2008 Primaries/Caucus — Bull

Jump to Comments

Good grief!  I’m so sick of this election cycle, and it’s just started.  First, let me say this … I am making no distinction between the primaries and caucus process in this post.  I don’t have time and if you don’t know the difference you shouldn’t vote.

I don’t know that I have a lot of time to blog what I want to blog.  Classes have begun again, I’m trying to redesign my professional Web page, I have a couple small contracts and I’m still freelance writing.  So every minute I’m not focused on something that will potentially get me some money I feel guilty.  <sigh>  But, here are a few things:

I’m sorry, but there is no real choice in this election, but then, there hasn’t been for a few decades.  Obama, in my opinion, is a shooting star.  He’ll burn-out soon.  He’s a fad, a flash in the pan.  I like the idea of a young, fresh-face, but he doesnt’ have the skills. He’s a handsome man with a good-looking family.  He has a relatively commanding style and a good view of life from the bottom up.  As a man of mixed race parents (like any of us are truly pure-blood) I know he’s had to endure some hardships associated with it.  Even today, in the year 2008, multi-racial children have a hard way to go.  And that’s a DAMN shame!  The stupidity of racism just blows my mind.  But you need more than that to be President.  Plus, I’m on the other side of the fence from him politically.

Hillary — Oh good god!  She’s about as new and fresh as that seven year old cat out back that drops three litters of kittens every year.  That photo that was circulated a few weeks ago, showing all her wrinkles, it was mean.  Well, maybe it was, but worse photos have been created with software such as PhotoShop and circulated on just about every President and most politicians.  That’s part of the game and her people and supporters need to get over it.  She shouldn’t be held to a special standard because she’s female.  In fact, if she was serious, she’d stop all the girlie crap.  She’d suck it up and act like a leader, not a crybaby.

What?  She’s just showing her ‘human side’ you say.  I say BS!  Is she going to cry in front of the United Nations?  Is she going to cry when Ahmedenijad wags his finger and calls her “just a woman and of no significance in the world.” 

 Oh, I misunderstand, she’s just “tired.”  BS I say again!  We’ve had Presidents with polio who didn’t cry in front of the world.  JFK dealt with excruciating back pain and stood in front of the media without crying.  I’m pretty sure they were tired also.  And if she’s tired this early she doesnt’ need to be our President.

People claim she’s a strong independent woman.  Double BS I say.  She hasn’t lived on her own.  She hasn’t tried to raise a couple kids without a man in the picture.  And when her man started dallying around she turned her head instead of kicking the bum to the curb where he belonged.  She’s no example of a great and strong woman, she an example of a coat rider, a throw-back.  She’s not like Mary Tyler-Moore, she didn’t make it on her own.  She IS like Tammy Wynette, standing by her man through that great right-winged conspiracy that wasn’t and the extra-marital affair addicted man she is married to. 

Change — right.  The change she’s about is the change that constitutes income redistribution by the government. 

If I had to choose between the two I’d pick Obama in a heartbeat.  But only because there is no other viable option on that side.

 Gotta go.
