Hi Ingrid,
I wish I had the money for a dissent camera but as my employment, or lack of it, situation now it would be irresponsible.
We went for a dear friend's wedding, which took place not far from the place this picture was taken - in the Llanthony priory. We traveled a little bit in Wales and in London, and visit friends that teaching in Oxford, and promised ourself to comeback for another visit because we really enjoyed.

That might effect the degree of victory or loss but not the essence. Take for example Bush, the father, lost despite the fact that he was a popular president with war victory in Iraq. Looking at American elections only as a beauty contest between two candidate is only scratching the surface. Additionally, and despite regular voting trend to elect to the senate majority of the opposite party of the President the general prediction is that Democrats going to pick many seats, in addition to their gain in the mid-term election, which cannot be attributed to the person running to the white house.
Looking at the trends - that were already evident in 2004 - shows a move of voters blocks in places like the mountain west and among those called Regean democrats from the Republican party to the Democrats.

You are absolutely right to argue that the Republicans are not any different from the Democrats in this respect and that they aren't representing an alternative of Free Market - extreme or moderate. This is one of the reasons I said from the beginning of this campaign, and as early as the last mid-term elections, that the republicans going to face major electoral defeat.

There is great difference between voluntary action, most of them where both side gaining, to coerced actions. Obviously the desire to decide how to distribute my own "wealth", along with the general notion of individual liberty is still hard to grasp and radical - but I hope someday even sophisticated minds will be able to grasp it.
Sometimes it takes a simple plumber to say that the king is, despite all the sophisticated theories, is simply naked.

It is literature, but my daughters will wait until they are old enough to watch it :)

This is correct.
Alan Greenspan should have known better. I suspect that the power and the desire to keep it, and to please his political masters blinded him.

Re: Yes, she is a women regardless her political affiliation

Don't let me start with Biden! (he already pissed me off but I wrote about it in different post). I guess it will be hard to convince you, even if I will bring the quotes of Palin talking about the bailouts (she didn't make any sense and had her facts completely wrong), nor her pork barrel history with the road to nowhere.
I think that McCain has no intention of using her for anything beside of this elections - and he isn't wrong. The problem is that he isn't young and healthy and voters have to think about the "what if" scenario.

I don't accept the premise that elitism is a bad for leaders. I would always prefer and educated, knowledgeable and , god forbid, intellectual on someone simple.
If Palin's great virtue is that she isn't elitist - it is a non-virtue for me.

Enough? what is it?
The post was mainly criticism the stupid argument that Palin isn't a women instead of valid criticism of her ignorance or intelligence. Specifically to your question - knowledge and intelligence are not qualifying factors, but I hope it was.

When Gibson will be a candidate I'll worry about his knowledge and intelligence. Palin stated clearly that she support Bush's policy, she should know what it is. I believe I wrote "that intelligence was not a qualifying litmus test for the role of VP before - nor for the President." - so that does answer your question, no?

Re: Yes, she is a women regardless her political affiliation

Rogel — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 18:32:50 -0000

But the fact that she doesn't know what is the "Bush Doctrine" is good reason, isn't it?

Military Coup? I'm a libertarian I advocate for non-aggression and none coercion!
What I'm suggesting is that people will understand that solutions and social development can be, and better off, done outside of the political system. The idea behind involving the government is that we employing its coercion abilities - we legislating and enforcing as a method to promote values. But if people will accept the non-coercion paradigm and that spontaneous order emerge - to the benefit of us all - when people are free than the need for coercion decrease.

I don't like any of them, not only Palin - and I'm saying that as objectively as I can :)
