Primary Dilemmas by Thomas Sowell @ Townhall.com

In Thomas Sowell’s Primary Dilemmas at Townhall.com, Mr Sowell confirms my belief that there really is not very many good candidates running in either party. How you might say? Read his reply to the following question:

What is wrong with this year’s candidates?

The short answer is that most of the Republicans are questionable and all three leading Democrats are dangerous.

It is a dilemma we as voters are facing.  Mr Sowell shares information about several of the choices we have currently today.  Please consider reading  this piece.

In fact, Mr Sowell confirms why I cannot trust electing another Clinton to the office of the Presidency by sharing a history lesson of the first Clinton presidency:

While Barack Obama and John Edwards have been irresponsible demagogues, the Clintons have a record of lawless and ruthless corruption that goes back not only to their White House days in the 1990s but even back to their time in the governors’ mansion in Arkansas.

Nor is this simply a matter of domestic politics. It was Bill Clinton who ignored the advice of military and intelligence officials when he gave China the technology that can be used to enable their nuclear missiles to hit American cities.

It was Bill Clinton who gave the North Koreans help on their nuclear program in exchange for promises that have — predictably — proved worthless. This was just one of the dangerous problems that he swept under the rug and left for his successor.

People like this are not to be trusted with the highest office in the land in an era when Iran is moving toward nuclear weapons that can easily be turned over to international terrorists.

Now, this is something the MM will not tell us about the Clinton years. He does talk about the Republican candidates, too. But, regardless of your party affiliation, Mr Sowell’s comment on what we should do must be taken by everyone:

The stakes are too high to do anything other than select the best person available, even if none of the candidates seems ideal.

Sitting out, it is not a good option.
