Washington Whispers
By Paul Bedard
As Sarah Palin continues to make political headlines, the mania surrounding her future and potential GOP presidential primary candidacy is heating up. Some think she’ll start a conservative think tank, but many hope she runs for the highest office in the land.
So would she make a good president or not? To answer this, we quizzed our large group of political insiders on whether she would make a good or bad president. Some think her conservative credentials would make her a hit as president. Others say it’s the fact that she’s a military hawk. …
The neocons, their admirers and their promoters are still filling the blog-waves with baseless RHETORIC. The neocons, their admirers and their promoters are still bottom fishing America for those whose mamas may have raised fools.
Will Sarah Palin make a good president? That question is quite a bit premature.
First, America is still agonizing over the presidencies of Ronald Reagan(the original neocon) and George W. Bush(the latter-day neocon). Did either of those two make a good President? How can you tell if either made a good president? Can you tell if they made a good president by comparing America before and after their presidencies. Or would one rather look at the “pocket-books” of the “politically connected” before and after their presidencies?
How can you tell if a president was “good” if much of what that president did is still a secret? If a president starts a war and won’t tell the truth about why he started that war – is that good?
Is Reaganomics good? Do the neocons plan to continue using Reaganomics to crash economies world-wide? Why is this author “messing around” with futuristic questions about the neocons when he could be answering questions about the past behaviors of the neocons – important questions that the neocons have refused to answer.
It appears that neocons, their promoters and their admirers abhors talking about past performance but delights in speculating about future performance. Neocons, their promoters and their admirers do RHETORIC – they don’t do PERFORMANCE.
But past data can be a real harbinger of things to come.
Why do the neocons, their promoters and their admirers refuse to talk about their past data? There is past data on America’s selling cocaine to its own citizens. There is past data on America’s handling of terror suspects. And there is past data on America’s handling of its economic recession. All three of those neocon problems occupy their own Pandora’s box. Neocons SQUEALED LIKE STUCK PIGS when non-neocons started to open the “terror suspects” Pandora’s box. And America already knew about water-boarding and penis slicing.
What about America was better after Reagan than before Reagan? What about America was better after George W. Bush than before George W. Bush?
The neocons continue to challenge the idea that “mamas didn’t raise no fools”
There has not been in the past – nor is there likely to be in the future any case where the neocons, their promoters or their mouth-pieces put up a single performance and claim THAT performance is their “ATTA-BOY”. Twenty-some-odd years of dallying with America’s controls and nothing to show for it – unless you are in the OIL Business or perhaps have political connections.
[And the author of the above post apparently still thinks the neocons were GRAND. Perhaps that can explain why he thinks Sara Palin would make a good president.]
