Re: OT: r - I thought you should see this

You guys take this election much to seriously.

I don't see much difference between any of the candidates regardless
of the party or their affiliations.

It is odd to see the Democrats turn against Hillary, and the same
machine that made the Clinton duo media darlings practically ignore
her and her husband. Somehow they fell out of fashion with the press
and now it appears that the fourth estate has anointed Obama the heir
apparent.

After realizing how ineffective, lazy, self serving and sanctimonious
The House and The Senate are, I quit worrying as much as I used to.
It was just a year ago that my conservative friends were in tears
because the Dems were declaring that they "took back America" and the
first 100 days of their control would see sweeping changes to our laws
and country.

To date, the report of their changes is nil. Even with the most
unpopular president in history, they can't muster enough votes in
their own party faithful to pass significant legislation.

As for Bush, he is no conservative. I don't know what he aspires to,
or how he decided party affiliation. Even without the war budget, I
read that he has vetoed any piece of legislation that has spending
attached to it if it doesn't have unrelated crap attached. Money
flows from his hands like water.

McCain used to be considered a moderate Democrat. Now he is a
Republican lefty. And take a look at Schwarzenegger; now fully
embraced by Dems, but increasingly rejected by Republicans because he
is driving up the debt of the state beyond the capability of paying
off even part of it by championing his own social programs, while
taking away from those he doesn't like.

I too have noticed the winds of change blowing around Hillary. I
don't know why, as the Republicans haven't had much to do with it at
all. They aren't sure who they are fighting for the Pres job, and
with the Dems starting to hammer on each other, they don't have to do
much at this time. I can't see where Hillary's message or politics
have changed, so I am left to guess that Obama became the favorite of
the press behind closed doors somewhere, for some reason.

In the end though, I don't know that any of it matters. I will go to
work, pay my taxes, and get up the next day and do it again. The
politicians don't, and have not represented me in so long I don't
remember.

For those that can't sleep at night because of the political climate
(from which ever way the wind blows- left to right, right to left), I
feel bad for you. I was like you once... no more.

I sure did think if Rob though when I saw that pic. I though it was
funny.

Some of the folks around here are just as old, cranky and mean as any
of the denizens here, you just don't see it because you are on the
other side of the fence.

Lighten up.

Robert
