kev: And, as evidenced by some of the comments on this thread, the strength of the wedge issue persists. God forbid anyone spend the time necessary to educate themselves on the issues; rather, let’s focus on single issues and lose sight of the big picture.
That is what got Bush elected twice: The ability of Rove to create divisive wedge issues that diverted focus, and allowed for an effective divide and conquer strategy.
There is not a single candidate out there right now that has offered a more honest, and pragmatic, view of what confronts us right now than Ron Paul. And I consider this guy a fringe player (based on his politics and voting record). I wouldn’t vote for any of the Republican candidates (other than Paul) and certainly none of the Democrats.
