Don’t Vote for Fastest Race Horse
By Matthew Hurtt – The Daily News Journal
What upset me during this primary process is that many voters with whom I have spoken have commented that they are torn between the candidate they want to win and who they think is the most electable. I guess most people see the presidential election as a horse race.
The failed logic behind voting for the perceived winner is that perception can often be deceiving. This time last year, Rudolph Guiliani was the clear frontrunner for the Republican Party, but his campaign crashed and burned before it got off the ground.
This video explores the similarities between McCain’s answer to an economics question posed to him by Congressman Ron Paul at the Florida Republican Debate and Miss Teen South Carolina.
“We cannot build an enduring peace based on freedom by ourselves. Nor do we want to. The Declaration of Independence proclaimed our duty to pay decent respect to the opinions of mankind.”
“We should go further and start bringing democratic peoples and nations from around the world into one common organization, a worldwide League of Democracies.”
“This League of Democracies would not supplant the United Nations or other international organizations. It would complement them. … If I am elected president, I will call a summit of the world’s democracies in my first year to seek the views of my democratic counterparts and begin exploring the practical steps necessary to realize this vision.
