As Salaamu `aleykum,

I don’t see any seriously honest candidate I respect other than Ron Paul. The national parties and media marginalize him in spite of his popularity, so he may not win, but without a bloc-vote why not make a statement?

The established “front runners”:

* Barack Hussein Obama: the devout Christian dark-horse candidate (with a Muslim name from the Kenyan father who left him in childhood) who is a wildcard
* Hillary Rodham Clinton: of Whitewater fame, a political machine and hawk on foreign policy
* Mitt Romney: Mormon (read “American Religion” by Harold Bloom) and a consummate politician (“Now, I am for.. no, *against* abortion”)
* John McCain: “You know that old song… ‘Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran!’ ha ha ha”
* Mike Huckabee: I actually kind of like him as a media personality, but his advisors are all CFR globalists

I don’t know if i made it clear… I would prefer Barak Obama (or even Ron paul and Hilary Clinton)…and I am not at all in favor of McCain’s hawkish stance. But I do support the republican base moving away from the talk radio propaganda that has constantly demonized Muslims and Muslim organizations. So i guess its not really McCain, but just the republican base going against the talking heads that makes me a little optomistic.

I agree with Amad on a pragmatic level. Senator McCain has been attacked by the far right-wing, both on blogs and on the air. Hannity, Rush, Mark Levin, LGF, Hugh Hewitt all cannot stand this guy. These are also the same guys who constantly bash muslims and support President Bush’s assault on liberties (not to mention numerous other crimes). So while McCain is a hawk, he is steadfastly against torture of detainees and also for the closure of Guantanomo. Obviously it still isn’t ideal, but it is progress. McCain also isn’t beholden to the far right-wing, which Mitt Romney is. McCain is not my first or second or even third choice. But I do view him winning these early delegates is a step for the Republicans in the right direction. You cannot change peoples prejudices overnight. The Republican base has been lied to by the talk radio/Glen Beck crowd for 8 years. By going against the talk radio crowd, the reublican party has at least moved a step closer towards getting America to where it should be.

Nader’s considering running again – wonder what would happen with a Ron Paul / Ralph Nader ticket?

I think we should support Barack Obama Hussein just to watch people get a kick out of watching the average American struggle to determine who their enemy is and who their President is.

Average American: Wait…. why is Saddam Hussein looking for Obama in Afghanistan? Or is it Obama? Whose on first?

Musa,

No records of any Brett Favre donations to political campaigns on a web search, but both his wife and brother gave to Mississippi blue dog democrat Congressman Gene Taylor (blue dog meaning conservative on social issues — he’s a pro life Catholic — Favre is Catholic too) so we can count him as a Dem unless you know otherwise.
