Inauguration Day Message

I remember thinking in the early 1990s, “Will we ever see a woman President?”  Today we are seeing the inauguration of our 44th president, Barack (yes, Hussein) Obama.  I’m adding his middle name for all of our ultra- neo- conservatives out there (and also the Fox News junkies).  This is a momentous occasion which we [...]

19 Voicemails

Well, well, well.  We are finally in the home stretch of this arduous presidential campaign.  I received five  voicemails this weekend alone from the McCain/Palin camp and/or the Republican National Committee (RNC).  Pre-weekend tally: ten.  That’s fifteen so far.  What about the other four?  Today.  Today alone I recieved five voicemails, four from the RNC [...]

One reason…

Well folks, it’s coming down to the wire.  There is one more presidential debate tonight and I thought I’d share with you just one reason why I don’t like Barack Obama.  I will preface this by saying that I am a lifelong Democrat and will probably vote for him so that more of [...]

Soon to be Former Democrat

I no longer wish to be a member of the Democratic party.  Jason Cable wishes to be, as the State of Pennsylvania calls it, a member of the “No affiliation” party.  Most places would call this being an Independent.  Because Pennsylvania has closed primaries, I will not be able to vote in our primary elections.  [...]

McCain and Obama

This week the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) decided to endorse Barack Obama and vilify John McCain.  Neither decision is all that surprising.  I will say right up front that I do not financially support the HRC.  I think they do some great work, but I choose to support smaller LGBT organizations.  Below are some links [...]

Why should I vote for Obama?

Okay, how do I put this?  Please, some Independent stand up and run for President.  The Democratic National Committee and national news media have made Barack Obama the presumptive presidential nominee.  Let’s face some facts:

Hillary Clinton has (arguably) won the popular vote. (It’s damn near 50/50)
The Senators have only 120 delegates separating them this minute out of about 2,100. [...]

Not Ready Yet

With today’s decision by the Democratic National Committee’s Rules Committee’s decision on Michigan’s and Florida’s votes I am as some could say, quite dismayed.  Howard Ickes’ comments sum up my opinion on the topic.  The votes of those primary voters in Michigan were not counted toward what and whom they voted for.  It was a disgusting [...]

The Race of Politics

For the first time in American politics we have a woman and an African-American in the running.  It’s ugly out there and I’m not talking about attack ads.  I am talking about the racial divide.  No one last night on CNN had balls enough to answer the question posed by Lou Dobbs about race helping to [...]

In what order should we try to fix our lives through government?  My answer may surprise you…  Who or what should YOU elect?
