An interesting read

July 13th 2008 15:35
Every now and then I find an article in both Left and Right leaning sources that deserve to be brought to everyone's attention. This is one of those articles, chock full of documentation that the media are giving Senator McCain a "pass", perhaps to keep the race close and interesting.

In any event, I suggest: Really Long Link

They are more than a bit biased and are the one of the most liberal, anti conservative sites in America. So, why wouldn't they bash McCain.

As a read, it wasn't particularly uplifting or edifying.

I totally agree that the Report comes down on the Liberal/Left side of the political spectrum.

But the article contains documentation -- which you can certainly ignore.

In any event, regardless of your conclusions and value judgments, thank you for having the curiosity to read the material.

I do not expect everyone to agree; that's why I invited Randy to join us, to give a counter to my positions. Unlike some sites, I welcome robust debate!

The information they offered is not that shocking or new, it's more posturing in an attempt to make their candidate more appealing.

Personally, the lot of them should be scrapped and let's have a redo.

I'd much rather have Condi Rice as a candidate, she has much more hands on experience internationally than either of them.

Actually Jim I found the New York Times', 7/4/2008, rebuff of Mr. Obama to be much more entertaining (and a couple of the comments on the post actually made sense, but I just read a few). Actually I can not claim to know just exactly how Social Security was originally designed. I do know that I (and my employers) have paid into it on my behalf for over 50 years. I still have a long way to go before I feel I will have to accept my monthly check with any guilt.

Frankly, I am scared, really scared, of Mr. Obama as the leader of anything. Just too many questions about his background and upbringing. I would much rather see him spend a few more years "in training" so we could have a real track record to guage his abilities as leader. But, the Dems are apparently going to appoint him as their candidate and there is little or nothing I can do about that.

Unfortunately, I think Mr. McCain is past his time and his apparent mental indiscretions are proving it. The Republicans need to do better in their selection of a candidate.

Seems like we are being forced, for the third consecutive election, to choose between two poor candidates. I am going to take a real hard look at who the VP selections are and that willl weigh heavily on my decision on who to vote against.

Meantime, the Huffington Post will make as good a wrapper for dead fish as the St. Pete Times.
