The election is just one week away…it seems like these candidates have been running since FDR left office.
You would think that these clowns would have run out of rocks to throw by now but noooooooooooooooooo……they just make things up…bend the truth and fire away.
Let’s see…..Who is a Muslim? (not true), who was born outside the US? (wrong), who0 is a BFF with an American terrorist? (not quite), who thinks that we should be in Iraq for the next 100 years? (nuh huh), who wants to turn this country into a Marxist dictatorship? (oh paleeeze), who spent $150,000 on her wardrobe? (nope), who is only now proud to be an American since her husband is running for president? (doubtful) and on and on and on. Very few Americans care about this stuff. We want to know…when will we be able to come home from the Iraq, when will the economy turn around, when will we be able to get a mortgage again, what will happen to our aging parents and how will they cope with the crisis of the cost of health care. When will unemployment go down and not up, what do we do about the energy crises (don’t get me started on this one).
See let’s get real here. John McCain and Barak Obama are both patriotic Americans who want the best for this country. The have different approaches…..very little of which will ever go into effect with the economic situation we’re in and the political climate we find ourselves in. Joe Biden and Sarah Palin….two very interesting characters. Sarah is a popular governor of a state with a very small population and small problems on the grand scale of things. Her state has a budget surplus thanks to the oil that can be found there. From all indications she is a great mom with old time conservative values. She is a very pretty woman that can get a crowd into the palm of her hand when she speaks but……….Vice President????
Joe…well what can I say about Joe Biden. He has never done anything but be a United States Senator being elected at the age of 29 (36 years). He has had a tough personal life but has, by all indications, risen above the tragedies that have befallen him. He is nice guy with a dazzling smile but (as one pundent put it) “has never had an unspoken thought”. He is quite frankly a loose cannon when it comes to his oratory skills. The thing about Joe is that what he says is true……not expedient……not smart politically…….but true none the less. Vice Presidential material …welllllll.
The bottom line is this……We have a very weak crop of candidates running…one of whom will be the president elect in a week. To hear the republicans tell it, Barak Obama will turn this country into a welfare state that will redistribute our wealth in line with the Marxist montra “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” and make us easy pickens for terrorists and terror states around the world. To hear the democrats tell it, John McCain will turn this country into a country with no soul that will leave the weakest of us in the street and our armies marching all over the world.
I think I’m gonna write in Mickey Mouse’s name, at least with him we’ll have a Magic Kingdom…….of course there is that questionable association with Donald Duck!!!
