Hillary Clinton - Panderer. What else is there to say? Why is it that people in this country seem to think that the best people for the Presidency are those that have been there before? Wake up people.

Barak Obama - Wus. I think Barak Obama seems like a smart guy, a nice guy, but I will be honest, he reminds me of John Kerry. He is not willing to call people out when he disagrees with them or thinks they are full of crap (see candidate above), either because he is afraid, he wants to partner up if he doesn’t get the nomination, or he is listening to his consultants who tell him that people don’t like confrontation.

Joe Biden - Well, this is a guy who seems to say all of the right things all of the time. I actually like a lot of what Biden has to say most of the time. The problem is that he seems to change his tune to whatever is most popular at the time. Sorry Joe.

For the record, I have to say that I knew things had changed dramatically in the United States when I found myself agreeing with Pat Buchanan almost 100%. The time has come for people to start talking about all of our citizens as Americans, not Republicans or Democrats. Keep up the good work, keep pressing people, and interrupting them if you feel the need. My wife also got a big kick out of the show your wife hosted.

But, the real point of this post is to give a 2 second explanation why George W. Bush will never say we are leaving Iraq (while he is President).  It is simple really, he doesn’t have to.  No matter what Congress or the American public does to him and what is left of his honor, it will never get worse for him.  We have been told that we were going to Iraq for one reason, then another and that has turned into something different.  Martha Stewart, who I have no love for, went to jail for lying to federal prosecutors about a stock trade that netted her less than a month’s salary.  However, lying every day about why we sent 130,000 troops to Iraq (that has cost us hundreds of billions of dollars) is ok.  Strange.  George Bush will never pull our troops out of Iraq because he can only climb out of the hole he has dug himself into.  The vast majority of Americans want our troops out of Iraq.  However, Congress can really only do two things to stand in his way and my bet is, they don’t do either.  If they did, Bush and Co. would simply use their ace in the whole.  Should Congress do something drastic, they would get blamed for breaking their program and then they in turn would own the war in Iraq…not Bush (even though that would simply not be the case).
1) They cut off funding for the war in Iraq.  This can be spun any number of ways by George Bush and Co. and will pretty easily mobilize the people that wanted to elect this man to a second term as President to rally behind him. At the end of the day, Congress would cave and we would simply be further down the line (like we are today) wondering when we will get our boys and girls home with all of their appendages and minds intact.

2) They impeach the President. You can apparently get impeached for lying about getting a BJ from some wacked out intern in the White House, but not for why you sent 130,000 troops to invade another country.  While this makes a lot of sense (sarcasm for those of you too retarded to figure that out), it won’t happen because then Congress owns the war. Bush and Co. would simply be able to say we were starting to turn the tide over there and then Congress kicked us out. They broke it, they own it.

So, boys and girls. I am afraid that unless someone who has some sack stands up and gets in the face of the insanity that we have been living in, I am afraid that we will simply have more of the same for a long time.

1. If you are not for increasing the number of troops in Iraq, you do not support the troops. Comedy.
2. Whatever George Bush did to get all of his mini-me’s to repeat everything he said, should be bottled and dropped in bomb over Bagdhad.
3. I believe more than ever that we need short term limits on every public office from Mayor to President. Don’t think so? Look at the people that have been “serving” our country for so many years. There are some real patriots, however most are in it for #1.
4. We need real citizens to run for office and everyone in this country to vote every time there is any kind of election. The United States is a Republic, which means we have a representative form of government. We need mainstream people running this country that represent the majority of the country…not the fringes. Left, right, top, or bottom, the fringes have taken control of public offices and policies. It is unfotunate that mainstream people will not run for office and when they do, they don’t have a shot at winning. Time to take back the country and bring back responsibility.
5. We seem to be getting closer and closer to a police state. I am not an alarmist or some kind of conspiracy theorist. But, I get more scared about how things are run in this country every day I read a paper, watch the news or speak to friends work in law enforcement and the law profession.
6. I almost forgot this one. IF you are a politician and you do something pretty bad; something that could potentially end your political career…go to rehab.

Politicians, Politics, Republic

Well, I am sick of it. Here is the short and skinny. IF creating a democracy in Iraq (since that is what they have seemed to have settled on as the reason we went there) is something that is vital to OUR nation’s security (forget the nonsense about what the Iraqi people “want” supposedly), then let’s do what every general, the Baker-Hamilton commission, and sensible person thinks and let’s have a draft and get the other 250,000 troops we need to do that thing right into Iraq. Otherwise, congress needs to do one of the two things that they are able to do here. One, cut the funding allowing the President to use the power they gave him/give him to wage war.  Two, impeach him AND Cheney.  There is nothing else they have power to do. Clearly the President doesn’t give a rat’s ass about what anyone else in this country thinks. I am not sure why that doesn’t incense people like it does me.

This is a Republic…a representative form of government. It would be nice to see some goddamned representation already.
