My Name is Kris and I Blah-g

~*’*~ WAVING ~*’*~Someone in Washington D.C. is currently reading my blog. I just wanted to say “hey, howzit goin”? If you happen to know Joe-Bama, tell ‘em to get off their butts and get back to the work they were elected to do, ok? If Mr. Obama has any trouble figuring out the Yes/No buttons on the ol’ voting thingy, I am sure that Senator McCain will be happy to show him how it works.

This morning I feel much like I do the morning after watching my team lose in the super bowl – deflated. It’s apparent now more than ever that we’ll be calling Obama “president-elect” come November 5th and it’s not because he’s some guy with great ideas and experience to make him capable of being the leader of the greatest country on earth but because he and his people have successfully pulled the wool over the eyes of millions of trained monkeys. Last night we got to see 80,000 of them literally go ape-*!$@# over the man. It was mesmerizing to watch and scary all at the same time. Bit by bit I see individuality fading all in the name of equality. A friend from work said it best yesterday…the liberals have a gift for pointing out the have’s and have nots. They will show you the man with the nice car and tell you that in order to be equal to the man, we must take away the car. What kind of nonsense is this? Wouldn’t it be better to help the one’s without try to attain the car themselves? The message isn’t about building people up but about tearing down the people who have managed to achieve their dreams and goals. It’s pathetic and sad. This whole process has been a big manipulation. And I fear that before long many of us will be as unrecognizable as those thousands of Chinese folks in the Olympics ceremonies – moving in unison, regimented and pissing in diapers.McCain isn’t helping my anxiety. He’s not my choice and I have vowed not to vote for him unless he can pick a running mate that is capable of being president. Because let’s face it, McCain is old and he can kick the bucket at any time. We need a guy who can be prez. This year, more than any other the choice for VP is most important. I suppose Obama thinks he’ll live a while because why else would he pick Biden?::: Shudder :::Word is that the choice isn’t Pawlenty (I’m sure he’s a nice guy, but WHO is he?) and the choice isn’t Romney (bad move, dude). Could McCain pick the obligatory woman Veep? Because if it’s not Romney who is what the party wants, then their only hope is a woman but I just don’t see it helping much. I hope I am wrong. But I doubt it. I am rarely wrong. So, McCain will do a big “screw you” to the base and well, it doesn’t matter because in 4 years he’ll be a fossil and we can finally get it right and get Romney on the ticket. You know as I speculate about all of this, it is apparent that perhaps our only hope are the Clintons. *GASP*! Think about it…they have begrudgenly “accepted” Obama as their guy but everything they say is through gritted teeth. There is nothing genuine about their acceptance and I wouldn’t put it past them to covertly do something to make sure that Obama is not elected so Hillary can save the party in 2012. Wouldn’t that be something?So, you may ask me, why pay attention this stuff at all? Call it political masochism. It’s like the wreck on the side of the road that you can’t help but bring yourself to slow down and look at. And I do this every four years. I love torturing myself!!! So, I will keep a wary eye out. I’ll remember my standards and I won’t lower them to jump on the Obama bandwagon. Things are gonna get a whole lot worse before they get better and it’s going to take a few clear headed folks to pull all the monkeys out of the ashes.

The other evening I was discussing the upcoming election with Mom and Dad. We were speculating on running mates and what a bafoon Joe Biden is and what a moronic choice he’d be for Veep (more on that later). When in the midst of our ranting, Michaela came in the room and said with a lot of passion for an almost-6 year old, “There are people that want to kill babies! I think babies should LIVE!” Yikes. Where’d that come from? So, it’s apparent that this little apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…Back to Biden…UGH! At first thought, I think that Obama is totally out of his mind if he picks this outspoken yahoo as his running mate. Biden has had diarrhea of the mouth for the past 8 years, if not more (so long as there was a Republican in office). The only worse choice would be Clinton but I think Obama realizes that if he chose her, his life would be in extreme danger. Yeah, she wants the presidency that bad. Then on 2nd thought, I think that choice could bode well for the Republicans because Biden is so dang unlikeable. He’s hardly “dream team” material. And given the fact that service time wise, he’s got a huge leg up on Obama (he’s served for decades vs 140 days in Obama’s case), he could just as soon be accused of being the puppet master to Obama’s strings. Hey, they did it to Cheney. Turn about is fair play. Since Obama clearly tanked last Saturday during the Saddleback Church thing, he’s in trouble. He’s pulling out all the stops – graying his hair to give a more distinguished appearance (frankly, to me he looks ridiculous), pandering to whatever audience he’s in front of, etc. I know, I know..he’s a politician. It’s what they do. And I am far from a McCain supporter but I’ll give it to him. He’ll at least tell it like it is. Whether or not I agree with him, I haven’t really heard him waffle on an issue.So, McCain has an opportunity here. If Obama picks Biden, McCain can shore things up with some of us on the fence about him by picking someone a little more right than he is of center. But rumblings lately have him doing exactly opposite and if he does that I can’t see my vote going to him. We’re screwed either way.

I have to really wonder what it is that has got people in such a tizzy over Barack Obama. Their devotion is almost as scary as he is. These people know virtually nothing about the man yet they are so willing to blindly follow him. I am not a McCain supporter by any stretch of the imagination but one thing I will never do is vote for this person who claims to be the source of America’s salvation. When I think of other moments in history where people have been led astray by someone claiming to be something they’re not, only disaster follows. Hitler had people in a tizzy too.  I have to ask these Obama supporters what it is about this person that will allow them to put their faith in him? Say what you will about previous democratic candidates (Kerry, Bill Clinton, Edwards, etc), they at least had some experience behind them when they sought the highest office. He’s one scary dude, folks. And he really thinks a lot of himself. Check out this great ad:
