To me all domestic politics, in every country, is mainly just childish bickering over petty differences. They are all in it for the same thing, for the same end. I don't find partisanship to be all that interesting or important. I find myself liberal on some issues, conservative on others, libertarian on some, and radically green on the fundamental long term concerns. And it could all change overnight.

I like Hagel for one reason. His opposition to the War in Iraq is currently the most articulate and realistic that i have heard from anybody in Washington to date.

I don't think Condi has any interest in being the president of the USA.

Here's a thought. What if this changes Cheneys mind?

Abortion, gun control, tax rates, economic policy, capital punishment, civil rights, global warming, these are petty issues?

Yes. Only because nothing ever really changes unless it has to. Take global warming for an example, eventually (like now) it will be obvious to everybody that something needs to be done, and than it ceases to become a partisan issue, people just respond.

Same with civil rights.

Taxes, i could care less, it comes and goes.

Abortion, same sex, gun control, these are just wedge issues used to rally the masses at election time.

I would say it is the other way around. You have to have a lot of experience if you are to be well qualified to be President of the United States. If you have that much experience, you cannot help but being in the old guard.

Barack Obama might become a good Democratic Presidential Candidate in 2016 or 2020, I do not think he is experienced enough to stand a chance in 2008.

goober, have you ever considered that there may be a difference between being a war hero and being a political hero?

George McGovern was so leftish, he made Nixon win in 1972 by a landslide. If there'd been another Dem. candidate in 1972, that candidate might have won and the Watergate affair would not have been such a big thing.

Never happen. Not with that heart of his (yes, he has one). Public would never elect him.


Honestly, I can't say that I've ever met anyone who had something to say about Dick Cheney.

Interwiew with Cheney of Fox News Sunday

I don't think Cheney is going to change his mind.

Looks more like he is going from Darth Vader to Grandad. He's got too much fishin' to do with the grandkids. No time to be President.

Well, she better start digging up dirt on everyone else. Obama's smoking, Edwards ruining the environment with hairspray, Richardson and his DOE failure and womanizing ways.

I wonder who dies first?
