FL & MI

Yet another thing that blows my mind... With all the reporting that's going into this story, and I just want to know who the people are that made the decision to hold thier primaries before they were allowed. If these people have not been forced into retirement it's an abomination of the democratic party considering one of thier main beefs with the Bush administration is the lack of 'accountability'.

This whole thing is a joke. If you ask me, the dufuses who made the decision should be fined enough money to pay for another state primary. If I can get fined for going 50 in a 40 zone these people should definately have to pay for wrecking a national election.

So when it comes down to it, we do have a choice. 4 more years of Bush, or 4 years of a new incompetant party.

For those of you out there who want change, just go out & buy a new shirt.

Think For Yourself (Or At Least Let Someone Intelligent Do It For You)

OK, it's taken a while to find another thing that bugs me, but I finally did it (and yes, it involves politics). It's commonly accepted that the economy is issue #1 in the upcoming U.S. election. Of course if you ask me it should always be issue #1, but most people don't mind being blissfully ignorant until oil hits 100 bucks a barrel.

So here's MY issue. We know the economy is #1. Hillary & Obama are pretty much neck & neck in the race (although Obama is looking to clinch the nomination). But, Hillary Clinton's campaign is $20M in debt! And she keeps lending money TO HERSELF! And she's performing solidly in the national polls? WHAT? The economy is issue #1, and we have a finalist (who is still performing very well) that can't even run a campaign without going into serious debt? And she's supposedly doing extreemly well with voters who say the economy is the biggest issue.

I'm no genius, but I'd think twice before I took financial advice from someone up to thier neck in credit card debt, so I sure as hell wouldn't want them running the country.....
