Bahahahahaha!!! May 16, 2008
see more politics and fun!
‘Kay, but seriously…
To be honest, I don’t pay too much attention to the political arena during primaries, especially when the candidate from my party that I’d intended on voting for (by “intended,” I mean that we were having our mail forwarded when primary absentee ballots went out and the U.S. Postal Service won’t foward federal mail, so we didn’t get to vote in the primary) - Fred Thompson - wasn’t elected. It was more or less a no-brainer that McCain would get pushed to the front of the stage.
But the Democrats…well…they’ve put on one hell of a show! Joke fodder has been endless, as has been my internal panic at the thought of either of them taking office.
I don’t want to turn this blog into a political soapbox for my beliefs, but goddammit, I’m scared. Universal health care?! Removing our troops from the middle east in a matter of 16 months?? We’d better pack our bags and head to France. They may have pulled out of the war but at least we know that when Al Qaeda thinks they’ve won because we’ve left, my family won’t be in the nation that’s getting attacked from the INSIDE.
*sigh* I feel better. Thanks for asking! Oh, and could someone notify HELL that it’s worn out its welcome here in Haytown? I’d really appreciate it.
As a responsible democrat I feel obligated to respond to this…(and I question when you became such a Republican, but that’s for a different time!) As funny as Republicans seem to think the democrats are, the GOP has picked a fine time to pick themselves a democrat candidate of their own!
Touche! You’re correct. My party did go about as middle-of-the-damn-road as they could, didn’t they? Bastards! It’s our best shot really. I’ll be the first to admit Bush has fumbled the ball a few times and not put the best face on the Republican party.
