Alright I'm relying on Ninjax's abilities (or lack of life) to think of a top 10. I'm really not the brain of the operation. I'm not sure I'm the brawn either but who really cares.
I am officially poll weary. I'm also officially poll addicted. This race is ridiculously close for a lot of people which is certainly understandable. In the real world (somewhere between marioland and candyland) there are some pretty high stakes. The polls however, I have decided are complete shit. Not that they might not end up being right. By all means a broken clock is right twice a day. A weather man can tell the world its raining outside. Ummm...The race is close. So to make it more interesting, it keeps blipping around!!! Up 2, down 1, the big O, I mean MO. Lets be honest here. Its all crap...Ninjax would say craptastic or such things but all the same, its useless. I suppose it makes everyone feel better about feeling the way they do.
I'm watching hardball yesterday and Chris Matthews has approximately a 2.3 second interview with Senator Kerry. Best part about it? They were both outside in chilly Philadelphia weather, and Kerry looked the grittiest I've seen him. Worst part of it? Same old 'sleeper hold' effect from Kerry's speaking.
I went through a few weeks ago, what I predict every Kerry supporter has gone through this year. I mean, is this guy for real? Not in a sarcastic sense, is he completely and seriously running for president thinking the world is just waiting for him to arrive? I mean does he think that a republican congress is going to do anything close to what he's promised? I'm sure Poland will be very quick to deliver thousands of troops. I mean HE FORGOT POLAND!!! Can he seriously think, with the economic mess we are in, healthcare is going to come rolling out the Whitehouse door and everyone will have the same healthcare "congressmen give themselves"? I'll give all these an understated probably not. So I have friends that say he is actually serious. Hmm.
All this goes away everytime I see the Pres. not acknowledging anything bad going on in Iraq, or handily screwing up the economy, or alienating our allies, or...I give up.
Ah well, it passed and apparently I didn't need the flu shot to keep myself from dying. At the end of the day, Kerry is a safer choice to lead us through the next four years. Why? Simply his view that America NEEDS help from the rest of the world in fighting terror, the war in Iraq, the 'global' economies (anyone know anything about the EU, and whether they have any impact what-so-ever? Yeah neither do anyone in the Bush administration). Kerry is going to be tougher with the Saudis, since there aren't any 'extracurricular' ties there. This is huge because they are this band of thugs that have been living under the US protective wing of wonderful happy times for too many years. I'm tired of them always getting left out of the freedom in the middle east talk. how many of the suicide bombers from 9/11 were Saudis? Ninjax, look that one up!
At the end of the day, a liberal politician, in a republican congress, who hasn't quite out grown his vietnam war wounds is a safer choice than a fortunate son who's six shooter always seems to have plenty more bullets, but no real aim.
This blog I do not expect to be totally politics, but since we are a week away, Ninjax and I will be sure litter this blog with politicy junk. enjoy.
