Krauthammer is a very weird duck. I have never understood why he is not required to register as a foreign agent. He has been a consistent supporter of liquidation/ethnic cleansing of both Muslim and Christian Palestinians on the West Bank, as well as a predictable defender of some of the spies caught over the last 2 decades. I have also wondered why he has never been prosecuted under the hate speech laws of the various states. But then there are lots of things I do not understand. Dave |

Charles Krauthammer and I rarely agree on anything political but I think he nailed it today. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...100203043.html http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/...-missouri.html This story from St. Louis is what I see happening on a personal level in Wausau. My kid is an Obama intern. He is working his azz off and the experience is changing him for the better. I find myself struggling with this concept of having a leader who I really, really respect. I came to respect Carter after he left office but in my entire adult life, with the exception of Robert Kennedy's short lived run in '68 (and I was only 15 then), I've always seen the person running who I ended up voting for as being a compromise. Not this time. Geez, I'm too old for this. I was a real "Don't follow leaders... watch your parking meters" kind of guy. Am I today. No. Do I walk in lock step with Hopey. No. Do I trust his judgment to try to find reasoned solutions to problems. "You betchya", to quote a certain Alaskan. OK. I make you the same offer I've made to several here - tell me why _you_ think Obama would make a good POTUS. In fact, I'll up the stakes: you can have my vote _if_ _you_ can convince me Obama will make a good POTUS. And I think there are enough Obama supporters who know me personally and that you would trust who will vouch for the fact that if I say I'll do something, I'll do it. A constitutional scholar as President of the United States. Amazing. Just amazing. Wow, that would be. Whom are you suggesting it might eventually be? g.c. And there you are, R |

Right now I'm leaning towards voting for a 3rd party. Why do you believe that Obama is the best choice for President? Bush is the past (soon enough), so answers involving him are null and void. Why is this inexperienced nobody the best choice? - Ken |

He talks a *great* game, but he's dirtier than a dirt road. Little is said about his "mentors*, or about Raines and others who took tens of millions from FM and FrMac and are now working for him. The company he keeps, past and present, smells of greed, lies, socialism, etc. McCain may not be the perfect candidate, but he is all we have right now. Again the Dems have outdone themselves. First Gore (in a contest that should have been a sweep), Kerry (in another contest that should have been a sweep), and now a nobody with no experience *whatsoever* (in a contest that should have been a sweep). We shouldn't even be *discussing* who is going to win. The Dem candidate should have been a shoo-in this time around what with the umpopularity of Bush. Perhaps it is the even more unpopular Dem Congress that is causing the close contest. I make out either way. Obama wins: Jo retires (yahoooo!) and the expected suicide watches across the country are cancelled. McCain wins: another Republican in the WH. Besides, it ain't gonna matter much who wins. Trust me. It ain't gonna matter. Dave (back from fishing East Outlet and sharing a room in the Rangeley Inn with a ghost) |
