I come from a family of straight ticket voters. Heck, my Uncle's name is Woodrow Wilson and my Dad named after FDR. But nowadays we can't do that. In my opinion declaring oneself as Dem. or Rep. means little. The parties have lost contact with their roots and some of the branches these days are so far away from the tree that I wonder what tree they come from, if any. Maybe they're floating branches, is that case, that's bad news. I too am missing the vibe. I might get a good vibe about a person, but like I say, what people do and who people are are two completely different things and need separating, especially in politics. <BR/>Abby, I say you vie for O'Reilly's job. I'd rather listen to you than him.Kleanteethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12390125053421635742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397389843609525219.post-38544712481222500032008-02-16T14:29:00.000-05:002008-02-16T14:29:00.000-05:00Hate is such a strong word.And you're right. In t...Hate is such a strong word.<BR/><BR/>And you're right. In this race, I am beside myself. I have yet to find anyone who fits what I'm looking for in a president. Just when I think I'm on to something, the person in question blows it for me and comes up woefully inadquate for the job. I'm tired of selecting the lesser of two evils. For once I want to be excited about a candidate and I have yet to feel that way about a single person in this race. It bothers me to no small degree. I will not vote for a man simply because we share a party. Such a practice advertises a voter's apathy towards the political system; he might as well just stay home and save us the trouble. When it comes to president, I don't care which party he belongs to as long as he will point the country in the right direction and look out for the best interests of its citizens, not just those who voted for him. A lot goes into finding a man like that, and I just ain't gettin' the vibe yet.Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11024012133951388516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397389843609525219.post-5010018669774865882008-02-16T00:53:00.000-05:002008-02-16T00:53:00.000-05:00Abby, Everytime I read a blog about your political...Abby, Everytime I read a blog about your political views, I wonder what your views are. It doesn't seem you really like anyone. I must admit that I am one step above ignorant on most political things. However I am definately right of center, but you intrigue me because I never know what/who you will hate.Justin and Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05158042218054402230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397389843609525219.post-89647312596297303242008-02-15T17:15:00.000-05:002008-02-15T17:15:00.000-05:00I think you're one of two people, Ryann, (me being...I think you're one of two people, Ryann, (me being the other) that truly appreciates my political commentary. I think I'd get fired, especially after I insulted a guest or two's lineage. Thanks for the kind words though.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I can't put my finger on why McCain has morphed into a creepy man recently, either. I used to LOVE him. Now I feel a bit...suspicious of him I guess. At best. At worst, I think we're making a huge mistake. And it's not even the obvious stuff like his status quo-like approach to immigration--it's something more subtle. Like a feeling like he's Jekyll and Hyde, but we haven't seen the Hyde part yet. It's a tad unsettling. We'll have to be on our toes with this one.<BR/><BR/>And good point on the Obama thing. He can call you an idiot with such diplomacy and tact so that you thank him for it afterwards. Might be a nice change of pace after the thoroughly tactless Bush.<BR/><BR/>Hey Misty, that link says it's broken. I'll trust that it was funny. As for my professors (I'll have to write an entry about them one day), they would call me a communist. These are the sort of people who think Glenn Beck is the most brilliant pundit in the media, just because he's far right AND a Mormon (kinda like Romney was the best candidate of all time). Sheesh, every time I hear that guy I want to scream at the TV. Even O'Reilly, who I think is kinda funny (intentionally or not), doesn't rile me as much as that damn fool does. I need to go calm down now.Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11024012133951388516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397389843609525219.post-62888281240291562242008-02-14T21:31:00.000-05:002008-02-14T21:31:00.000-05:00If your professors could see you now, they'd be so...If your professors could see you now, they'd be so pleased! You retained some of your college learnins!<BR/><BR/>And I will do anything I can to keep Bill from running around the White House without anything to do. I mean, holy crap, look at the trouble he got himself into when he was busy!<BR/><BR/>And I don't believe I've ever seen/heard you use the word douchebag before. It made me snort, and think of this site:<BR/><BR/>http://arabianmonkey.com/doclothesmakeyouadouchebag.htmlnpiqfecAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07596143138029769371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397389843609525219.post-24286071194221812842008-02-14T21:17:00.000-05:002008-02-14T21:17:00.000-05:00I agree that Hillary vs. McCain would pull Rep. ou...I agree that Hillary vs. McCain would pull Rep. out in droves. I find myself liking Obama too. I think he has charisma and he's wittingly subtle. He'll disagree with you in the same sentence he praises you and you end up with a smile. I guess that's called diplomatic. <BR/>Bill has similar qualities, if we can remember back to his earlier presidency years. For a douchebag, he had high public opinion and he was re-elected fairly easily. But now, something is lost, anytime a Clinton opens his/her mouth I just noise. Something about McCain I don't like, though. Can't put my finger on it.Kleanteethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12390125053421635742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397389843609525219.post-79173465298995782772008-02-14T20:13:00.000-05:002008-02-14T20:13:00.000-05:00Abby you completely nailed my feelings about Bill ...Abby you completely nailed my feelings about Bill and Hillary. I would go out and actively work against them if she were to win the nomination. It amazes me how on the money you are.
