ReplyDeleteLao,
Unfortunately none of this information seems to matter. The left of center Americans are wetting their panties over Obama. The progressives love his marxist platform (the 'empty suit' comment is inane, the man has a well written socialist agenda) and the rest are too ignorant to understand what he fully intends to accomplish; he looks and sounds good - makes them feel happy! Let's all become Canadians YEAH! *sarc*
I am flat out amazed that it looks like his nomination is imminent. That he's going to slam Hillary in Texas is mindboggling. I was convinced, and wrote, back in November that it was inconceivable that he would win the nomination. I really believed that none of this mattered - he flat out wouldn't be chosen. I do admit to feeling gleeful that Hillary is getting her ass handed to her, I've actually cackled when reading her low return numbers in the primaries. But Obama? No, that would be worse than Carter for America at this point in time.
I'm not a McCain fan, actually I dislike the man quite a bit - the Keating Five did it for me. He would have been my second to last choice after Huckabee on the GOP ticket, but I guess I'm stuck with voting for the lesser of two crap choices this time around.
At least the Clintons will go away somewhat - I despise those people.
*Nice to see you back writing, I always love your literate, witty and intelligent perspective on the world. Best wishes to you.
