Re: The End of America
You do know that Harry Reid is totally nuts, right?
I am trying to figure out which Democratic leader is crazier, Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi. Also, Vice President Joe Biden is not exactly spot on.
Joe Biden, however, is a likeable guy, kind of bufoon in a way but seems like a nice enough person. He lost his family in a terrible car accident years ago and rebuilt his life again with a new wife and he fathered a new group of children who seem to be doing well. That part of his life is something he must be admired for. Even so, I just can't believe how foolish some of the things are which Biden spits out when interviewed. Some of the things he says are incredibly inappropriate!!
Reed and Pelosi, however, have no redeeming character traits or talents, skills or abilities that I can see. They are both "bat shit" crazy. To me, Pelosi doesn't appear to be fit to live in society on her own. Seriously, I see her as someone who should be living in a sanitarium under medical supervision. How this woman can be the Senate leader for the Democratic pary is simply beyond rationality.
I thought that Reed was not quite as crazy but it's starting to dawn on me that perhaps he and Pelosi are equally messed up.
Going even beyond that is the former Senator, John Edwards, who was Kerry's running mate in 2004 and then battled Obama and Hillary for the Dem presidential nomination in 2008. It was easy to see that Edwards was a total and complete phoney, championing the causes of the labor unions and being a friend to the poor while, all the while he was scaming the legal and political system to make big money, not to mention cheating on his wife and fathering children out of wedlock.
Howard Dean is another nutty person who rose to a high rank in the Democrat party but for some reason, the party demoted him and he is no longer in the limelight.
Saving the last for the best, I would like to mention Al Gore. I could see back in 2000 when he ran against Bush that he was messed up. He looked very wooden and was probably taking a lot of psychiatric medications as well. I would bet that Pelosi is also taking heavy psychiatric meds Daily. As far as Reed goes, he might be taking something but probably not as much as Pelosi or Gore.
While I do not believe that Reed or Pelosi have any special abilities to lead and are among the worst possible choices available to hold their leadership posts, I do feel that Al Gore does have some intrinsic leadership abilities. The problem with him seems to be that he is not comfortable in his own skin, so to speak. He is stiff and awkward being himself so he has to take on different identities to appear to be more natural. He has discomfort being those identities as well so he medicates in an effor to make himself look looser and more natural being something he is not. The result is not very convincing, he still looks stilted and wooden.
He is on a tredmill, juggling his different identities with his different medical drugs. That is the way I see it and this is only my opinion as are my comments about all the others mentioned except perhaps Edwards, where there are facts available to back up the opinions.
Gore really took a hit losing the 2000 election to Bush by a tiny tiny whisker. There is no doubt that if Ralph Nader had not run, Gore would have won; also Bush's margin of victory was so slim that perhaps Gore did win by a handful of votes rather than lose by a handful. That presidential race was in reality a tie. Not becoming president when he wanted it so badly and came so close really impacted him hard. Who would blame him for being emotionally scarred by that and for being damaged psychologically?
