Oh, I find them all odius, but for different reasons. That's based on their voting records and their campaign materials. Now for Obama, you dig into his career as IL state senator ~ wants to take your gun, give you nine-one-one. McCain ~ two words: Kennedy, Feingold. Clinton ~ You WILL pay for her healthcare at whatever price SHE decides you can afford. Three liberals in my view. This election will be between Lenin, Stalin, & Kruschev.

Don't be misled by the cheerleading media or the angry blogs (or the America-hating pastors) about the candidates.

Surprisingly, the 14th congressional district of Texas (like congressional districts in the rest of Texas and in 49 other states) directly elects its representative to the House. Since they just *re*-elected Ron Paul, 70.2% to 29.8%, it doesn't look like they feel sorry for themselves. No hanging-chads, there. People who love Big Brother can rejoice that the top 3 people most likely to be the next POTUS will see to it that you have no privacy (or say) about anything.

I quote: "For government to entice a citizen to break a law with a sting operation ... (blah blah blah)" So, in order to support his wacky views, Ron Paul basically just lies and makes up things that never happened. Here he claims that the government *enticed* Spitzer to cheat on his wife with a hooker. Everything I read indicates that he arranged everything on his own .... and has been screwing around with hookers for the past *ten years*. And there was nothing ill... [ More ]

I think we've already learned the answer to this question. :-) <br

There's an episode of the Andy Griffith Show, where Opie records the accused admitting his crime to his lawyer. Andy tries to explain why it's important to not use evidence collected that way. When we're dealing with clearly unlikeable people or groups, it can be hard to keep to that standard. For me, I always ask two questions: 1) How could an outsider tell the "good guys" from the "bad guys" if they all use the same tactics? & 2) Even if our current leaders(sic) are most honorable, occasionally we "mess up" and elect the wrong person, so what happens when an evil or incompetent person has access to these powers?...

Interesting viewpoint. I agree in part as I commented in another blog when I first learned of this story. The government shouldn't be watching our bank account activity. However, an elected official needs to be held to a higher standard because of his power. Spitzer participated in the very act he prosecuted others for, so he is the ultimate hypocrite. However, I do agree that if we don't fight for our right to privacy, we'll all be wearing microchips soon and depositing DNA at a local cell bank for identification purposes.... [ More ]
