  • So is anybody else besides me sick and damn fucking tired of hearing about Jeremiah Wright? Furthermore I think I have grown weary of the whole Democratic primary race. But back to Wright, is there any way Obama can have this guy fucking killed? He just won't shut the fuck up already. Honestly, I really believe at this point that he wants Obama to lose. Seriously. Why else would he keep saying the shit he is saying. The ironic part though is that for over 200 years blacks have waited for a viable black candidate that had an honest and actual chance to win an election. For years we have heard that if a black person came close to being president a racist white person would kill him or her. Herein lies the irony. Ultimately, this black candidate who we have waited so many years for is going to be taken down by another black man. Honestly, I'd hate to say it, but the way things stand right now, I firmly believe that the Democrats have no chance to win the election. If you think they do than that's great and all but I think you might have your head in the sand or might be in denial. Let's not forget a few things. First of all, the Republicans are evil, pure fucking evil. The will stop at nothing to win an election. Also, never underestimate the stupidity of the American people. Need proof? Just look back at 2004, Bush put the bait out there that the false threat of gay marriage was worse than the real threat of terrorist or the problems in Iraq and the American people took the bait. Don't think for one second that America won't be dumb enough to fall for the Republicans shit again. Another reason is that the Democrats are stupid. Very very very stupid. As brilliantly evil the Republicans are the Democrats are just as incompetent and stupid. The Democrats are kind of like the Cubs of politics; they could blow a 3 games to 1 lead in a best of 7 series. And the Democrats had a very popular and electable candidate in Obama and they have fucked that up to the point where he probably has no chance at the nomination. A lot of that has to do with Wright. Some has to do with Obama. Some of it has to do with the calculating, conniving, cold hearted bitch Hillary Clinton. Some of it has to do with the gullibility of the American people. Either way, all of it adds up to a Democrat loss.

    Yes, I say the Democrats will lose if Hillary wins the nomination. She is too polarizing, especially after the way she has campaigned against Obama. And the Republicans have TONS of stuff they can use (most of it probably made up or embellished) to Swift Boat her. People have been calling for her to drop out. As much as I don't like her and probably will not vote for her against McCain (don't worry, I wouldn't vote for him either. If its the 2 of them than Libertarian and former Democrat Mike Gravel is my man), I never thought she should drop out. When you have campaigned this long and put this much of your blood, sweat, tears and money into a campaign and are this close, you don't quit. If she had lost Ohio, Texas or Pennsylvania, then one can make a strong argument that she was too far behind to stay in the race. But, the fact remains that she won all of them so why should she quit? That being said, she sure as hell doesn't need to do McCain's job for him. She shouldn't be saying things like she said a couple of months ago about how the only two candidates qualified to lead the country are herself and McCain.

    The other thing that is so damn frustrating is that this whole process is taking way too long. These two have been campaigning for well over a year. When its all said and done and one of them wins the nomination, they would have been campaigning against each other and their own party's candidate for probably a year and a half and only campaigning against McCain for what, four or 5 months at best. Does that make any sense? How can you spend that much time going against somebody in your own party and then have to turn around and either support them or ask for their support? Shouldn't they spend a year going against the Republican candidate? It doesn't make sense I tell you.

    I swear, I would never want to run for president. This whole thing is so exhausting and grueling for these candidates that I have to wonder about the sanity of any of them, especially knowing that the easy part is running and winning and the hard part doesn't even start until you take office. Honestly, you have to be at least a little bit nuts to want to be president. I know it comes with all sorts of power but at what cost?

  • You just wrote a very astute post, and I agree with a whole lot of it.  Bottom line: can a white man beat a black man?  can a white man beat a white woman?  I'm really afraid that's what it's going to come down to.  I voted for Hillary in the Florida non-primary, but I did so largely because of her age and experience.  That, plus I've got a wife, two daughters, and a grand-daughter.  But I also joined the NAACP in 1968, and I'd love to see a Black man as our president.  Plus, I just learned today that Obama's a smoker (as is Laura Bush, but I throw water on her smoker's closet).  There you go.  Nicotine, testicles, and dark skin.

    I will absolutely vote for Obama in the general election (if Floridians are allowed to vote, and if that vote will count, and if that vote won't be overturned by the 5-4 Catholic majority on the Supreme Court).  You've read my blog for a while now, and you know I'm very Catholic (albeit of the progressive variety), and I think it's a travesty that 5 of the 9 justices on the Supreme Court are Catholic.  Very conservative Catholics, except maybe Anthony Kennedy.  He might be a moderate.

    RYC: The temperature gets into the 20's (high 20's) for a couple of hours 2 or 3 times a year.  Not every year, but some years.  Then it warms up into the 60's by mid-morning the next day.  We had a "white Christmas" in something like 1976, and that's the last snow we've seen here.  My kids have seen snow where they've lived since they've grown up, but they only saw it once here.  My girls now live in Panama City and Atlanta, so they won't see much snow in the foreseeable future.  It's beautiful when it first happens, but OMG, what a pain in the ass after that.  

     

  • Yea, still no boyfriend.  Giuseppe is definitely my dog.  I'm not bitter.  Not really.

    Sort of.

  • Right on!

    I don't actually trust anyone who wants to be the president.
