I have called for election reform involving voting among all candidates, regardless of party or how many of the same party are running on the ballot. It could be 30 people on the ballot, I don't care. They do this in many of the other "democratic" nations of the world. This would take place of a "primary" and take place 30 days before election day. The top three vote-getters are given consideration. If one of those candidates has over 50% of the popular national vote in that initial... [ More ]

I totally respect the Libertarian viewpoint, but I just feel that it goes to a theoretical limit, rather than a realistic one. It's like if you held up a ruler that measured government intrusion in our lives, with complete intrusion (socialism, dictatorship) on the left, and lack of government (choas, anarchy) on the right, I think we would both end up on the right side of the ruler, but you would be a bit further along than me. Of course, from the Libertarian viewpoint, the ri... [ More ]

You can interpret what I write any way you want. I can also disagree with your interpretation, so you and I can give it a rest and let the readers make their own interpretation. By the way, I'm a Libertarian not a liberal Democrat. There's a big difference. Neither Bill Clinton nor George Bush would have been nominated from that party.

no brilliance displayed on her trip to the middle east.

Condi is not "making herself look very ugly" (your exact quote). Any photographer can catch someone in an unflattering pose, as was apparently the case here. I did not see the photograph you're referring to, not that it matters. And JE, I do not place a very high regard on the education system, as you apparently do. "Rhodes Scholar" means very little to me, and is not indicative of intelligence in my book. Clinton's attendance at Oxford is nothing special to me either. I th... [ More ]

There ya' go again. I wasn't comparing Condi Rice to Clinton. I didn't insult her intelligence (I know she's smart and she does her job well.) In no way am I discriminating against her (that sounded a little PC to me). I was simply stating a fact as I have seen it in recent photographs of the lady. She has been shown snarling and glowering in several different photographs. If it were Hillary Clinton I would have made the same observation. The only reason I used Clinton in... [ More ]

As far as looks go, anyone can look bad in a photo. If a photographer catches you in the right (or in this case "wrong") light, he can make a subject look 10 years older too. I have always felt that Ms Rice is a stunning woman, but we shouldn't judge any person in authority by his or her looks. I agree that Ms Rice gets a lot of criticism because she is a female. So does Hillary Clinton, another very intelligent and well educated woman who is insulted in the press all the time. <br... [ More ]

Condi Rice is smarter that all of us put together. Comparing her to Bill Clinton is pretty insulting to her. Calling her angry is odd, but placing emphasis on her looks, not matter in what context, is a typical slam against women with a degree of power. It always surprises me when women who are normally indignant on principle when another woman is unfairly criticized in a way that has the appearance of gender discrimination gives a pass when that woman holds a different philosophical viewpoint from them. I've done some research in the past on discrimination tactics, so maybe I'm just keenly aware of these things, and my antennae shoots up when it senses the codewords.... [ More ]

Ah gee. Clinton's mad. Ah gee. Some pretty woman made him mad. Likely as not those red faces are the reason the prediction page ain't been updating, the top predictor list, the site's been down so much and when it's up you can't post, or can post and it vanishes. I don't know much about global warming. If I thought it was something I could do something about if it's a problem, I'd do a web search to learn about it. I don't care one way or the other about Clinton... [ More ]
