Soundbite campaigns April 29, 2008
Posted by reformedville in : Government , add a commentThe soundbite campaign season is in full play and appear to be mostly a season of deception.
In a age of seperation of church and state, lets keep the state and the media out of our churches.

Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean said Monday that either Hillary Rodham Clinton or Barack Obama must drop out of the Democratic presidential race after the June primaries in order to unify the party by the convention and win the election in November. But Dean didn’t say which candidate should drop out, only that it should happen after primary voters have been to the polls. “We want the voters to have their say. That’s over on June 3,” Dean said in an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Dean also said that while the party rules say Democratic superdelegates can wait until the party’s August 25 convention to make up their minds, that would be too late to unify the party and defeat the presumptive Republican nominee, John McCain. “We really can’t have a divided convention. If we do it’s going to be very hard to heal the party afterwards,” Dean said. “So we’ll know who the nominee is and that’ll give us an extra 2 1/2 months to get our party together, heal the wounds of having a very closely divided race and take on Senator McCain.” |

Is his attempt to have a peaceful convention going to create even more problems?
Of course this is also Howards brainchild-misinformation that Barack Obama calls the politics of the past (but uses himself):
We released our second national television ad this morning on John McCain and Iraq. Watch it here; http://video.xanga.com/uprisingyouth/a6155729488/video.html

When we lived in Estes Park , CO (Rocky Mountain National Park ) I was working in Denver ( and Cheyenne WY ) , traveling down the canyons at 4am with the elk and fog and coming home in the early evening would be very relaxing enjoying the view the entire way home (once I passed Boulder and got on Rt. 36) . We would go into Rocky Mountain National Park a few times a week (From our flat it was 7 miles to the main entrance and 9 miles from the North entrance ) and we would frequently travel on Trail Ridge Road. Trail Ridge Road is the highest through highway in United States. It crosses the park from east to west and then drops into the Kawuneeche Valley, where the North Fork of the Colorado River flows. As you travel along Trail Ridge Road, above tree line, you are on the”roof of the Rockies” with superlative vistas of glacier-carved peaks on every side. The road travels for 4 miles above 12,000 feet and for 11 miles above 11,000 feet.. My brother sent me pictures of The Millau Viaduct this past week and it reminded me of driving in almost unnatural conditions.
The Millau Viaduct is part of the new E11 expressway connecting
