None Of The Above
Lambert at Corrente used this post to complain about Tom Friedman, who is, was, and always will be clueless, but Friedman did find ‘an acorn’. The problem is that he couldn’t understand what he had discovered.
There was a Washington Post-ABC News poll released on last Friday that reported that two out of three US voters would consider voting for a third-party candidate, and 48% definitely wanted a third-party in the race. This means that almost half of the people in the sample aren’t happy with what the two parties are offering, and want something different.
I’ve been in that 48% for some time, but if you still don’t understand why, the State of the Union speech and response should clear things up for you. I don’t listen to them, because I would rather see what, if anything, is actually in the text, than to be a theater critic rating the performances.
Here’s the text of Zero’s speech and the text of Mitch Daniels’s response.
Mr. Daniels is the Governor of Indiana and an Austerian, who looks like he should be a local mortician. If you were casting a zombie movie, he would be worth a call. It is hard to believe that people were trying to get him to run for President, well, except for the reality of who is running for the Republican nomination.
