DNC Dilimma
While much is written and said about divisions in the rank and file GOP base very lttle is mentioned about the very deep divisions in the loose coalition called the DNC. There are still plenty of Reagan and 9/11 Democrats among the public that don't support retreat or the far left agenda of Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Harry Reid or prospective POTUS candidates, Hillary Clinton, Barak Obama or John Edwards. All three are running on a neo-socialist platform that will not play well with the voters once they are informed and are playing leap frog to see how far left they can go. Hillary now has to make pretty faces for the loony base of her party while trying to attract center and center right voters, she ain't Bill when it comes to a silver tongue, ingratiating personality, or ability to triangulate.
The fight between Hillary and Obama could get very ugly as she will pull no punches and her operatives are among the best and slimiest in the political business, Gov. Bill Richardson will benefit from the fallout.
Goat expects just the opposite from the GOP side, with ideas and real solutions being put forth with real discussion. Has there been a more solid, well rounded set of candidates put forth by either party that meets the caliber of those the GOP has put forth in decades? In fact, Newt Gingrich (video) and Mario Cuomo have launched a very intriguing idea where instead of a scripted moderated debate, the candidates sit down eye-to-eye and have a conversation in a townhall setting with a Q&A afterwards about the issues. Goat very seriousely doubts there will be much mudslinging by conservatives at each other and if there is, it will be squelched. While the Barnyard will fully support Mitt Romney in the primary bid, it will also fully support the GOP nominee and will not attack them in a personal way. In the Barnyard opinion, personal life that does not interfere with the ability to lead or govern should be left off the table, ie. messy divorces, affairs, etc. Goat did not support the impeachment of Bill Clinton as it was a waste of time and money over a personal fault, irrelevant to the nation as a whole, now if the Dems wish to try and impeach Pres. Bush over the war, that does affect an America that is engaged in a war for our way of life, a very different prospect.
