Democrats debate
I actually watched the Democrats debate in Iowa Sunday. The highlight was of course the softballs thrown by George Stephanopoulos of ABC, who ought to “announce".
M.E. you should have mentioned the reason for the Kucinich joke, about praying for a chance to participate in the Democratic debate. The “reason” was because Stephanopoulos gave the liberals a chance to portray themselves as God fearing, asking if they thought prayer worked.
I thought “D-candidates” answered in herd-mentality. Saying prayers can’t stop tragedies like a bridge collapse or a New Orleans flood, I waited patiently (I am not a patient person by reputation) for any Democrat to speak of God’s “free will", as it relates to humanity. They did not.
Free will lets humans build cities below water-level and bridges over water. If we fool with Mother Nature (one of God’s constraints) then we are responsible for failures of our construction. Praying to God that our architects do a better job with levies and bridges might be a good idea. It was funny though, when Kucinich said he had been praying to be called upon by Stephanopoulos. I think though, if you were going to tell us Kucinich’s punch-line, you should have explained the question.
I have been a candidate often enough to understand herd mentality at campaign forums. The only candidate to distinguish himself among the Democrats is Obama. He is probably too different. The “big tent” concept has been fraudulently advertised by both parties. I hope the Clinton legacy does not tarnish Obama. I would like to see both parties put forth their best.
This letter has not been edited.
Steve, what was a good god-fearing righteous religious Republican doing at home Sunday watching the debates? I thought all righteous Republicans would have been in church singing psalms and praying for us godless heathens?

Posted by on August 22, 2007 03:11 PMWho or what is M.E.? If Steve is trying to make a point about prayer and free will, it's lost on me. And how would the Clinton legacy tarnish Obama? Does anybody understand this drivel?
Posted by karen on August 22, 2007 03:55 PM"rambling incoherent mess" - that's good. I don't think they even look any more at what people are writing - how else would Brian Stuckey - stuck-record keep getting his inanities printed every other day?
Posted by Norris, Sir on August 22, 2007 04:08 PMThese debates are already rediculious, by the time they really matter they will have debated 100 times. I've already got debate overload. On both sides they rarely answer the question asked and always stay with the talking points. Ron Paul is the only one I have seen that really answers the questions without trying to be so PC. i like Obama because he doesn't sem to be too jaded yet but sometimes I just want them to answer the damn question...
