Obama 08

I know. I did say no politics but I just couldn't resist. I am voting for Senator Obama.


Well, it's official. At 11:59 last night, right here in the eastern sector of our wounded Republic the last nail was firmly driven into any aspiration that the Republican candidate could bail any of his party's collective asses out of the morass of nonsensical misrepresentations and lies that have characterized the last several weeks of this campaign. Party platform, Party base and Party occupying the top slot of this current regime, it is now completely transparent that their endgame lacks any form of middle. For those of us who occupy that unique placement in society and failed to hear John McCain mention 'middle class' at all last night, the new word to occupy thinking for the next twenty days will be have to be LANDSLIDE.

With forced smiles, fidgety looking gestures and a recitation of stock litany aimed squarely at the rabid republican right, John McCain blinked continuously as he failed one last time to address substantive proposals for either reasonable or definitive solutions to any problem facing the average voter. I for one am disappointed. As a lifelong generally conservative (small 'c') Republican leaning constituent I really wanted to hear the John McCain who campaigned nine years ago and this tired, worn out co-opted version of 2008, failed all of us. Unresponsive and dripping lipstick by the bucket load, any hopes for the Republican economic pig appear to be officially dead.

One good note, I do see where Hank Williams jr. has written music for the McCain campaign. I just never knew it was him who wrote the Dies Irae. Way to go Hank !
