Haley Barbour is a politician positioning himself to run for president in 2012.
I recommend to anyone who wants to know what a lousy governor Haley Barbour is (i.e., p@nders to Big Business at the expense of tending to the People and their needs, which in Mississippi these days is about basic survival needs), go see Spike Lee's 'If G0d Is Willing And Da Creek Don't Rise'.
What Spike Lee presents about Barbour isn't unique to Republicans; DLC-controlled Democratic politicians govern in the same way. Both parties do everything the same way, only they've given it different names. When Bill Clinton was pilloried for accepting donations from the Chinese, the media neglected to report as widely that Republicans were doing it, too -- As head of the RNC, Haley Barbour was sitting in a junque in Hong Kong harbor taking money from the Chinese, too.
And in the interest of fairness, if you want your eyes opened about Ed Rendell, governor of Pennsylvania, go see 'The Art Of The Steal'.
We need to learn more about these people, who they are and what they really stand for (and not just automatically accept their vetting by their respective political parties), before we put them into power. Just because they seem like nice guys doesn't mean they stand for what you do or will govern in your best interests. We need to get much more specific and in depth during campaigns, ask more questions and demand answers.
