Comments on: Cartoon of the week - 12/16 http://foodpluspolitics.com/2007/12/16/cartoon-of-the-week-1216/ A lot of chatter about food ( plus a little about politics ) Wed, 07 Jan 2009 16:58:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: ellaella http://foodpluspolitics.com/2007/12/16/cartoon-of-the-week-1216/#comment-855 ellaella Sun, 16 Dec 2007 23:04:42 +0000 http://foodpluspolitics.com/2007/12/16/cartoon-of-the-week-1216/#comment-855 I am probably a cynic, but I don't think politicans will ever stop playing to the crowd, especially since the crowds are focus groups now. And to the victor goes the spoils and the bully pulpit .. ;) I am probably a cynic, but I don’t think politicans will ever stop playing to the crowd, especially since the crowds are focus groups now.

And to the victor goes the spoils and the bully pulpit .. ;)

But they won't because the common thought driving all of this talk about religion, immigration, healthcare, and drugs is to buy the voters not with real solutions but with popular ones. It is why Hillary stumbled over the license plates. She wasn't sure what the voters in that area wanted to hear. Meanwhile, all I got from Romney's speech was a reminder that just like Bush before him, he will do exactly as he pleases if he becomes the president. It's not a new idea, hell, presidents have been doing it since before Andrew Jackson. Yes, it's one nation under god, all right. As long as we realize that the god they are talking about is themselves in power.
