Kucinich has indeed dropped out of the Presidential race, after giving TV watchers one last chuckle on the Colbert Report, Kucinich left the Presidential Primaries to seek his reelection in Ohio’s 10th Congressional District. He has a tough fight ahead of him, with 4 other candidates jockeying for the job, often accusing him of being a part-time congressman. But even if he doesn’t retain the possition, don’t expect him to go quietly into that good night- he’s already led a drive to impeach VP Dick Cheney, and this week promised to go after President George W. Bush.
Just curious… I mean, obviously Hillary treats all of husband and former Prez. Bill’s time in office as a notch on her belt for political and Presidential experience, so, with Bill becoming so very vocal in the recent weeks- are we actually being asked to vote for something of a co-Presidency? Claiming to be another candidate for change, is falling back on her hubby’s glory days really the way to go? No article to link to here, just something I was thinking about.
Bill’s been quite brutal in his attacks on Obama recently as well, but the Dems aren’t the only party with a little heat being thrown back and forth…
Romney and McCain have been targetting each other a lot of late, and after a rather calm debate where they tried to avoid each other, they’re right back into the thick of their critisisms.
Mr. McCain dismissed Mr. Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts and a successful business executive, as a mere manager at a time when the American people are looking for a leader. Mr. Romney responded that he had experience in the “real economy,” far more useful than “time on K Street and in Washington, D.C.”
Of course, McCain has a little more help in his corner now, with the help of a certain sly celeb. Pun intended. On the Fox and Friends tv show, Sylvester Stallone made an appearance, and had this to say- “I like McCain a lot. A lot. And you know, things may change along the way, but there’s something about matching the character with the script. And right now, the script that’s being written and reality is pretty brutal and pretty hard-edged like a rough action film, and you need somebody who’s been in that to deal with it.”
Huckabee and Chuck Norris better watch their backs.
Oh hey, speaking of Huckabee… is he a racist? Or just a redneck? In South Carolina he made the statement to the audience “You don’t like people from outside the state coming in and telling you what to do with your flag. In fact, if somebody came to Arkansas and told us what to do with our flag, we’d tell ‘em what to do with the pole; that’s what we’d do.” An interesting statement as pointed out by Christopher Hitchens writing for the Chicago Sun-Times-
This is a straightforward racist appeal for the following reasons:
1. The South Carolina flag is a perfectly nice flag, featuring the palmetto plant, about which no “outsider” has ever offered any free advice.
2. The Confederate battle flag, to which Huckabee was alluding, was first flown over the South Carolina state capitol in 1962, as a deliberately belligerent riposte to the civil rights movement, and is not now, and never has been, the flag of that great state.
3. By a vote of both South Carolina houses in the year 2000, the Confederate battle flag ceased to be flown over the state capitol and now only waves (as quite possibly it should) over the memorial to fallen Confederate soldiers.
In a Primary where race has been an issue (even if some of the talk about it has been somewhat manufactured to maintain sensational dialogue for the headlines) this could possibly be one of the dumber moves a candidate has made.
