Why should I vote for Obama?

June 3rd, 2008 6 Comments

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

May 31st, 2008 2 Comments

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 [...]

Lou Dobbs, Hypocrite

February 7th, 2008 1 Comment

This life-long Democrat really loves the ideas and thoughts by one of CNN’s most outspoken show hosts, Lou Dobbs, the life-long Republican turned Independent.  Lou’s ideas on illegal immigration, Chinese proliferation, our failing school systems, and much more are tough, pragmatic, common-sense, and pro-American. Unfortunately, I think he’s a lousy, no good hypocrite.  Tonight I [...]

Just one more Kennedy endorsement…

February 4th, 2008 No Comments

I know I’ve been going all political lately. If you don’t like it, don’t read. If I hear of one more Kennedy family endorsement of a Democratic political candidate, I will scream. So, as it stands: Caroline Kennedy-Schlosberg, Ted Kennedy, and Maria Kennedy-Shriver-Schwarzenegger for Obama; Bobby Kennedy’s three children for Clinton. [...]

“The Debate” that BLEW me away

January 31st, 2008 No Comments

Actually, tonight’s debate on CNN was more like who was blowing who off and on.  There wasn’t much of a debate.  The political pundits all were saying that this would be an explosive confrontation between Senators Clinton and Obama. They were, as usual, WRONG.  To me, Hillary presented herself wonderfully.  It’s hard to find any [...]

Democrats Debate

January 21st, 2008 1 Comment

Thirty (30) seconds: (n., phrase) 1. a timespan marked by the count of the fundamental common measure of time, the second, thirty times. 2. half of one minute. 3. (Presidential candidate definition) time to say whatever you want to say and sling mud at other candidates and get off-topic.
Someone, please tell these candidates to shut [...]

Revamping Primary Elections

January 7th, 2008 1 Comment

Ok, what does a queer kid from PA know about the US election system?  The answer: more than you probably do.  It seems to me that all this pandering about the Iowa Caucus “results” is helping to sway voters on their way to legitimate elections, primaries.  In this free democracy of ours, we’ve established that [...]
