I still like Fred’s comment about John Wayne and Chuck Norris. Heehee.
For what its worth....Our election process has become a race for celebrity as opposed to electing the best man. Look at what’s happened since the JFK-Nixon debate. It was argued that Nixon “lost” the debate, not on substance, but because he had a five o’clock shadow. It has been the best sound bite, the best looking, the best whatever. The media darling and the media has become the king-maker. If the media decrees, you sit by the sideline ala Hunter and Paul. If you’re a friend of the moderator, you get more “face time” than the other candidate. McCain stabbed the conservatives in the back with legislation, and is the one most often mentioned by Democratic pundits as their “favorite Republican.” Why? Because McCain is the most like them and he is the media darling. If you watch H&C Sean drools over Rudy. The Fox Wanna-Be Stars think Mitts the one. The problem is, unless you’re a Freeper and look beyond the sound bite, we’re looking at electing a “clean, well-spoken” black man based on the fact that he is good looking and the master of the 30-second sound bite. While I firmly believe that FRed is the best qualified, he has to fight an uphill battle and unless he starts fighting for his “face-time,” We’re going to be looking at a long period of the Democrats controlling the White House and Congress.
Time to send him more money.
