" I think it says something bad about our culture that people like the Hiltons and Kardashians can vault into celebrity status without having accomplished anything.

But I think it says something even worse about our culture that we are starting to pick our leaders this way. We face serious problems and a growing list of serious threats. We need leaders who are serious people. Not leaders who are famous for being famous."

Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelts T & F.

Now Bush, Obama and Palin.

Now tell me that office isn't degraded.

well considering Palin is not in an elected position currently, we can breathe a little bit easier.

But it can be seriously entertained. That is enough for me.

If you haven't read Leonard Pitts latest column you should, I wanted to stand up and cheer but I was in my car. :o

Odd to see that today Evan Bayh decided to become the 5th Democrat out of their seemingly unbreakable 60 seat (ok, 59 now) supermajority- not to run to the Senate again.

My guess is he doesn't want to be stained by fallout from the increasingly clear failure of the Obama Presedency and Democratic Senatorial inaction...and put his war-chest and popularity working towards a 2012 run for the Oval office. Too bad he dropped out in 2008- I thought his centrist stance on most issues was a nice choice against Obama and Hillary.

And for the Right side of the aisle all we can find is f**king Sarah Palin and or a re-re-recycled Newt Gingrich ? Jesus F***ing Christ.:unsure:

Er, that's the one I started this thread with, although it did come from the Seattle Times syndication...

Primaries are coming up. JD Heyworth (a sort of viler, male version of Palin) is running for McCain's senate seat here in AZ.

And the nutjob in Texas just came on my radar too. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2444048/posts

We shouldn't have to pay property taxes, apparently.
I didn't know roads n' stuff are free.

Hey, no fair! Perry and Hutchison are proven political class scumbags - at least Medina has yet to disgrace herself.

Also, she's not saying we won't need to raise revenue - she plans to increase e.g. sales tax to compensate.

So far, I quite like her and think she's the best of the bunch, in a "The good bits of Ron Paul if not a Barry Goldwater" stylee.

It's not just the nut ball agenda but she's also got those square-shaped glasses!

To 15% minimum.
That seems fair. I'm sure the lower income people won't mind. Got to be careful what you wish for, c.
