Seriously?), so it's not just one policy.<br /><br />But the drug war is so terrible, that if a candidate opposed it, he'd have to be pretty terrible for me not to want him in office.Stravinskynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740670447258719504.post-15840767035012344152011-12-22T22:15:43.306-05:002011-12-22T22:15:43.306-05:00Daniel,

Romney would be more tolerable if he wasn't massaging popular indignation at Obama with lies. Bachmann can't get a break even when she's right. Santorum is well-meaning but fanatical. Newt is an inveterate old chameleon who seems to wiggle out of having changed his opinions on issues of substance much more recently than the other candidates, on the whole (i.e. being against Rand Paul's "right-wing social engineering before he was against it.")<br /><br />Yes, I've also found myself wondering if Clinton wouldn't be better as President recently, but Obama hasn't done too terribly either, on balance. Any policy mistakes or lost ground can be gained back - though I say this recognizing that this is too late to help many people screwed over by illegal foreclosures and the rest of the lax oversight pushed by fifth columnists for finance in the W.H.<br /><br />Anyway, this whole post just demonstrates how poisonous a policy discussion can get when it veers off into political discussion.

And which one of these two really seems like the racist president, practically speaking?"<br /><br />Now we're talking (even though this is the classic false dilemma, and the choice is not this simple).<br /><br />Hopefully a lot of people have gotten over Obama's amazing ethnic/racial qualities and are looking for him to do concrete things. Fair enough - he needs to sell the public on what he has done (the recent banning of mercury in power plant emissions is a great example of hard-won progress getting little media attention) and he needs to give an account of the things he hasn't done.<br /><br />The drug war is one of the strongest criticisms that Ron Paul can make, and I agree that it typifies a "keep your head down, keep grinding away" approach instead of an intelligent approach (we'd save money over our current approach by focusing instead on supporting people and families wrecked by drug abuse, instead of persecuting and jailing drug offenders, and eventually paying anyway for their rehabilitation and for their kids, privately or publicly).<br /><br />However, I don't believe any President or legislature is going to make a move on this one any time soon - even if Dr. Paul uses the bully pulpit of the Presidency to question drugs policy, he simply won't get anywhere with it. Remember also that just a few years ago Republican voters were saying of Obama what they had said about Clinton - that he'd be toking it up in the W.H. The real progress on this front is being made in the states (and even there I note strong efforts to roll it back).<br /><br />So far - one good issue for the Doctor, but not one on which he can deliver.<br /><br />So to look again at the classic dilemma - do you want an evil candidate who will accomplish good, or a good candidate who will accomplish evil (a bit like Nixon / Carter on domestic issues, don't you think?), why not trade one of these categories, which don't influence the policy, for an ability to get things done?<br /><br />It would be refreshing to have a President who uses the Presidency to spread good messages - something President Obama has struggled to do. But I don't think that's any substitute for being able and willing to deliver a wider range of good policies (the "drug war" is just one of a range of U.S. policies that could be looked over as anachronistic at best - like the glut of overseas military bases).Edwin Herdmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05040978095707760636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740670447258719504.post-10561644585474492442011-12-22T18:09:14.613-05:002011-12-22T18:09:14.613-05:00Don't get met wrong.

A little deconstruction of Obamacare plus any kind of fiscal stimulus would be preferable to the maintenance of Obamacare and no fiscal action on the horizon. Plus I bet Romney would be in a better position to broker real entitlement reform than Obama.<br /><br />But as it stands - right now - I'm going to be supporting Obama.<br /><br />Over the next eleven months, though, if Romney fans really worked on me I might vote differently.Daniel Kuehnhttp://www.factsandotherstubbornthings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740670447258719504.post-38637914955547305582011-12-22T15:55:09.679-05:002011-12-22T15:55:09.679-05:00Daniel,
