I admire people like FDR. They had a hands on approach to government. I think that your
government has to be driven by policy. I think that since the Media campaign that created
a victory for Nixon, that the race has dwindled into photo ops and sound bites. I want
an idea what this person is going to do, I don't want beautiful, polished phrases. I want
to know more than Help is on the Way. It seem like the old politicians used to campaign
like that and that is what I want. And I think that is what the old time Democrats want
and that is what I am. My statement that I was a traditional democrat, but I like a hands on
approach refers to my feeling I am going to make up my own mind in 2008; and I am not going
to pick who is being pushed on us. It now seems to be Sen. Clinton. I will have to have
real reasons for supporting the candidate for Prez in 2008.
