Sorry, Michelle

I don’t disagree often with Michelle Malkin, but she’s wrong to call for Fred Thompson’s campaign to take a stand on Terry Schiavo.

It’s not that it isn’t an important issue. It’s that it has nothing at all to do with being president. A couple of elections ago when Pony Tail Boy asked the candidates to speak as his “parents” I wanted at least one candidate to say, “I’m not running for dad, son.”

This is yet another reason why I say the Democrats ruined presidential elections by making it a direct vote. The original plan where the Electoral College represented the states and acted as an executive search committee was much better, and would avoid all this pandering and yacking about things that are simply not the federal government’s job, let alone the president’s.
