Wow! So the Democrats already have two fairly popular and well known candidates who are hinting VERY HARD about their intentions to run for president in 2008. Both would be firsts, if they receive the nod from the democratic party. Both would be a total disaster for the democratic party, if they receive the nod from the democratic party.
Who are these two "destined to lose badly" politico's?
Well the first and most known for her intentions to throw her hat (or perhaps we should say "bonnet") into the ring is Hilary R. Clinton, yes, the Junior senator from New York.
While she may be a very good senator (I'm just speculating here, I'm honestly too dang tired to really reasearch this subject), she has one major factor that would instantly leave her in a distant second in a presidential race.
What is this quality of hers that would be so career ending? She's Bill Clintons wife. There, I said it.
Sure, I think that for the most part Bill did an ok job as president, nothing fantastic (cept nailing that intern, way to go Bill!), just as he didn't do anything to outstandingly stupid (cept getting caught and lying about nailing that intern....dumbass). The problem with her being Bills wife is that America for the most part is done with the whole Clinton era, and quite frankly I believe that the majority of this country is terrified of Hillary. I don't think people really know why they are terrified of her, we just know we should be.
Now, you will no doubt bash me for saying a woman doesn't stand a chance to get elected. To you I would say "hogwash!" I truly think a woman could and SHOULD get elected to the presidency, I just think that Hillary is the wrong woman to try and get into that position. Unless, She were running against Katherine Harris (you remember her, the election official {i forget her former title, like I said, I'm too damn tired to give a big enough shit to go look} from Florida that was instrumental in getting Dubya "appointed" to the presidency by the supreme court). However, due to her complete and total public fuck up with the "00" election, I would venture to say it's safe she stands about as much chance as getting nominated as say....me.
The next presidential hopefull, or so it would seem, at least right now, is Barrack Obama (yes, I no doubt spelled his name wrong, fuck you and your nit-picking). He is one of the senators from Illinois. What makes him so special? Well, he's only been a senator for the United States Senate for two years now, so he's pretty "fresh meat" in the political world. The biggest reason he is the wrong choice at the moment (and I am no doubt going to be labeled a "biggot" or "racist" or "dick" for this remark, however, it is no reflection of my thoughts on his or any other race, if you will remember from past blogs, I am not selective in whom I hate, I hate EVERYBODY.) is that fact that he is black, now before you jump me for this, consider this:
The majority of the voting public in this country are white people, mostly religious white people, mostly religious white people with deep hidden hatred of anybody that isn't a white religious voting person in this country. I would say you could be pretty damn sure that those scared, bible thumping, hypocritical white people that somehow were given voting rights, would rally around (granted it would be a very discreet rally, the kind of rally that only white people would attend, and possibly they would attend incognito, perhaps in sheets) to prevent Mr.Obama from becoming their leader.
Personally, I'm all for a black man, or a woman, or hell, a black woman being elected to the presidency. I think that anyone who aspires to hold that position is no doubt a douchebag, but hey, maybe a woman, or a black man, or a jewish black woman would do a better job, or perhaps...just maybe, a fantatastic job at leading this country.
The biggest problems I see with these two canidates right now, is really just this;
Both are no doubt capable and willing leaders, however they are two people that are going to further divide this country into a "us v. them" mentality. That is the last damn thing we need to happen right now, especially considering how close we are to tearing each other apart right now. Just imagine the hatred that would rear its ugly head if we had either of these two people running.
So, in conclusion, I suggest to the democrats, that you need to go out and find a candidate that is going to unify, bring together, get us all to stand hand in hand and sing songs of love and peace....ok, fuck that, but lets find a person, be it man, woman, black, white or whatever that can bring people together again, and feel confident in his or her leadership capabilities.

p.s. please don't hate over this...it's just a thought I had.
p.s.s. Barack Obama may just stand a chance if he can get all the mexicans out to vote. Again, tho, thats just my thought at the moment, so don't hate.
I write stuff here, and this allows you to read stuff here. This means we have a symbiotic relationship.
Lucky us!

Ignorance, or just plain deception?
Sorry that so many of my blogs have been political in nature as of late, it's not my intention, it's just hard for me not to comment when there is so much "shit" going on around us in this world, and so much being shoved into our brains. It seem like if we get this kind of crap repeated to us enough, we may actually begin to believe it. Well, I for one try to come to my own conclusions about things, but it's not always easy, here is why.
Yesterday I was listening to Micheal Savage on the radio. This isn't someone I listen too very often, but he was really laying into what a bunch of pussies the republicans have become, due to the supposedly impending doomed election they are heading into. I found this to be entertaining and quite comical. I say that because this guy has names for everyone, in fact, from what I can tell, most of these talk show people don't really report or discuss anything of substance any more, they just bash the opposing party, and in this guy's case, his own party as well.
Now, I hear these people bashing on the "drive by media" all of the time, but in reality they aren't much better. Take this little story for example.
Yestday this Savage fellow was going off on CNN and one of their reporters, Micheal Ware. He was playing a video clip on the air, or at least the audio portion of it. This video clip had Micheal Ware on there walking you thru what was happening, and translating what the camera man was saying as well as the sniper (if you would like to see the video go here, the video is about a third of the way down the page on the left under "video's"). Well, Mr.Savage was ranting and raving how President Bush should be having everyone at CNN arrested that had anything to do with this, as well as Mr.Ware being arrested on treason for being embeded with the enemy.
Yes, thats right, Mr.Savage continued to beat into his listeners heads that this Micheal Ware is a traitor for being imbeded with the enemy.
Just as I was ready to turn off the car, a listener called in to question Mr.Savage about his rantings. The caller simply asked, or stated one thing, "Don't you think that CNN just obtained this video, and Micheal Ware is just translating?"
For a moment there was just dead air, something you don't really want on radio, then Mr.Savage replied with this "I have no Comment on that."
Seems like the kind of thing a lying politician or corrupt official would answer when they know they are fucked.
Well, I did a little research myself this morning, something which I doubt most people do anymore, I'm pretty sure that the majority of the sheep in this country just listen to these people and take what they have to say as completely true and honest, and are relying that the research has been done and mistakes are not being made, which in turn creates huge lies and misconceptions. It is a viscious cycle. Anyhow, as it turns out, this was nothing more than a translation by Micheal Ware.
So, I encourage everyone out here in reader land to PLEASE not just take for granted what you hear to be truth, go out and determine for yourselves what is fact and what is fiction. Because in this day and age, there are plenty of resources to find answers, albeit they may not be the answer you are looking for, but if you dig hard enough, you should be able to make an informed decision for yourself.
