Amen to that, michaelr.

Leave it to the friggin' Democrats to decide this is the year to be all historic, while the country goes even further down the tubes.

I am so angry today, I can barely see straight, as they say.

My nephew, his wife, and their 18 month old daughter were evicted from their home because their speculator landlord walked away from the property and let it go into foreclosure.

This will result in his wife and baby having to move 200 miles away, to live with her mother, while they figure out what to do.

He is a paramedic for Children's Hospital in Chicago, and his family will be living for the forseeable future, in Madison, because they can't afford to go without the health insurance

What the fuck kind of country is this, anyway?

I'm still waiting to hear Obama or Clinton talk about families in these straights. It's all about "experience" and "unity" and "no more politics of the past" fucking platitudes, appealing to the idiot voters who want somebody who makes them feel good when they watch them on TV, instead of somebody who can do the damn work of dealing with this derailed train wreck we call the US of A.

Screw Obama, Edwards, and Clinton. If you don't start voting according to the interests of the nation, instead of the latest rock star politician, what the hell country do you think you are going to get, anyway?

And people bitch because I refuse to vote for any of these jerks?

And just to top it all off, I just finished watching the CSPAN Giuliani/McCain love fest. That really cheered me up, because I know that means the Republicans are quickly going to fall in line behind McCain, even if they hate him, because now they can start running against BOTH Clinton and Obama. The Republicans want to win.

The Democrats? Oh, they want to FEEL GOOD about their candidate. They want to be inspired. They want a magical historic minority candidate.

Sure, like that will turn the nation around.

God people, get a fucking grip. These candidates aren't going to fix anything, and honest to god, I don't even believe Obama could do a damn thing even if he were, by some miracle, to be elected. I mean the guy's credentials are he was a community organizer & a professional political candidate? Give me a break. This is who you want to be leader of the free world? Are you crazy?
