Watched the Democratic Debates last night, and found every candidate had positions on certain issues that I agreed with, but that none of them hold enough right positions on the key issues that I would at this moment give them my vote. One thing is certain, come next November, we as citizens will have a choice of picking the lesser of two evils.
Dennis Kucinich was not his usual jovial self last night, seemed quite bitter and angry at the entire process. Perhaps because he knows last night was his swan song, that his participation in the process is about to end. I like him, but he lost any chance at my vote with the position he took regarding illegal aliens last night.
I liked what the New Mexico Governor had to say on Energy and Global Warming...it was pretty startling (in a good way) to hear the former secretary of the DOE come right out and say that Nuclear is not the answer. Again though, his position on illegals is a real sticking point.
CLinton offended me several times last night, but what else is new. What I could not believe, was her trying to defend NOT raising the cap on Social Security, as such a move could hurt many of those earning over $97,000 a year. What am I missing here? IT's OK to hurt those earning under $97,000 a year by taxing every cent they earn, but GOd forbid those earning say $250,000 a year have to settle for a mid range Mercedes? At least Obama had a clue, and was honest in stating raising of the cap would only affect the top six percent of citizens in America...CAN WE SAY THE FILTHY RICH?
None of the candidates, except maybe Biden were being honest about Iraq.
Teachers and merit pay...agree with Dodd who wants it based on teachers willing to go out into hard to serve areas and make a difference. Here is another clue. How about if we start funding education federally, so that all schools are created equal.
Edwards we can all forget about. There is something inherently dishonest about him.
One thing was obvious, and that is CNN is trying to set the deck in favor of Obama and Clinton, and are pulling for Clinton. Don't rule out a Clinton/Clinton ticket in 2008.
