Political Equinox

As I watched the final Republican debate before Super Tuesday I noticed two things.

Mike Huckabee talked sense. He talked to the people. Although, Anderson Cooper didn’t give him much time, he made the most of what he received.
John McCain was boring. He was dull. I started falling asleep.

Tonight, John McCain made it clear that if he receives the Republican nomination, either Barack Obama or Hilary Clinton will slap him silly. That would be easy to do, all you have to do is talk faster than paint can dry, something McCain isn’t able to do.

Meanwhile, Mike Huckabee was very strong when he was allowed to speak. Huckabee hit the …

Following the media’s take on women in the upcoming election they seem to be writing them off as Hillary Clinton supporters. I personally have not witnessed droves of women who will vote for Hillary Clinton just because she is a woman.

Just because Hillary has a chance at being the first female president doesn’t particularly mean that those who share her female status will run to the polls all prissy and pretty in their purple dresses and vote for her.

I don’t have a comment on this. However, I look forward to yours.

Oscar Pistorius is a double amputee who had his lower leg removed as an infant. He has been training on what are known as Cheetahs, essentially carbon based blades shaped in a J that can function as well as normal legs in terms of the sprint.

Let me start this post by saying I hate pork projects. I hate them with a passion. I’d go as far as putting the line item veto in place to stop all those meaty projects. That’s why I have a problem with Ron Paul saying he never votes for pork.

Ron Paul touts himself as a fiscal conservative. No doubt he is, but he goes to the extreme of condemning all spending that isn’t in direct correlation with The Constitution.
