"May I have another, please?"
No, this isn't David Copperfield or Tale of Two Cities.
This is the 2008 race.
And, my "another" refers to choices.
Isn't there a dark horse out there to rescue America from the mediocrity of the current crop. Or, can we combine some of the issues into one candidate? Like Tancredo on immigration reform, Guilianni on law enforcement, Romney on management, McCain on foreign policy?
More importantly, does anyone have a vision of how to correct the difference, the chasm, the abyss, between what America is today and what the Founding Fathers envisioned?
What happened to individual responsibility? To respecting yourself though individual accomplishment at whatever personal sacrifice?
What happened to community socialization and enforcement of cultural norms?
What happened to parental values and parenting of adherence to respect for your fellow citizens, respect for property rights?
What happened to community, and national, leaders who care more about doing what's right, that getting elected? Did they ever exist, other than in idealistic dreams? Did "Mr. Smith" ever go to Washington?

Barry: Since you haven't noticed, let me call your attention to Dr. Ron Paul. He recently passed McCain and has the other three contenders solidly in his sights. He is moving up to the great distress of the poswers that be and the news media who want a socialist President. IF you don't vote for Dr. Paul, remember it every April 15th as you try to dig through the mountains of (over 6000) pages of the IRS Code and meekly fill out and "Voluntarily" sign your 1040.

I think the USA has had enough of gestapho republicans for a while, thank you. They say be careful what you wish for, you might just get it. GWB might just invade Iran and then use his executive power to call off the election due to wartime. Or was that priviledge. I have picked a candidate that I agree with on all but one issue, and have some reservations about, simply because I can not pick a composite candidate and the only other one that intersts me has about as much chance to win as a snowball in hell.

Of the candidates you cite, none have any qualities that should interest any free thinking person.
