Townhall Meetup, Spet. 2007
Townhall meetup was sparely attended, probably due to the close proximately to the long weekend and people still off doing summer things. Even with only some ten people there, we had some good discussions on current events.
Pretty much all of the current issues in the news were touched on, including Norman Hsu, the major Democratic backer who has been a fugitive from justice for some 15 years and how all of the Dems he has supported are now having to distance themselves from Hsu and his money. Kind of reminds me of the Abromoff (spell?) scandal last year.
A round robin survey of who people like of the various candidates seems to have Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter as two of the favorites. General agreement is that Hunter would also make one heckuva V.P. Huckabee is still well liked and there was also mention of Obama and Giuliani.
Obama is interesting to talk about as the hard-left keep claiming that his race will play a role in his electability, as well as his name being Islamic (Obama is a Christian). So far, form what I have seen, it’s only the Dems and the hard-left that are making an agenda out of those minor points. It’s where he stands on the issues (he is and out-of-closet Marxist, while Hillary is Marxist in sheep’s clothing) that will defeat him.
Quite frankly, I rather hope Obama tops Hillary in the primaries. I don’t know if he can do it, but I hope he pulls it off. He is far more beatable on the issues because he is so blatantly far-left. He is also not as smart or Machiavellian as Hillary, so even if he were to be President, I don’t think he could do as much damage to this country as Hillary.
All of it depends on who is selected to move forward by the GOP and who the running mates for both parties will be.
It was a splattering of topics and a good time.
