I am quiet impressed by two very unlikely ie "unelectable" candidates who are in the fray. Republican/libertarian candidate Ron Paul and Democratic candidate Senator Mike Gravel. Not that I agree with them 100%. I am not eligible to vote but I wish I could. I really wish these people make it past the primaries and become real candidates. Even if one of them makes it to the final election that would do wonders. I am not sure if the democrats are smart enough elect Sen. Gravel.
Given that Bush/Cheney/Daschle effect will most likely drown the "electable" republicans in the election, I am hoping that congressman Paul's fresh (ie freshly old) ideas would rejuvenate the conservative base and get him past the primaries. Original conservative/libertarian ideas look especially fresh after the jolt people got for believing these neo-cons and neo-christian fundamentalists. Back down to todays realities of sound bite politics. I hope the presence of these gentleman in the race will have some real impact on the so called "electable" candidates. I am pray that the two put up a tough fight in the new primary format where multiple states go to polls on the same day. I am hoping that the so called "electable" candidates will be given a run for their money.

Politician'c heart
After reading about "Cheney's pace maker gets a new battery" I could not resist writing about it. Before read this news, I would have argued that the title of this blog is an oxymoron. I believed politicians had no hearts, before that I used to believe they had ones made of leather (where they kept money and credit cards).
After this new article by our fair/balanced/unbiased media, I have to agree, I stand corrected. Politicians do have hearts, the kind that needs that need batteries. Now that justifies all their actions. A human heart is definitely a prerequisite to be a compassionate capitalist. And for the liberals who are called bleeding heart liberals, a different or new term like "leaking heart liberals" would be more appropriate. Most either had no hearts to begin with or become disasters, who new a inter national hero like Mugabe would turn into a daemon once in power.
Coming back to Mr VP, may be his heart is manufactured in the military industrial complex towards which he seems so compassionate. How else could you justify their utter recklessness in squandering a fine military victory. The disaster that followed it for which we are sacrificing lives of 1000s of soldiers and 10's of 1000's of civilians, maiming 10's of 1000's soldiers and civilians and creating millions of enemies and supporters out of ordinary Iraq's. I pray every day for healing of every one affected by this disaster. Hopefully through some miracle more people with real human hearts will gain power in governments through out the world and stay that way through their reign in power.
