Where Are They Now? John Kasich's Denver

Love Kasich. One of the few true fiscal conservatives. If he was in charge of Congress we wouldn't have a rediculous deficit. Liberals are smart to fear him

McCain should pick Kasich for VP. He is conservative. He is young and can connect with the 20 something generation. He represented critical Central Ohio for 20 years and he could really take on the left wing policies of Biden.

Kasich would be the perfect choice for McCain - that's why it won't happen.

Wow. I was stunned by this decision. Absolutely stunned. I have always liked McCain and was swayed by his description of the inexperience factor with Obama. But he has completely undercut his own argument. Palin has not been vetted AT ALL on the national stage - at least Obama has been vetted for 4 years, 18 months of that being the intense scrutiny of the campaign trail. Now we have just 4 months to figure out who she is and where she stands on issues of monumental importance. This was a very frustrating pick for me, and makes me question again who I should vote for.

Im confused I still dont get how people even look at this as a presidential race.1)whats democracy the freedom to have diffrent views and ideas ETC and voting but the key fact is whenn majority votes you should try to help and support. thus giving it a reality not stay split example drugs are illegal lets say since one congress person or senater rep or pres says i dont agree it doesnt mean he can go sell these drugs or support it. HINT IRAQ AND ITS SOLDIERS 2) when you support you dont give yourself more money and take from those you say you support(example) We want the troops home and bush gives the ones who have PTSD and resarch into that for help more money.congress and senate reps take all of that money and what he gave and took half mor then say come back so we can take more from you so you can be outcasted or called a lunatic when you shoot up someone wife police etc see the problem is those tipe of politicians that actually only care about ther pocket and wealth not people.3 and the last social securities idont care if you rase it but how about some insurance that we are going to keep it around because if we are not going to keep it you spent to much you pay for it not the rich middle or poor

In Effect, There Is Virtually No Candidate
Increase Decrease

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

September 2, 2008

The inside information is, contrary to anything different that only foolish people might believe, both putative Presidential candidates are now doing nothing as much as losing the general election. The voters are panicked by the state of the economy, on which neither of the two has a clue, or is likely to ever discover a clue.

Unless Vice-President Cheney can start World War III very soon, in which case neither Obama or McCain would ever be President. The situation right now, is that the election could be called off, while the nation operates under an unelected "emergency government," for the duration of the presently onrushing global, economic breakdown-crisis.

The only leading issue on the electorate's mind is the plunging state of the U.S. and European economies, which means that Obama's constituency as November approaches, will be, basically, the serried ranks of some Buppies and Boomers, that is, if the chain is not pulled on Obama, as has been expected, by some time during September-October.

Meanwhile, Senator McCain's virtual breakdown in accepting the Governor of Alaska as a stand-in for the Senator Lieberman whom he really wanted, combined with the effect of several factors on the Obama candidacy, means, that, as of this moment, it is probable that neither will be a standing candidate come November. Gustav came as a welcome excuse for many Republicans' non- attendance at this week's opening of the nominating convention. Of course, nothing is certain, except chaos, unless we become lucky and get an option I would prefer.

British thuggery pushed Hillary out, but it also wrecked the Democratic Party's likelihood of winning the election.

The problem is not limited to the intellctual incompetence of the two Presidential candidates. In effect, letting the British (e.g., Rohatyn, Soros) steer muddleheaded Nancy Pelosi into virtually shutting down the U.S. Congress for most of the past two years, and eliminating the only leading pre-Presidential candidate who has shown the ability to think like an actual President, the U.S.A. does not have the prospect of an actually functioning, properly elected President assuming office come January.

It is the reigning Federal political system, in the Executive Branch, and the leadership of both branches of the Federal legislature, together with the leading press, which are responsible for the general breakdown of the Federal political system at this time.

I am not proposing that that will be the situation come November election-day. In a situation like the present global financial and strategic crisis, the candidates nominated by the time the Republican conventions ends, may not be candidates when election-day arrives. Past Labor Day, the fact of the incompetence of the present top leaders in the Congress, the candidates, and the major press, will have begun to kick in.

You can nominate a zero, but no sane person would ever believe for long, that it was actually our President. So, Gustav saved many leading Republicans from disgusting themselves by attending the Republican nominating convention. As things stand now, the name of the next President of the U.S.A. might turn out to have been "None of the Above."

As usual, when I am abroad for a few weeks, there has been a bit of an emotional breakdown in places such as Leesburg. Don't let that discourage you; it happens regularly, and we have always survived such fits by the usual suspects before. In the meantime, we shall continue to do our job, and pay little attention to the perenniel gaggle of silly gossips.

Many things are about to change, and that more or less profoundly, very, very soon.

Am following the RNC convention and heard that ex-NY Mayor Guiliani got bumped from yesterday to today, from today to tomorrow. Will he get bumped tomorrow too?

Wonder if he is still entrenched in his infamous 'sweetheart exchange deals' where he gets his crimes committed by convicted felon in exchange for lesser penalty without ever being suspected?

Wonder if the reason why he is bumped is because he is in the midst of one of his 'sweetheart exchange deals' and solicit his protege ex-NYPD commissioner Kerik who may be serving 140 years of jail time for mob-related activities for such a deal?

Wonder which opponents is he targeting to rid of and will he use Kerik's mob connections?

Rumor has it that if he is able to pull off murders, the RNC may give him the VP spot and will come up with an excuse to rid of S. Palin, who is the best thing that has happened to the RNC by far, hmmm....

As one of Guiliani's many sharp critics, wonder if I should worry about my family's safety in the next couple of days too?

Wondering out loud....
