Should we wallow in sexual and religious irrelevancies?

tim | Everything... | Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

 Candy,I don’t know why people enjoy wallowing in the gutter of sexual and religious

innuendo.  Private sex lives and religious beliefs have no part in politics.  But
I guess some people never moved beyond gossip and negativity. 

We need to end this war, restore constitutional integrity, and rebuild what these
thugs have destroyed.  Then we can move forward with the peoples’ business. 
(And the obsessed busybodies can buy scandal sheets, listen to Limbaugh, or stew
 in their own juices.  We have too much at stake to invest time in this drivel.)

Clinton, McCain, and Obama are the only candidates.  
McCain is not able.  No experience running a country, state, or business.
Knows little about economics or world affairs.  No platform.
 
Clinton has some good ideas, and some not so good.  Her campaign has

been poorly organized and dipping into negativity has cost her.  With the
wrong choice of a VP, she could lose the election.  With the right choice,

she would still have a tough time beating McCain and Condi.  Her voting

record is barely different than McCain’s, and her endoresement of the
“argument that our invasion and occupation of Iraq was “worth 500
thousand childrens’ lives” does not ring true.  She made a mistake supporting
this war for nearly eight years, and like sociopathic George, Hillary cannot
seem to bring herself to recognize and admit an error.  Not a good sign.

Obama has inspired a generation to civic-engagement.  His charismatic

presence and intellectual calibre are powerful considerations. His platform
is thoughtful, considered, and specific.  We need him at this critical time.
He is an anomoly.  There are no other candidates with his innate leadership
skills.  He may be more conservative than more liberal elements might prefer,

but he is an honest man, has more experience than Clinton or McCain, and

can restore our image at home and abroad while rebuilding what these thugs

have torn asunder.  

Obama and any number of VP possibilities can provide a viable and verifiable
alternative to the Cain/McBush proscription for military adventurism and trickle-
down “noblesse oblige,” where the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the
middle class drowns in the bathtub…   We can do better.
