If there ever was topic for discussing freedom of speech or what is accepted as a proper response between opposing forces on this planet, the Iranian President’s attendance at Columbia University certainly fits. Polarizing opinions, outrage, indifference and a broad mixture of undefined responses fill the media this day. So what is one to make of all this?
Who knows what Columbia University’s real motives were for inviting Iran’s President to speak. At least a couple of reports indicate the expressed reason was to allow differing points of view. It seems when the person speaking in public is extremely notorious for holding beliefs or values others find deplorable or equally disturbing, the standards or principles guiding the public view are withdrawn. That is to say people allow other people to speak or express themselves as long as that person does not exceed certain limits.
Certainly everyone is entitled to their opinion and The Wall Street Journal is no exception. This being the third reference for this post is a reminder that as stated earlier the mixture of opinions is quite varied although most have an obvious negative reaction to that guy from Iran that everyone loves to hate.
From his business acumen to his personal success to his dogged determination and discipline, Mitt Romney may be the only candidate to honestly focus on the big picture and chronic dysfunction in Washington that appeals to voters seeking real solutions. While the headline below from the WSJ reads that Romney is trying to show voters he gets it is reasonable it may be more accurate to say voters are being attracted to his common sense approach. Fans of opposing candidates cling to earlier criticism that Romney changes positions on the issues. That may simply be a case of sour grapes that their preferred candidate is unwilling or incapable of listening to the voters and acting on it.
Giuliani is often characterized as America’s mayor and relying on his legacy in NY related to 9/11. His stand on social issues is a concern for some and the campaign season is raising more questions and concerns over his days as mayor and what is real or imagined. Fred Thompson finally entered the race recently and after an expected initial bump in the numbers he seems to be placing much faith in surviving the early states and taking the South. John McCain has been all over the charts but the military and Washington veteran is enjoying some increased popularity lately.
the work of gathering the information in a duplication of effort.
There are many clean up the GOP references above and many Romney related posts on this blog and one of the most recent may have been the most compelling and on point to mention here. Mitt Romney submitted an open letter the GOP and voiced the need for the party to clean up their act and that much of what needs to be done will take both parties. Although most people, candidates or voters, may have had this thought also it has been largely missing in action during the 2008 campaign. Mostly the state of GOP politics has been the favorite weapon of 
everyone on the left for criticizing the GOP and deflecting criticism from the Democratic party. With Congressional ratings where they are, the deflection part has been a failure. And even with recent victories for the GOP minority in Congress the status quo needs work. Remember that Mitt Romney was the first or only one to engage that issue in the campaign for 2008 and it just may have staying power. Meaning the idea is long overdue and been mentioned before but can-do Romney may be the only one to see it through.
