Hillabeans Clinton

A few weeks ago Hillary Clinton proclaimed that if the Democratic Party's primary process had the Republicans' rules she'd already had won the nomination. In a related, yet way less reported, story - If soccer was baseball you wouldn't get a point for kicking a goal.

She was asserting that she is the better candidate because the general election is based on states won not the popular vote. This week Hillary says she should be the Democratic Party's nominee because she leads Barack Obama in the popular vote.

In less than a month Hillary has said that she is the better candidate because she leads in the popular vote and because the popular vote doesn't matter.

"I have never seen a candidate so disrespected..."

McCain's "Just" Visiting

John McCain approved of and supports the Bush administration's invasion and subsequent "war in Iraq" but has recently been insinuating that Barack Obama isn't qualified to make policy decisions on Iraq because Obama hasn't visited Iraq in over four years. How many times did George W. Bush visit Iraq before he authorized the unilateral, preemptive, military action to overthrow its government?

Also, I’ve decided that one can be for the invasion of Iraq and against the handling of the war in Iraq, but one cannot be for the handling of the war in Iraq and for the invasion because all explanations that justify why Iraq is the clusterfuck that it is are reasons why the Bush administration should not have rushed into the "go-it-alone" invasion of Iraq.

Surrender Reason

This presidential campaign has got my juices flowing and hopefully I'll get back to frequent posting...

In response to being heckled during a speech Sen. John McCain said he would "never surrender in Iraq."

"Surrender"? Didn't we attack Iraq? Attackers can't "surrender," attackers can only "stop attacking."

When a rapist stops raping his victim and runs away, the cops don't say that the rapist "surrendered" to the victim.

Only defenders can "surrender." When attackers stop attacking it's not called "surrendering," it's called "leaving."
