Jay said, "Obama blew his change platform with a Joe Biden pick. If he was
going to do that he should have picked Hillary...that was stupid."

Whilst all of us make mistakes, including Presidential candidates, making a
blunder of that caliber is demonstrative of other possible appointments and
decisions.  Whereas the old codger from Arizona demonstrated a style of
judgment that many Americans are looking for.  

Reagan said that the problem is government.  Actually one problem is
inbreeding or inside the beltway groupies.  While some inside experience is
helpful and appropriate, too much yields the economic results we see going
on, on Wall Street.  Insider control of destiny leads to not seeing the
obvious and not seeing the truth.  

Obama’s approach is just a twist of disproven Marxist and Keynesian economic
policies.  While they criticize supply side economics they miss an important
aspect.  The fundamental issue that they miss is that they, be they
Presidential candidates, Senators, Congressmen, or liberal news
commentators, they are not by their position smarter or more knowledgeable
of things than others.  Others, means ordinary Americans like those on this
forum.  Sometimes those others are smarter, or can see the situation better.

Bill Buckley said, “I'd rather entrust the government of the United States
to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the
faculty of Harvard University. William F. Buckley (1925 -2008).  What he was
saying is that Americans collectively are not stupid.  However, individually
politicians can do stupid things.  

Liberalism or any form of Marxism puts too much power in stupid mistake
making politicians.  Those who accept creeping socialism are those putting
the power in those who lack vision or just the ability to see truth. 

Yes there is a need for a Sheriff, but the Sheriff must be accountable and
not self serving.  The Washington politicians, whether Bush, Reid, Pelosi
and all the rest have neither the desire for truth and honesty, nor the
capacity to put those who do in the right jobs.

McCain’s choice of running mate is the first light that Americans have seen
in solving this problem. 

McCain's decision is the first good grasp toward good judgement.
