As soon as any candidate is trapped into a single specific, he is mercilessly hammered from all sides. The fact seems to be that no one really wants any change, though everyone says he does - I mean the electorate here. Yet they are so pissed off with the current situation that they vote out of spite for whoever seems to be the boldest at coming up with new spews of "I hate everybody, but I love America".<br /><br />Jeankfl - I am totally impressed with both Buffett and the Gateses who seem to understand that handing a kid a golden pass is sure to destroy him or her. They are doing so much thereby (not counting the charitable work) both for their families and for their country, which hardly needs another clueless rich kid buying an election.<br /><br />Liz - Actually the suit-free look is a positive in my eyes. It is nice to see candidates who actually realize it is not 1950. However, you are correct in thinking it mostly a ploy - they still have the archaic old neckties in their hearts.DavidShaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02378015294494222646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7854090250820154334.post-49312598802905440782010-10-26T12:03:51.321-04:002010-10-26T12:03:51.321-04:00And then go one step further to include not wearin...And then go one step further to include not wearing a suit coat and rolling up your sleeves to seem that much more "everyman."Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06022297670179924365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7854090250820154334.post-91400061336040476202010-10-18T00:06:36.961-04:002010-10-18T00:06:36.961-04:00So true..

They get enough to make it, and the tools to do so, but they have to work and accomplish like he did. Otherwise they get stupid... In Oklahoma it's all about the mudslinging. We can suuurre sling some pretty hot muck down here.. of course, most isn't true, and even if it is, it makes no difference, but they sure give it a try!! Makes me want to hurl, rather than vote for any of them..Jeankflhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13830433635650943988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7854090250820154334.post-83252235580690459892010-10-17T18:32:43.473-04:002010-10-17T18:32:43.473-04:00What I would really like to see the candidates do ...What I would really like to see the candidates do is start spending whatever they want to on ads that actually state their platform, their ideas, their solutions. STOP spending wasted money on making us hate the other guy. When they ALL do this, we can't see anything worth voting for, let alone have any hope that at least one of them might have any ideas at all. What would happen if a few of them started actually talking like adults?? Listening to all the ads, I feel like I am overhearing nasty converstaions at the Junior High School dance. There is hope, let's focus on it folks, instead of leaving it in the dust of our fast-moving spite.Onebeamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537794003059528170noreply@blogger.com
