Not another Clinton!

"The Mouth," James Carville, predicts Al Gore will run again in 2008. At least that will guarantee an interesting primary campaign.

Carville also puts his money on former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee as a long shot for the Republican presidential nomination in '08 because "he's a little like President Clinton. Carville is "impressed with this guy’s political skills.”

That's a little frightening -- no, a LOT frightening. Has this country really come down to electing someone based on the political skills rather than their philosophy, experience, and policy recommendations? Sadly, the answer is yes, but I'm not sure the country is ready for another Clinton -- or another president from Arkansas.

America is not what she used to be

We watched an old movie tonight about the Japanese attack on Wake Island. These GIs were tough and knew they had a mission. I couldn't help but feel for our own soldiers now in the Middle East in harms way. I pray they don't know what is going on in Congress and in the national media. But, I fear they do know. This is not a good time for America.
