Perhaps the times for the likes of a Harry Truman or Ronald Reagan are past us?
Perhaps the media mudrakers and /or political pundits have become expert in hyberbole effectively creating a mountain out of a mole hill?

Perhaps there really never was a pure candidate but the media and political pundits strongly believed that for the sake of the country they had to take the high road and focus on the nation's troubles and comparing the skills of candidates learning which in their opinion possess the best to resolve our problems?

Perhaps the /american people have become so exposed to a "Hollywood reality mentaility" that we no longer recognize what is required to maintain a civil society?

For those opposed to Newt Gingrich, you will savor Ann coulter's column in Sunday"s Daily Sun.

For those of you opposed to Sarah Palin you would be proud of the article she wrote which was published in today's (11/18) pertaining to the immumity congress has from insiderer trading which enriches them all. Palin demands that the Freedom of Information Act, conflict of interest laws, etc be mndated to apply to Congress. Her article is classic Palin and the reason I wish she was elected to a federal office. She is a doer. But again she too faced the media which ground her up like hamburger. What person in his/her right mind would place themselves at the mercy of these jackals.?
