Random Thoughts From Marybeth

Wictory Wednesday

"I will say no." -- John Edwards, asked what he would say if he were offered the Vice Presidential nomination of his party, 2/01/04.

At least he will fit right in with the waffle campaign. If you don't like what either of them say, wait a few months. If the polls agree with what you want, you can be sure they will change their opinions too. Being open to differing ideas and opinions is a good thing but changing what you claim to believe to suit whomever you're speaking to doesn't tell me what you think.

Espousing the views of the majority is fine when it comes to day-to-day business. Because the president has to work with the House and the Senate, what the majority wants is (usually) what will happen anyway. I want to know what a presidential candidate really thinks. Knowing what a man thinks will give an indication of how he thinks. This will help me decide if he is the one I want making decisions if there is a crisis.

In November you will have a choice, president and vice-president who have shown true leadership or a pair who just echo back what you want to hear.
