MIMBARI'S VIEWPOINT:

WORD-UP:

The Sordid Facts From The Kentucky Primary Constituents!

I wanted to disbelieve what I saw when the constituents voted in West Virginia and Indiana. When they voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton, in the rural areas of those states. Tonight it has cemented the fact that RACE was INDEED a factor, that determined the landslide once again for Hillary Clinton in Kentucky.

What I fear the most though, is when (and I'm certain) that Barack Obama will get the nomination. Is that in the general election in November, the rural voters will also vote RACE.

Regardless of how Hillary Clinton asks them to think about the differences between the democrats and the republicans.

These are the SORDID facts that were evident from these states now!

WORD-UP:

The Maverick Flip Flopper!

John McCain has been perceived as the maverick senator, because of his singular attitude or approach to foreign policy, and other issues that republicans believe in.

However, most of his votes on funding, keeping the troops in Iraq, the surge, and hands off involvement with those nations and leaders that America feels are our enemies. Are simply the same policies of George W. Bush. Even the length of time to stay in Iraq is basically the same.

Now John McCain is telling the American people that if the president directly confers with so-called terrorist nations or leaders, is not good diplomatic policy for a US president to take.

But he is not telling the American people that Senator Barack Obama intends to talk with America's enemies, from the top leadership levels, after indicating to those leaders what America's position is, and allows them to agree or disagree, before getting personally involved.

That is the KEY difference to the status quo hitherto, that said "NO DIALOGUE WHATSOEVER" with our enemies by the president ever!

WORD-UP:

Ethanol As The Next Best Consumer Vehicle Fuel!

Sugar Cane, the grass that produces sugar in Brazil is producing ethanol for all of Brazil's motor vehicles. So that country is not importing any oil for internal consumption for years now.

Cuba, I suspect may consider the same method to springboard it's economy, under Raul Castro's leadership soon. Because Brazil is one of their principal trading allies and friend.

But The USA with all it's vast and potential growing areas to accommodate sugarcane, has not considered that method, as a way to combat it's dependence on foreign oil as yet.

Maybe some global oil crisis may nudge it some day in that direction. Until that scenario becomes a reality, the government will continue to talk the talk, but not walk the walk.
