Yes yes, I keep saying I will, but now I REALLY AM going to start posting more. Even if it's minor things like this:
The '08 elections have taken on a sort of circus type attention. With the withdrawal of both Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter from the race, personality wars seem to be the order of the day. While each candidate represents his own portion of party...
John McCain: DefCons and some FisCons.
Mitt Romney: AllCons (which would be fantastic...if he hadn't flip-flopped around to be an AllCon)
Mike Huckabee: SoCons.
Rudy Giuliani: DefCons and FisCons.
Ron Paul: All the aspects of the party that come out of the woodwork at night.
...the main reasoning behind choosing your candidate seems to be "electability". Apparently the Democrats are on the verge of taking the country, so we need to elect someone who is suave enough to appeal to everyone and his dog. So subsequently, the candidates either aren't getting enough scrutiny from the base, or are getting plenty, but their shortcomings are being overlooked for "the greater good".
It's a sad thing, but this race has degenerated into prize-over-principle politics on the Republican side.
