I'm personally not surprised that Paul would be 3rd after Edwards and
Obama since I'd seen before that I'm aligned with him on issues such as
the Patriot Act.

Of course, I feel spending needs to be increased since many bridges need
to be replaced since unlike many, I'm convinced that another Minneapolis
will occur unless we work on the infrastructure.

Similarly, something must be done about the electrical grid to prevent
another serious blackout.

Unfortunately, people prefer to engage in platitudes and sound bites
since bridges, highways and the electrical grid do not rouse voters like
abortion or immigration.

If the feds concentrated their efforts on the infrastructure and defense,
I wouldn't have a problem with them. Then again many infrastructure
issues could be handled just fine at the state level.

IAWTP.

I don't understand the idea that spending must be increased to address
infrastructure issues. If the Feds concentrated what they are
supposed to, you could cut taxes and we all could have are very own
bridges to nowhere.

I do view pollution as a potential tort though.

"All the rhetorical devices that have been a staple of identity
politics are now being exploited by the Clinton and Obama campaigns
against each other. They are competing to play the victim. They are
both accusing each other of insensitivity. They are both deliberately
misinterpreting each other's comments in order to somehow imply that
the other is morally retrograde."
