 miles to the North, most people I know are somewhat excited about this. Even the Democrats.
Fred appeared regularly in several TV shows(Roseanne, and Law&Order, for example)and acted in many movies before his political carer&even, after.
Its great to see a local person doing good.
@miditek, have you heard this? It was on BBC&MSNBC so I assume its credible?
Or, maybe Fred is just considering the move?

It's interesting to note Thompson is not just an actor, but is also a former assistant US Attorney, and also served as minority legal counsel for the Senate Watergate Committee. He has a good political record, and he is widely rumored to be the Republican candidate that Dhimmicratic operatives fear the most.
If he runs, I believe he'll give Hitlary & Co. a lot to worry about.

Yes, it actually is confusing to choose. And, then, there are candidates which you know are there just to deflect support from the major parties LOL, so a person can tend just to say, "To Hell with it!" LOL!
Politics is, IMO, a necessary evil---a thing to tolerate&just live with. Shoot, it's just something I actually attempt not to think about much these days!

A hilarious spoof of Apple's classic 1984 Superbowl commercial, which is the one introduced the world to the Macintosh.
They do a good job of brand switching with Hillary standing in for fascist IBM and Obama replacing the irrepressibly hip Mac OS.

Absolutely unbelievable! The uberliberal Los Angeles Times recently ran this story about Obama.

So, what are your choices? It seems we have Hillary 'something wicked this way comes' Clinton for the Dem. ticket. Rep... anyone?

I'll bet her handlers are struggling with this (dealing with her after the news of the episode reached her), and are probably looking for a freaking exorcist by now.
