VOTERS: BE CAREFUL FOR WHOM YOU WISH

The Republican presidential candidates are looking and acting as un-presidentially as anyone could imagine.  BBC News had a headline: Republican rivals' race gets ugly.
This is somewhat amusing as it has been ugly all along. 

The debate circus will continue with the next one this evening. The comedians, who can say what most people think but don't feel comfortable speaking and are delightfully verbal. Many are picked up by MSNBC evening political shows

Al Jazeera writes that US politicians are getting richer despite the recession.  Cliff Schecter writes the question as to whether the XX factor (gender issue) is what forced Michele Bachmann's backers to drop.   It is, perhaps an interesting question as we are seeing so much misogyny in our country today from politicians, but we need also to make the candidate, herself, responsible for presenting as incompetent presidential  material by her many gaffes and her positions that would put us back several years.  She would undo everything Obama has achieved and says she would waterboard detainees (found to be torture and unacceptable by the Geneva convention..

Without question, all candidates make promises that are impossible for them to achieve but are bought by the naive as appealing. The candidates are acting like the children in  Lord of the Flies.  None of them seem to understand the Constitution nor what the majority of American people want and need. 

DONALD TRUMP AS SEEN BY AL JAZEERA

Donald Trump is seen outside the US quite differently than he is pictured by many in today's media locally.  Al Jazeera has an interesting article about him today.  Since many of you may not read it, click here to see how he is seen elsewhere.  The article is written by Cliff Schecter.  ""Little Donnie Trump, the dumbest kid in the class." This only somewhat facetious refrain was proffered on a day when Trump had said something particularly insane, by a friend of my parents who attended school with The Donald when they were just boys." wrote Schecter.

"That Trump has taken to promote this silliness should not be surprising. No, because it betrays what Donald Trump is: the living embodiment of every degrading aspect of American culture.
Trump is a guy who is famous for spinning a false resume - as a supposedly intelligent businessman - into fame and additional fortune. Much like with our national political conversation, the truth is incidental. Even when one's tall tales can be empirically proven to be as fake as the synthetic turf grass on Trump's noggin. It is of no matter"

How is it that people outside the US have a clearer vision of truth than those in the US who allow themselves to be brainwashed with lies?  That the man can capitalize on the lie that Obama is not a citizen is so anti-American it is difficult for me to believe so many people.(polled to be mostly
Republicans) have so little intelligence that  they cannot do the logic and check for themselves the sources which prove he was born in Hawaii when it was legally a State of the US.
