big stick & bigger mouth

damnit! i'm really tired of politicians who think they have to prove how tough they are by talking tough.

our political discourse has become dominated by bigmouths and bullies.

it seems either nobody recalls the teddy roosevelt line "speak softly and carry a big stick" anymore or they don't know what it means.

i just watched part of kdka's casey-santorum debate, and if it wasn't for the party difference i'm not sure i'd be able to choose between them even tho i thought casey came off better in their meet the press debate.

casey apparently buys into bush's axis of evil pitch and only objects to the fact that we attacked the weakest member of the axis first.

sheesh!

i still want to get rid of santorum and the gop leadership, but i'm not so sure i want to keep casey in the senate more than one term.
