Flip-flopping conservative talk radio running scared and sloppy

Posted by rscme on February 5, 2008

A month ago, conservative talk radio hosts berated Romney saying how could he possibly be electable since he was once for abortion rights and now he’s against them. I mean, how could you trust a man like that.

Now in the last few weeks, Romney is the golden child. They are calling McCain a pseudo-conservative who is as liberal as the liberals.  And today I heard them refer to Huckabee as McCain’s attack dog, insinuating that Huckabee and McCain were working together and that Huckabee is being set up to attack Romeny on McCain’s behalf.  My god, they are running in circles and are so confused that the neo-con talk show hosts haven’t even mentioned how much they hate Hillary or Obama.  Are they so scared and distracted that they forgot to mention how much they hate liberals??

It’s crazy out there.  Don’t listen to any of it.  Go to each candidate;s web site, read what they are for and against, and make your own decision based on who is still running and compare all that to what you believe in.  It is a bit entertaining, I must say, to listen to the right wingers act as if they have one shoe is nailed to the floor and they are walking in circles; meanwhile a carrot is strung on a stick in front of them.  They don’t know what direction to go in, or what schemes and conspiracies they can dream up to try and fool and manipulate the public.   They should definitely turn down the thermostat in their radio studios because I can hear the sweat dripping on the console.

Who to vote for in 2008?

Posted by rscme on February 5, 2008

The answers are probably more simply than we think.  First, I think it is pretty easy to get to the fact that it is time for a Democrat in the White House.  Quite literally, democracy means (the people rule).  It is a party based on civil rights, individual freedoms, and the freedom of the press, something we have not had for quite some time, not really.

So if you want to boil it down to Hillary and Obama, I believe the answer is even more obvious.  It is about having an internal moral compass.  Both of these candidates have them, but are both compasses pointing north.  To me, there is nothing Hillary won’t do to become president, nothing.   Whereas I believe Barack Obama has limitation on what he considers out of bounds.  He has been dragged into conversations about experience and race, only that he could be raked over the coals regarding these issues.  I think if it came down to it, he would walk away and run next time rather than put up with this type of politics.

If what you want is true inspriation, has Hillary Clinton, with all of her experience, inspired you?
