[Donald Rumsfeld Fan]

I am also no fan of an approach that is purely a personal attack and does not adress ANY real issues

We will always have issues. But if we can't elect people with courage and character who can deal with them we are wasting our time.

"Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees all others." Winston Churchill.....

"But if we can't elect people with courage and character who can deal with them we are wasting our time."



One way to achieve this is to display a little character and not jump into the sand box with the children by stooping to personal attacks. Reagan did not need such nonsense to win, and Palin wisely seems to be avoiding this tactic herself.

The politics of personality over principle leads to personality cults and then to a dictatorship.
