Fred, Newt and Hillary
UPDATE: Welcome Unity08 guests.
Though I often disagree with him, I admire A.C. McCloud's writing and, by extension, thought-process abilities. He has a very good post today on his belief that it will take either Fred Thompson or Newt Gingrich to beat Hillary Clinton (if anyone can) in 2008:
Edwards hardly projects any strength and the notion of him on a poverty tour is high comedy. Barack has lately lost a couple of outboard engines and the inboards are smoking. He doesn't have the experience to run this country but he's only in training anyway.…How about politician emeritus John McCain? Despite his firmness on Iraq and his past valor, the straight talk boat capsized with immigration.…There's Mike Huckabee. He's smart and quick-witted and seems honest but it's hard to believe this country can elect a Baptist preacher in this day and age.…As for Newt, his brilliance in the field of political science and history along with his arch conservatism greatly interests some. He would certainly be a very articulate president. Thing is, he's got so much baggage some of it's still rotating around the carousel at Hartsfield International. The left will do everything possible to resurrect the image of "the Gingrich who stole Christmas"…
There's more political backspin where that came from. I'm not saying I agree with it all (for example, the points about Huckabee's and Romney's faiths seem to contradict one another), but I value this input into the conversation.
I'm in a difficult position with regard to this next national election. I'm vehemently opposed to continuing the two-family oligarchy, yet the Republican offerings are fairly unpalatable. Maybe that's why I'm signing up people for Unity08. Forty years ago, it was "tune in, turn on, drop out." Now it's more like "come on, get real."
