    Presidential Election Depression

    Sunday, May 25, 2008, 01:51 PM EST [The Curmudgeon Cogitates]

    Having watched the behavior of the Clintons and the Clinton Campaign for some while now, I can give the following bleak assessment of how I'm going to react this fall if the available choices to vote for are as follows:

    John McCain
    Bob Barr
    Ralph Nader
    Hillary Clinton

    Should this be the assortment, I'm feeling right now that for all the good it will do our country I might as well cast a write-in ballot for Vladimir Putin.

    As much as I don't want to try surviving through a "third term for Bush" neither do I want any "third term for Bill Clinton." But this is not the entire reason. It is the wholehearted way in which Hillary is willing to twist reality in order to suit her ambitions to rule over America. She is too willing to lie, and too unwilling to face facts (rather like BushCo, ain't it?) for me to be able to trust her with anything.

    And she doesn't really put me in mind of our FIRST Woman in the Presidency, as she has never come across as a "woman" to me, more as a Corporate Lawyer type with no gender, just greed and ambition for themselves. It's as if she has decided that the country OWES her the presidency, and she won't give up until it is delivered to her.

    I used to have some respect for John McCain, but he has flushed all of it away by the record of his behavior in support of the Bush Cabal's illegal war. Nader's just simply past it, in my view, and Barr has a political history which is simply a horrific nightmare for the Pagan population of the U.S.A.

    So dont tell me your going to vote for that snake Obama, come on man, he talks a good game, but look at his job record as Illinois senator, he has done some bad bad things there. Hillary has the guts to say and do what others wont, come on wake up and smell the coffee

    Ahhhh, name-calling -- that most irrefutable and unbeatable of all persuasive arguments. -- NOT

    And here I was thinking that the misapplication of proof-texting to current events and recent history was just a tool of the religious right, and their neo-con allies (or has that alliance broken down yet?).

    Hillary has had more than a simple share in various scandals which bring up many questions about her own ethics and personal values. That so many people are ready and willing to pretend that none of them exist at all, is in itself another sad commentary on the state of informed Democracy in the U.S. of A.
