On that topic, Charles Krauthammer wrote a column critical of Reagan on October 26, "Taking Reagan Out of the Race," to which Mark Levin, who worked for Reagan, immediately responded, "Getting Reagan Right: Charles Krauthammer misses the crucial distinctions."
What I appreciated in Krauthammer's column was his point that none of the GOP presidential candidates are perfect, but....
... in 2007 we have, by any reasonable historical standard, a fine Republican field: One of the great big-city mayors of the last century; a former governor of extraordinary executive talent; a war hero, highly principled and deeply schooled in national security; and a former senator with impeccable conservative credentials....Republicans have 4 1/2 good presidential candidates. All five would make fine Cabinet members: Romney at Treasury, Thompson at Justice, McCain at Defense, Giuliani at Homeland Security, Huckabee at Interior. All the team needs now is to pick a captain who can beat Hillary.
(Krauthammer as a pro-abort obviously has no problem with Giuliani, who I do agree would make a fine head of Homeland Security.)

If we can't have a pro-choice dogcatcher, how can we have a pro-choice Homeland Security chief?

Posted by: Jill Stanek at October 31, 2007 11:54 AMBut Jill, "You never know the aspirations of politicos who use low level positions as stepping stones, which is a dynamic in the Aurora PP situation. And you never know when abortion will interject itself in the strangest places, and other low level politicians will simply want to tow the line to protect their menial jobs, which is also a dynamic in the Aurora PP situation."
Couldn't Rudy use Homeland Security as a stepping stone to Presidency or Supreme Court or Attorney General?
Then what?
I am so cynical about all the candidates.
The heck with it - I'm voting a straight Bull Moose ticket this time around.

Posted by: Leah at October 31, 2007 8:18 PMLeah, you know what - even though Linus may have been "conservative," to some extent, he was a good-hearted little dude, and I think I'd vote for him.
I grew up with those 'Peanuts' characters, and it was one sad day when Charles Schultz said he was going to end the strip, and later when he died.
It's undeniably sentimental on my part, but I hoped that Charlie Brown would one day get to kick the football through the uprights, without Lucy snatching it away at the last second.

Posted by: Doug at October 31, 2007 9:59 PMQuite frankly, Doug, a Peanut's a Peanut. I don't care about their ideology, if one could run for president, they would have my vote!
I agree! Poor Charlie Brown. I wish that just once he would have gotten that football.

Leah, I would not only vote for them, I've eaten them - heck, I've eaten them raw.
Posted by: Doug at October 31, 2007 11:14 PMMan, I always thought that Peanuts was the most worthless cartoon in the whole paper. The only one I can't stand more is Cathy.
Posted by: Erin at October 31, 2007 11:19 PMOh, Erin. Peanuts are amazing!
But Cathy sucks, that's true. I can't STAND Blondie. My very favorite is Pearls Before Swine.
Posted by: Leah at October 31, 2007 11:29 PMMy favorite cartoon-artist is Gahan Wilson.
Posted by: SoMG at November 1, 2007 5:08 AMI hate those serious cartoons. They always make me feel like I am passing by two people who are having a conversation and I have no idea what they're talking about.
Plus, they're not even funny.....WTF?????
Posted by: JKeller at November 1, 2007 6:08 AMI haven't seen a funny comic page in years.
However, Peanuts is cute. And, I have laughed at a lot of political cartoons, but they aren't on the comic page.
Posted by: prettyinpink at November 1, 2007 7:28 AMI like the music to the Peanuts cartoon.
Posted by: heather at November 1, 2007 8:57 AMBizarro is the best comic evar.
