When Tom Tancredo dropped out of the race, the hilarious NPR news show Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me reminded us of just how great it was when Tom answered the hardball debate question “What would each candidate most like to have if he were stranded on a desert island?” His answer:
A boat.
Softball questions are pretty much all I see these days. The YouTube debates were a joke. The Facebook debate is very likely to be a joke. I want to know when people are going to get serious. I want to know when someone is going to stand up and say something that makes me feel as if he/she could carry out something resembling a solid plan, and perhaps do a few things I’d be proud of our President for. I want to hear someone talk about the past. I want to know that our potential president knows what exactly has happened in the Middle East for at least the past hundred years. I want someone who sounds like they’re in control or can take control at a moment’s notice.
Haven’t seen anybody like that yet.
If you’ve got any great political bookmarks or websites at which I can learn some impactful nitty-gritty about our candidates, I’d love to check ‘em out.
