Karger qualified to be at the debate in IA, OVER Santorum…who didn’t at all.

What’s up with THAT? If Karger, regardless of qualifying for a Presidential debate gets treated like this, what does it say about how the FEC and qualifying standards are to begin with?

Santorum was the one who isn’t likely to qualify to be in on any of these forums. Yet, he’s all over the place as IF.
Were the candidates talking about Jews the way they are gays, and didn’t invite a viable Jewish candidate to debate, they wouldn’t get away with such blatant bigotry.

And Karger and the rest of us would do well to say so. Early and often.

We already have a president with good ideas, unfortunately it is not his backbone that is weak rather the congress’ ability to work toward equality in this country is weak. We see that President Obama has an “evolving” stance on gay marriage (meaning in his heart he has always felt the inequality) but the need to govern from the center and reach consensus has undermined his entire presidency. Like Clinton, he can drop all of that pretense and do the hard work for social and economic equality in his second term.

I think if he and Huntsman together paid for air time and had a discussion of the issues, that President Obama would have a real problem in 2012. Karger and Huntsman are the only sane, smart people running on the GOP side. I disagree with their fiscal views, but they obviously have valid, reasoned ideas.

I only wish we could find someone with a similar temperament, good ideas, and a backbone to run on the Democratic side.
