The Detroit Debate 003

Ack! "The Christian Right and the right Christians". I'm no fan of Sharpton, and the problem is that it's almost catchy. Lieberman's response remains pretty good, and I maintain that he's a solid candidate.

John Kerry, I'm not interested in what you think about Jerry Boykin. That was a lousy joke. Johnny K., I wouldn't talk about Rice, Rumsfeld, Cheney, and the rest; they're got more experience at the helm of the country than you do, and all the French your wife spouts can't give you the global perspective that we've got concentrated in the current administration.

DOMESTIC POLICY

Carol Moseley-Braun actually gives a good answer for once...wait. She was sounding decent until she started yammering about health care coverage.

OK, this guy asking about the money to rebuild America's cities is a nut. I personally am not interested in spending money on American cities---they've had their chance, and they have not led. Edwards panders to the cursed teachers' unions, but follows with something about home ownership, and that's a good thing.

This guy asking the question is a biased fool. There's probably a reason why he's not a national presence, and I think it got shown just then. Addiction to prescribed prescription drugs is not the same thing as willful addiction to something like crystal meth.

Kucininch's public education strategy is a bad idea. So's his full employment program, but at least he's honest about it: "A WPA-type program." Good to know that the real left hasn't had a new idea since 1933. Cancelling NAFTA and the WTO might be amusing for a couple of years, but I doubt it's a good policy.

Dean thinks Medicare/Medicaid is a solemn contract between the senior citizens of the country and Lyndon Baines Johnson. That's fine. I signed no such contract with Lyndon Johnson, and I'm not interested in upholding his end of the bargain.

Now we're away from this theater that keeps getting raved about to commercial break.
