However, political correctness aside, I still think there needs to be a measure of civility displayed by all sides. People let their emotions get carried away or use bluster as a substitute for logical analysis.
I'm gonna vote for Bush (because McCain wasn't nominated) not because I'm a right wing republican, but because I'm Moderate pragmatist and I think both McCain and Bush are as well. I think they are men with certain principles that they hold fast to, rather than trying to reinvent themselves each time the political winds blow the other direction. Sure they might bend but they won't break down and completely change.
Quite unlike hypocritical individuals like Gore who used to be pro-life, but now is pro-choice, used to be pro-tobacco, but now cries about how his sister died from lung cancer (after smoking tobacco from their rich daddy's tobacco fields), or how he evented the Internet when he can't even figure out why a couple of years worth of emails couldn't be retrieved once subpoenaed.
And I can't stand someone like Hillary, to whom politics is a business and profession, not a temporary calling. But even worse, I hate the fact that she is so appallingly stupid to have once told some New Zealanders that she had been named after Sir Edmund Hillary, the Kiwi who became famous for conquering Mt. Everest in 1953.
Hillary was born in 1947 (when the only thing Edmund Hillary might have been famous for was bee-keeping).

The American Spectator reports in 1996 that on her Asian tour, Hillary Clinton told New Zealand television that she had been named after Sir Edmund Hillary. Sir Edmund, however, was an unknown beekeeper the year of Mrs. Clinton's birth. |
