There are sufficiently many "leaders" that if each manages to fool some of the people some of the time, you have a population of fools for all eternity :).Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594337050083581727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32255069.post-21696372111322722832008-09-14T06:48:00.000+03:002008-09-14T06:48:00.000+03:00Gus, Guilty as charged; I have gained some respect...Gus, <BR/><BR/>Guilty as charged; I have gained some respect for the like of Hillary and McCain, warts and all. <BR/><BR/>Still, I agree that the Dems may well win; profiles like Obama may well be the future of the United States. But I am skeptical of the whole situation, as it reeks of the Segolene-Sarko duel, heavy on style and short on substance. <BR/><BR/>Ever once in a while in history, some politician shows up that claims to change things. Then they fail to do so, and thus either ask for more power to so, or are undermined by events and kicked out too soon.<BR/><BR/>All politicians are the same, across all <A HREF="http://books.google.ca/books?hl=en&id=XsrhU2vV5PIC&dq=chimpanzee+politics&printsec=frontcover&source=web&ots=9-J30ekqBh&sig=jPrs7_4W0wN8qnuNeS_63G8gWEk&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=2&ct=result" REL="nofollow">primate species</A>.

Fortunately many of the Democratic primary voters were able to distinguish between the pretenders and the genuine article that you wish to denigrate by calling hyped up. This hyped up person is the only major political figure , not only in the US but even the world, who has the courage and the intellectual capacity to call fora new politics. McCain and even Hillary belong to "your fathers politics" while Barack is the future.<BR/><BR/>As for the Palin, she is a strange product of misrepresentations and madison avenue kind of lies. I will be a giraffe (put my neck out) and predict that her stardom will self distruct in short order; have you had a chance to see her amateurish performance in the only interview that she has dared give so far. (She was for the bridge before she was against it, she has no idea what the Bush doctrine is, she used earmarks but she also opposes them....)<BR/><BR/>I will even make another prediction based on my interpretations of the electoral map, The Democratic ticket will win over 300 electoral votes and possibly as much as 320!!! (But even if they don't where is it written the the best shall always win, GW has won two terms after all:-)).Ghassan Karamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15562232018685403280noreply@blogger.com
