First, we hang all the politicians

I can't believe the choices (and I use that word very loosely) we are being given in our upcoming Presidential election!

Mr. Obama; a greenhorn youngster with chronic hyper-idealistic syndrome accompanied by acute inflammation of the ego. This kid has the disfigurement indigenous to the typical politician; a forked tongue hidden behind a disarmingly charming smile.

Senator McCain; makes a loud and long point regarding his opponents lack of experience, then brings in a woman with the experience of all of one or two years to step into his shoes as President should anything happen to the codger. Why? Because she is wise in the world of management? Because she has been around the world and dealt with foreign leaders? I think not. It might be because she agrees with him, or maybe because he wants all those voters who thought Hillary Clinton would have been the better choice. In my opinion, Senator McCain made a huge and unforgivable mistake with his choice of running mate. He underestimated the intelligence of his voting public and the power of the Google search engine.

I don't have anything against a black man or woman in the White House. I'd use the term "African-American" but it does not apply to Mr. Obama. (That's another blog...) As long as the person has the credentials, the experience, and the balls to do the job right, I don't care if he/she is sky-blue pink with purple polka dots! But that is a big if. I don't think Mr. Obama applies.

I don't have anything against a woman in the White House. In fact, I look forward to having a woman running this country. As long as the person has the credentials, the experience, and the um, well ..., OK, intestinal fortitude to do the job right. You get the picture. But I don't want a woman lurking behind the curtain, fiddling with the levers and knobs and one particular red button! Particularly not one who plays on the emotions of families in distress ( "you'll have a friend in the government" quote by Palin to the families of disabled children), who talks green and spends millions on more drilling, more hunting and fishing and other forms of destruction of the last of our unblemished homeland.

The icing on the cake is that neither one of them, or their V.P. pics can keep their idle promises anyway... not without Congress and the House behind them. And we've seen how well THAT works in the past eight years. Besides, they are all politicians... what do they really know about how to manage the United House of America?

Me? I think I'll vote for Dave.
