All that is going on right now are appearances and speeches, with last night being the very fist debate of the '12 Campaign Season.

That's it.

Mr. Finley is in a unique situation, given his current profession. He is supposed to be able to accurately and thoroughly inform his readers on the current issues. To do that he needs to be informed himself.

I asked him last year to name all of the candidates on the ballot for governor here in Michigan; he couldn't.

If he couldn't take the time to educate himself on just five people, exactly how well do you think he'll do with the eleven-or-so candidates currently on the radar?

I'd wrap this up by pointing out how things got to where they are at today.

Jason hit the nail on the head when he said this:

"Nolan? Repeat after me: "I have largely ignored the message by the Tea Party over the last two years, and find myself afraid to challenge the conventional wisdom as designed by my media masters."  Its true."

Trading away our principles to make nicey-nice with the democrats accomplished what?

• More entitlements?

• Expanding government regulation?

• Exploding debt?

• More taxes?

• Candidates and elected officials who are totally indistinguishable from democrats?
