He's the Mister Rogers of this campaign, but you don't want to play in his bizarre neighborhood. I can believe he's successful only because Republican politicians have urged their party so far to the right, they've abandoned their incompetent representation. The party is self-destructing, we've seen that in the US House. Their whining on the campaign stage is not amusing; it's pathetic.WendyChttp://twitter.com/WendyCCHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-80744483581843264532015-10-30T13:12:44.567-05:002015-10-30T13:12:44.567-05:00Hillary Clinton endured 10 hours of questions from...Hillary Clinton endured 10 hours of questions from hostile idiots and never turned a hair.<br /><br />These guys collectively endured two hours of mildly aggressive questions from the financial news channel where the Tea Party originated, and they're still bitching about it.<br /><br />Remind me again which party is supposed to be the tough-minded one?Bitter Scribenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-62157514140448766542015-10-30T12:43:21.172-05:002015-10-30T12:43:21.172-05:00Very interesting, Bernie.Very interesting, Bernie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-81857111557825100282015-10-30T12:41:22.571-05:002015-10-30T12:41:22.571-05:00comma after neighborscomma after neighborsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-35725796299572261762015-10-30T12:40:32.511-05:002015-10-30T12:40:32.511-05:00Ah yes, the Terror in the French Revolution.

In the interest of keeping some sliver of hope alive, my favorite technique for selecting the best candidate is to identify the one or two issues of most importance, and weigh each candidate's ability to address that issue. Since I won't vote in the Republican primary, this is all academic. My issue of greatest concern is the 19 trillion in accumulated national debt, and rising, along with the approaching retirement of baby boomers and there massive burden placed on social security and medicare costs. Ranking candidates best to even try to handle this problem are, Rand Paul, John Kasich, and Marco Rubio. Second issue is civil liberties, only one being Rand Paul. An additional aside would be to note, Dr. Carson's tax plan is not just of biblical proportions. His plan is writ in stone, the Rosetta Stone! Not counting Roland Burris's tombstone in Oak Woods Cemetery itemizing his life achievements, has a greater memorial been created for a man. The Rosetta Stone lists the accomplishments of King Ptolemy V. Please allow me to quote line 12 from the Greek: "and of the revenues and taxes levied in Egypt some he has wholly remitted and others has lightened, in order that the people and all the others might be in prosperity."Berniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157600812959885192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-80257940233998796222015-10-30T11:20:23.771-05:002015-10-30T11:20:23.771-05:00Kasich certainly seems reasonable, compared with m...Kasich certainly seems reasonable, compared with most of the others, but he's done a number of things in Ohio that might well give Democrats bad dreams. Still, I'm not sure that he and Bush have the least chance of getting elected. One of them could yet emerge with a chance once this silly season concludes and people actually start voting. I still find it very hard to believe that the Republicans are going to nominate Trump or Carson.<br /><br />Another instance of "be careful what you wish for". My main hope as this interminable campaign was approaching was that we would not have another Bush-Clinton match-up. Little did I realize what the alternatives to Bush would sound like.Jakashnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-60326317144886819012015-10-30T11:04:47.038-05:002015-10-30T11:04:47.038-05:00A fair amount of real change comes via the Supreme...A fair amount of real change comes via the Supreme Court.

A few months ago Jeb Bush was considered by many (myself included) to be the front-runner Republican, and look how far down the pole he's slid. Maybe he just has no speaking skills, but he seems totally inept to deal with a position requiring quick thinking, or any thinking for that matter. Trump is still a buffoon, Cruz and Fiorina scare the crap out of me, and Carson has become a laughing stock. Rand Paul actually sounds half-way intelligent and Rubio presents himself well (though Rubio seems to be disguising his true inner agenda). Kasich makes me nervous as hell. Oh, I forgot about Christie....what a mean bully he appears to be. (Did I leave anyone out?)

I would worry more about Cruz, who the Washington Post dubbed one of the winners of the debate. (Whatever that might mean.) He is from Texas. He is glib. He even looks like Joe McCarthy. And he brings to mind what Mirabeau said about Robespierre, the foremost advocate of terror as a necessary component of revolution: "That man will go far, for he believes everything he says."<br /><br />Tom EvansAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-44877317975318962622015-10-30T08:29:30.369-05:002015-10-30T08:29:30.369-05:00If only we could realistically have more choices t...If only we could realistically have more choices than Republican or Democrat.
