OMG! a couple of weeks ago, I became ill with the use of the word “change”. I thought that it could not get any worse than everyone and his handler was on the bandwagon for change in Washington. The strange part was there was gonna be change in Washington no matter who won. But the only change was going to be the face of the President. Other than that–don’t count on it!

But wait! just when it was safe to listen to the candidates again–there has been a change! From day one is the new buzz phrase. Absolutely EVERYONE will be ready to be president “from day one”. Please stop!

They might want to lay off the buzz crap and address specifics of their platforms. “From day one” is oh so cute, but it addresses NOTHING! I realize I am dreaming that we actually get specifics, but that is what I am looking for in my candidate. Bumper stickers, slogans and buzz words do nothing to tell the people where the change will come or just what they will be doing on “day one”.

If the voter is easily impressed with mindless crap like this thing, then they deserve the incompetent bozos that will be elected.

Peace! Out!

OMG! What a crock of steaming manure! The media is billed the Democratic race on Super Tuesday as a free for all. I wish I could see it. To me, a free for all is when there are multiple contests and they all go at it to be the winner. On the Dem side there are two candidates. And there is not much difference between them, only race and gender separates the two candidates. Where is the free for all?

The media has done its very best to eliminate the multiple candidates and have it down to the two. So again, where is the free for all? The media has wanted a race/gender war from the beginning. That way issues are secondary; the people will go to the polls and vote in a popularity contest. Or at best a beauty contest.

History will be made when the nominee is selected. But the only history will be that of a woman or a black man wins the nomination. As far as history goes and especially the change; if I were you I would not hold my breath. At what point was a two person contest ever a free for all? As usual the media is doing all it can to make your decisions for you. That is not the horrible part. The horrible part is–you are allowing them to do so.

Enjoy your decision while you can, for it will not be long lasting.

I apologize for being late with my assessment of the Congress this month. There has been so much crap flying around that it was on the back burner.

My scorecard is done monthly and the scoring is a positive step for the Congress will be forward, negative will be a backwards step and then if there is nothing really to report it will be a no step. January was a short month thanks to the holidays.

Last year the Congress took 4 steps backwards. Not exactly what they were sent to Washington to accomplish. We can only hope that ’08 will be a better year or will it?

Scorecard for Jan ’08

1–Work on steroid abuse–backward–a waste of time people

2–Pelosi gets house cafeteria menu changed–no step–yet another waste of time

3–Health care veto on hold–backward

4–Response to The missing CIA tapes–forward

5–the FISA Bill–backward

6–the move on the economic stimilus plan–forward–only because that they are working together to try an help the American people.

That is about all they did in the month of January and if you are counting, the congress took 2 steps backwards. And it looks like the trend will continue for ’08. God help us!

Today is the day! The Big Show! The ……..well you pick an adjective……voters today will go to their respective voting location and make their choices for the nominee of both parties. The people will be part of the process. Stop!

Today the voters in the Dem primaries have to choose between a black man and a woman….the choice will be made on that alone. Why? Look at their positions on the issues….both are the same with some minor differences here and there. Any real choice has been eliminated…mostly thanks to the efforts of the media to marginalize any candidate that had a “real” agenda and left the voter with an agenda that is similar. So in the Dem primaries I suggest that a flip of the coin would be a better way to make your choice. At the end of the day, no one will be a shoo in and it will continue past Feb 05 in a search for delegates. It is just a shame that it has boiled down to a personality contest. Good luck, Dems.

Moving on to the Repubs. Here you have a choice between a fake business man, a vet and a preacher. At least these guys have real differences in their approaches to Washington and personally, I think this made their run for the nomination more interesting. IMO, at the end of the day, one will be out front and almost a shoo in for the nomination. I think one candidate will drop out and another, which could drop out, will continue just to get a delegate count. But by Feb 06, the nominee will mostly likely be known.

Please, go vote, if you think that your vote will make a difference and afterwards you feel good about what you did, then by all means, go vote.

To all Godd Luch and Good hunting!
