power

it occurred to me the other day that while all of the presidential hopefuls (with the possible exception of mccain) continue to have a field day bashing the president for his handling of the war, none of them (with the exception of paul & kuccinich) have recanted themselves of the power that the president now wields. none of them have said that they would open the doors of gitmo to the international community. to my knowledge, none of them have promised to submit themselves to the scrutiny of the congress in the event a declaration of war is needed. i don't specifically recall any of them saying they would never utilize the kind of unilateral measures used by the current administration (with the obvious caveat that we are not in immediate danger, of course).

did you know that ron paul has raised more money than john mccain? the mccain campaign is almost broke. the paul campaign raised over 5 million dollars in the 3Q. i don't think that the media is liberal so much as it simply suffers from group think. it just looks liberal now because part of the current group think is everything bush does is bad. i remember not being able to watch the news without hearing about that blue dress in the 90's. *shrug* just thought i would throw that out there. by the way, i learned that tidbit about ron paul on the Air America website. who says liberals can't report good stories?
