Only in Sevier County
This is the front page of yesterday’s Mountain Press, the local newspaper. Only in Sevier County would Obama’s election day victory not be the lead story.
Lame
I can’t believe there’s only going to be one vice-presidential debate.
Lame.
Ugh. Who chose the time for this debate?
I can’t keep my eyes open much longer. I was really looking forward to watching this debate, but after a long week … I just can’t do it. I don’t want to be awake any longer.
McCain is starting to scare me
McCain is now holding the Friday presidential debate hostage. Pass the bailout or no debate.
McCain also said he would not attend Friday night’s debate with Democratic rival Barack Obama unless an economic bailout deal is reached by then.
This is wrong on many, many levels.
Isn’t this the best time for a debate? Shouldn’t they be discussing such a monumental economic crisis? Is McCain afraid of discussing it with Obama without note cards? Why is he so eager to pass the legislation, even if it’s bad for the country?
I could go on and on. What really scares me is that this is more evidence of McCain’s weakness as a leader, and I’m afraid a lot of the country will see it as a strength.
No, sir, I don’t like it
The more I think about this impending big business bailout, the more find to dislike.
The way I see it, a very few people in our country found a way to make a lot of money off of worthless securities - eg those mortgages that were doomed to fail. Then when they did fail - surprise, surprise - they expect us to bail them out. And this after Lehman’s executives, at least, give themselves massive bonuses - $1.5 billion in bonuses for a company that is bankrupt.
Bankrupt is right; morally bankrupt.
And not only are we supposed to bail them out, and not only do I not get a say in this, our representatives are being railroaded into making this decision NOW! or the whole world will collapse in a pit of fire!!!
I can’t help but think we’ll all regret this and very soon. It seems like a Michael Moore movie in the making.
What he said
Contrary to the News Sentinel’s front page headline today (”Republicans decided, Democrats divided”) and lame right-wing talking points about the big rift in the Democratic party, what this primary is showing is that Democrats can field two strong candidates who can energize the party and put up record turnout numbers nationwide.
Meanwhile, the best candidates the GOP can come up with are Mitt, Rudy, Fred, Chucklebee, and their eventual nominee… McCain?
Because I’m a dork
I find it exciting when candidates drop their bids for the White House; it’s like watching history in the making. We now know that Giuliani wasn’t going to be president (I knew it anyway - if the country couldn’t spell his name, they weren’t going to vote for him). We now know John Edwards won’t be president. And the race is focusing.
I can’t wait until Tuesday.
