The Big Questions for the debate likely will go unasked

The first of four debates in the run-up to the presidential election may or may not take place tonight at the University of Mississippi. If it does, don’t set your hopes too high. Judging from past debates, some of the most important questions may never be asked.

The first debate will center around foreign policy and national defense. Since no nation can be secure without a strong economy, host Jim Lehrer likely will bring economic issues into this debate. In a perfect world, these are the questions that would be asked and answered. Use this list as a guide and keep score. Continue reading “The Big Questions for the debate likely will go unasked” →

Palin: It’s all about the “O”s

I will not lose a night’s sleep worrying about the fact that the bright, articulate,
winsome Sarah Palin could be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

Sarah Palin is the only one on either ticket who has any executive “real world” experience – the only one of the four who has ever met a payroll or had bottom line responsibility.

Bill Clinton laid out the master plan but Edwards couldn’t follow his bread crumbs. And, Edwards wants us to believe he is smart enough to run the country!

Voters awake from their quadrennial slumber about this time every fourth year to prepare themselves for the business of electing a president. We cast all our cares and concerns on a man or woman we think can save us from our excesses, our personal responsibilities, our enemies here and abroad.

By the time the election rolls around, most know very little about the man or woman who gets their vote. We simply don’t care enough to reach beyond the rhetoric. We pick the one who looks, sounds or acts more like the Superman (or Superwoman) we would like him to become.
