They should let him get to the general in 08, we'd be so much better off.
In 12 though so much of the ideas he has are so out of time.
The rough analogy IMHO - In 08 before we started sawing he'd have saved the tree which is standing in the middle of a few million people.

We have now cut 1/2 way through the tree. No way to save it now, you just need to make sure it falls on the fewest people.
No you cant move the people ... and you cant let the tree be either ...

However I am not for throwing the doors open to all illegals so the right can get their vote ... what will happen iis, that will let in a few millions illegals who will probably be split but it will alienate the hard core right wingers ... so the right is likely to stay where they are, and the left is likely to get a few more points ahead.

Cool.

smart would mean she knows facts... but she was stating what will be facts in future... it will be interesting to see how well her future facts hold up.


I was thinking "A-HA" when at 14:10 she began on how the USA is a two party system.  So I went the sage... wikipedia.  And they coorborate her use of the term. Its sad to me really... here is a quote from the article:

Herein lies the central tension of the two–party doctrine. It identifies popular sovereignty with choice, and then limits choice to one party or the other. If there is any truth to Schattschneider's analogy between elections and markets, America's faith in the two–party system begs the following question: Why do voters accept as the ultimate in political freedom a binary option they would surely protest as consumers? ... This is the tyranny of the two–party system, the construct that persuades United States citizens to accept two–party contests as a condition of electoral democracy.

This is been my point for a long time.  Whether one votes rep or Dem... its never a real vote for what one truely wants... its just a vote for most of what one ones, or even part.. or even just a little.  Thus yet again... as I have in every election since Regan.. voted for neither party.
