Debates & Headlines

Greetings everyone, and welcome to this edition of the Hawks Press. It’s been an action-packed two weeks in the political arena and there’s much to be discussed, which I’ll try to run through today.
First thing I want to talk about is the Republican Presidential debates. If you watched both debates, it was rather easy to tell the difference between the one on MSNBC and Fox News. Even between the types of questions MSNBC asked the Democrats were extremely different from the ones they asked the Republican candidates. Did Tom from Minnesota ask Barak Obama the difference between a Sunni and a Shia muslim? (Could Obama have answered it like Rudy?) There’s no question that the Fox News debate was more reasonable, covered more topics, and didn’t pick on certain candidates. It didn’t try to give all of the glory to one candidate, and it didn’t put certain candidates in an unnecessary pickle.
Also from the Fox News debate, I believe many would agree that Rudy Guiliani killed any chance Ron Paul may or may not of had at getting the Primary Nomination. Rudy was very strong on what he is strong in: National Defense. He is always the first to tell you the many success he had as New York City Mayor and how defense needs an even higher priority to prevent others from going through what he went through.
Another headline that caught my eye was of Jimmy Carter’s remarks attacking Bush, even worse than previous statements from himself and other members of his party. Jimmy Carter called President Bush the worst President in History. To be fair, though, he was talking with regards to foreign policy. I guess Jimmy Carter forgot he was, at one time, President, as well.
To make a quick brush with some other things, the Democrat-controlled Congress failed to cut off war funds. Pro-American Nicolas Sarkozy won the French Presidential election, despite the feeling that a liberal transition was imminent. The Senate has drafted a bipartisan Immigration Reform bill, that may or may not grant the current illegals Amnesty, depending on who you ask. Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats are yet again wanting to waste more of our tax-payers money by wasting time on a vote of No-Confidence on Attorney General Alberto Gonzales because of a constitutional right of the President to appoint and dismiss U.S. Attorney at his pleasure.
And, surprisingly, that’s not all that’s happened these past weeks.
