Obama or McCain or…

I’ve been wanting to write some of my thoughts on all this political mess for sometime. I ran across this blog and could only read a couple of posts before my eyes were starting to stick the top of my head so I had to move on and hope the taste of the puke in my mouth could be combated with a fruit roll-up.

This election is so crappy I don’t even know where to begin. So instead of trying to monologue a bunch of bologna that isn’t going to change anybody’s mind, I’m just going to make a list of some of the thoughts i’ve had the past several weeks.

1. McCain is a coward (UPDATE: not coward in the heroic soldier sense…only as a politician running for president)
2. Obama is a puppet master (and probably a puppet himself)
3. Sarah Palin was a brilliant choice for campaign salvation
4. I don’t want a women president and i don’t care if that sounds chauvinistic
5. I’d rather have a statesman than a politician to choose from this November…but i guess i’m not that blessed
6. We’ve been weaning people off welfare for over a decade now down below 2,000,000 people. Whya re we wanting to jump-start it all over again by giving money to people who aren’t working to earn it?
7. If the race was between the VP candidates, it would be much more interesting
8. Joe Biden’s speech at his VP nomination was my favorite but I wonder how much of what he said they can/will actually do/be able to do
9. Poor old Joe the Plumber. The guy might as well change the name of his business and his last name cause he’ll never be known as anything else.
10. Wonder how Obama can be president but couldn’t be his own secret service agent because of his past associations
11. What exactly is a maverick…yeah…not seeing the rebellion or independent thinking
12. Will Biden continue to undercut his running mate with foot-in-the-mouth comments after the election…especially if they win?
13. “Caribou Barbie” is one thing…”Sarah Palin is a c$^@” is probably over the line. Pretty sure anybody wearing a shirt at a protest rally that said “Obama is a n@%#$&” would probably be considered inappropriate.
14. Anytime McCain says something intelligent, he looks like he is reading from notes he wrote listening to talk radio trying to get a good defensive strategy.
15. Socialism? If the election goes the way the polls say it will, we can say hello to a fairness indoctrinated egalitarian society
16. Presidential campaigns are good for SNL…it hasn’t been this good in a while
17. Trying to come up with a list of good things the Bush admin has done right has helped me realize…that list is really short
18. The Howard Stern “man on the street” interviews are very telling.
19. How is it if McCain is so against earmarks he voted for a $700 billion bailout package that was full of them? And now that the bailout numbers are up to about $2 trillion, which candidate is going to stop the snowball?
20. If Barack wins, he is either going to prove so many people wrong and do great things, or he is going to prove a whole lot of other people wrong and really mess up the America of our forfathers. Either way, 50% of this country is going to be happy…and that is the scariest part.
