[Fredda Weinberg]

14. Short and sweet

Sounds like he's running again, don't he?

[babylonsister]

and experienced than anyone I've seen lately.

[Fredda Weinberg]

8. "Secrecy, avoidance of the law, and cluelessness at the top" -

9. You know you have a problem when Brownie looks like the competent member."

Brownie is the metaphor for the entire administration.

11. It goes without saying, the man is intelligent.

but he is very enjoyable and amusing to listen to, when in a relaxed setting.

"Tell the truth to Americans, and tell the truth all the time" (something like that)

[Greeby]

10. "Bring Our Troops Home" is #5?

Umm, John, that oughta be #1

[babylonsister]

12. You have to get rid of the corrupt admin first, I suspect is what he's

thinking.

Edit to add:

Pinpoints worth fighting for in a nutshell:

1. Obey law, protect civil rights.
2. Tell the truth.
3. Fire the incompetents.
4. Chase the moneylenders and changers from temple of democracy.
5. Bring our troops home!
6. Find OBL and protect ports.
7. Stop stabilizing big oil and blaming people. Commit to alternatives.
8. Make access to healthcare affordable as America's right.
9. Reduce deficit (conservative!) Respect work over wealth.
10. Fight for American jobs.

13. Yes, but you cant do it without having 1 to 4. Actually, you cant do

anything without 1 to 4

1. Obey law, protect civil rights.
2. Tell the truth.
3. Fire the incompetents.
4. Chase the moneylenders and changers from temple of democracy.

[IndianaGreen]

15. What did you guys think about his comment about values?

I thought he was spot-on without being preachy or sounding phony.

[babylonsister]

17. I think he was spot-on about everything! I have faith he will

be ramming his pinpoints home if/when he chooses to run. As he said in an article recently, he learned a lot from being in the fray before.
