Reply #94: Cliched? Nothing I have said is remotely cliched. Warner hasn't [View All]

[wisteria]

been around long enough to be a cliche. As far as presenting in depth positions, I don't have to this, you are sold on the guy, I consider this to be your job to relay in depth information. All I've seen are resume materials and fluff pieces. I offer a balance to this. If Warner is applying for the job of President,IMO, he needs to present more that just a litany of accomplishments as a one term VA Governor.Why does he want the job? In other words, there isn't enough to go on in regards to Warner. Maybe some like an unknown that can't be pegged, but I like to know what I'm getting in a President.

Since the theory of detectability is one consideration in regards to Warner, I can only offer that the theory of winning with a red state governor has been disproved just about as often as it has been pr oven correct. IMO, it all depends on the the candidate and the times.

I consider my criticism of Warner over his "this Democrat" statement to be valid. I don't care how others perceived it or may spin it, I took it as an arrogant,smack down against anyone willing to call out the President and his actions, as well as an insult to those who have been addressing both the issue of the President misleading us and a positive outcome for the Iraq war. And he had the nerve to make this statement even though he has never been in a position to have had to make such tough choices before the war. His statement also concerns me on a more serious level. If we do not investigate and confront the mistakes and possible lies now, this will leave open the possibility that a future President will take our unconcern and inaction to mean that he or she is free to behave in a similar manner or even take it a level or two further.
