That might as well be the slogan for every candidate: always right. In that sense, Bhutto's assassination changes nothing on the trail. At this late stage, it only confirms the core convictions of everyone hunting for caucusgoers in the Iowa snow.

    Fred Thompson made the best and most presidential sounding statements about Ms Brutto's assassination and was interviewed on several TV news shows afterward. Usually he is overlooked by the media. Please take a few minutes to watch this video http://fredfile.fred08.com/blog/2007/video-freds-message-to-iowa-voters/ and see thr real Fred Thompson!

    Everyone of you is so annoying. Clinton simply said she met the woman several times over the years. She didn't say they were best girlfriends. And as far as Barack Obama bringing peace, I vaguely remember a comment he made a few months ago about how he wanted to INVADE Pakistan. Because all we would need is another war on our hands. The Obama camp is making me sick and showing how ugly our system is. Axelrod today tried to connect Hillary with being responsible for Bhutto's death. That woman had more respect and appreciation for democracy then most of the candidates running in this election. Pakistan didn't only lose a leader, but three children lost a mother. Americans don't see that and that's why Pakistan hates us so.

    Very simple. Ron Paul doesn't fit the propaganda CNN is supposed to uphold for these various puppets running for office. All this terror scare has been created for the purpose of continuing to vote in one of these backers for those who are really in charge. Ron Paul, as much as I'd like to see him get elected, doesn't have a chance and the media knows it.
