Land of Oz

President

This year's election is the pits. My original plan was to vote Democratic. However, I live in Michigan and the Democrats decided that Michigan voters don't really count. That got me to thinking why should I vote for a party that has already decided to abandon us Michigan voters? That leaves the Republicans (let's face it, we don't have a multi-party system). That party's leader has gotten so Big Brother thinking, that they downright scare me. Can McCain be better - or will he continue the police state we're working up to. After all, he has said he sees the war going on for another hundred years.

Even if the Democrats hadn't abandoned us, these two candidates are scary. One compares herself to a war-story telling combat vet - that not only pisses me off, it disgusts me. Sniper fire indeed. Before that, there's just something about her, that bothers me. I can't really put my finger on it, but there's no way I'd vote for her. It's not that she's a woman, I did vote for Ferraro in '84. And being Clinton doesn't bother me, I did vote for her sometimes husband.

The other Democrat bothers me as well. As much as I hate to say it, I'm sure race has something to do with that. Ever since leaving the USAF and moving into Saginaw, my racial outlook has been deteriorating amidst shootings, drug deals and arsons. But that's not all it is. The fact that Obama can follow a hate-preaching, anti-American preacher for twenty years and then dump him once the preacher becomes a vote hindrance really bothers me. Do I believe Obama's past twenty years of belief, or his past twenty weeks. I'm not too pleased with Obama's choice of realtors either.

On a practical side, I don't think he has much in the way of political or life experience. Granted, the current President shows you don't need much knowledge to be president, but I'm hoping for a change to something better.

There you have it. The three current candidates; none of whom I'm really forward to as the leader of our country. Maybe I'll just move to Taiwan with my wife under President Ma.
