Comments on: A third-party candidate we can all get behind… http://www.simpleprop.com/2008/09/27/a-third-party-candidate-we-can-all-get-behind/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:16:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: wadE http://www.simpleprop.com/2008/09/27/a-third-party-candidate-we-can-all-get-behind/comment-page-1/#comment-11232 wadE Tue, 07 Oct 2008 16:40:48 +0000 http://www.simpleprop.com/?p=625#comment-11232 on one hand I'd like to think that humans are slightly more evolved on an interpersonal level than monkeys... on the other hand... eek... anyway, I think the blinking is because he's old and his eyes are drying out, and the not looking is a physical manifestation of him trying to marginalize Obama... but what do I know, I got a C in psych... As for MILFs versus Jr. Senators... a president doesn't need have been "in charge"... our recent love affair with former governor's occupying the white house has continually baffled me. A president needs to be a born leader and someone who can inspire and get folks from opposite sides of the aisle to work together. they don't need to craft legislation, they have people who do that for them (whether it's staff, interns, or lobbyists). Both Obama and McCain are capable leaders... I hate both of the choices their party has forced them into making for their VP candidates, but Biden is a better leader than Palin from all accounts (and not just due to length of experience). As I wrote separately, it's about what issues are most important to you, and which candidate most closely aligns to those issues. For me, as a social liberal and fiscal conservative, I find social issues to be far more important. I don't want to pay higher taxes, but I would rather pay more taxes for some programs I hate, than let another conservative supreme court justice get in. These are the deals we make with the devil... on one hand I’d like to think that humans are slightly more evolved on an interpersonal level than monkeys… on the other hand… eek…

He cannot stand Obama. But McCain's decision to go with a MILF with a lean leadership background(although she has been "In Charge" of more things than the Junior Senator from Illinois) just floored him. He told me he could not vote for McCain in anyway because of his choice. Ross Perot picked the wrong year to run as a third party candidate.
