I told you so

Just check my old blogs..... I told you that the fun was about to begin when it came to this presidential election...months and months ago. And the fun continues. I happen to be with Bill a little when he made the comments that tended to indicate that those that can't handle the heat have no business entering politics at all. (Many of you know I'm not a Clinton fan but EVEN I have been a bit shocked at the 'friends' that have jumped ship on that power couple.) My thoughts are random, but hey, they are my own.

McCain? AND I'M A DIE HARD REPUBLICAN...what can this say?? He actually has his moments with me but I find that most often, I'm just not sure about him. While I don't expect him to tow any line when it comes to being a conservative...that info on being ready to change over to the Democrats in 2001 was a bit unsettling. AND wanting to be the running mate of John Kerry?? "Reporting for dooty" :)

Obama? He's so smooth that when he talks it's like when Smokey sings. After I recover from the moment and really examine some of what he is saying....especially the defense of Rev. Wright stuff....I find I'm not as enchanted. I want to be fair though. He says things in his speech that I applaud and understand and agree with....on a level as white Christian that many would not even relate to. Having grown up in a Pentecostal church I've heard WHITE ministers condemn America in strong terms but I also knew that it was a heated sermon and they deeply loved America. That kind of preaching is supposed to unsettle you but it's also supposed to move you to change and look at your own short comings....Wrights speech seemed to instead work toward creating a whine fest. I not ready to make a call but I will say.... WOW when I see the video of Wright I can't stop thinking that if Hillary wants to win...she needs to KEEP making sure those videos are shown.

Hillary? Will we get two for the price of one again?? DO we get a discount since in a sense we've already had her and she's old merchandise? And wow, did I hear Chelsea right....she believes her mother will be a better president than her father. Poor Dad. I wonder if that hurt a little. EVEN his own damn daughter is shakey on her loyalty. Couldn't she say, "Let's just say that I think my father did an amazing job as President (she'll need to say this without cracking up) and my mother will add to the legacy of superior performance for our country"? Hillary can make me very mad but in some ways I'm admiring her spirit and the invisible gonads she possesses.

THIS is looking to be a GREAT, and FUN, and Emotional, and Intense and educational and exciting election, folks. And I knew it was coming.

Next time lets discuss.....the democrats and their troubles with racism.
