Sometimes I wonder ... don't you?

I'm not making any claim here, nor do I necessarily believe elections in the US are fixed, but ... many things do make me wonder.

On the Republican side ... it's hard to believe John McCain actually won the primaries to become the Republican candidate for 2008.  Why?  People who go out and vote in primaries are generally very politically motivated people.  Think about it ... these are people who go out and vote merely to support a candidate, not to actually put someone in office.  In other words, these are not constitutional votes, but simply party votes.  This is THE BASE!

In comparison to the other Republican candidates who campaigned in the primaries, John ...

jesse-jackson-n-word-for-me-but-not-for-theeGood 'ole Jesse Jackson ... the man who LOVES to tell people how to live, what to do ... attack people and sometimes ruin their careers ... is the very definition of "do as I say, not as I do."  This "man of God" has lived a very scandalous life.  Off the top of my head, he's:

Well, I found a politician who does understand, at least some things.  His name is President George W. Bush.

The following is from the Q&A session that followed the President's Press Conference on July 15, 2008 with a few of my own comments thrown in.  Any text highlighted was done by me.

Who is this guy? Really ... who is Barack Obama?

We know he's a young guy, just 45 years old with only 2 years of federal government experience.  We know he's a prodigy of the Chicago Political Machine.  We know he supports socialist government programs and wants to increase the federal governments rule over our lives.  We know he says he's all about CHANGE, but what does that mean?

Maybe he's talking about what will be left in your pocket ... after YOU're done PAYing taxes for all his new, expensive socialist programs ... nothing but CHANGE.

Harvard boy Obama started his speedy political climb with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN).  ...

I'm back ... finally! I ran into a MAJOR computer malfunction 10 days ago, and I'm too stubborn to give up trying to cure it myself.  Well ... I DID IT!!!

Jessica_SimpsonSince it's been so long since my last post, I thought I'd come back with a "news" story about Jessica Simpson and PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).  I know this has already been through the press and forgotten, but hey, it's a great excuse to post a picture of Jessica! :-)

PETA, who's president Ingrid Newkirk claims "A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy", now plans ...
