Have you been following
any of the Democratic race for the U.S. presidential nomination?
I'm sure Mr. McCain, a nice liberal Conservative, will make a fine president.
The race to become the democratic candidate is, in my not so humble opinion, nothing but a traveling medicine show to sell snake oil to the masses.
If McCain gets in, it will mean "more boots on the ground" in other words, an escalation to the travesty that is Iraq.
I will heave a sigh of relief with the smirking chimp is finally out of office. That said, I am not sure that any of the proposed replacements are going to make a helluva lot of difference.
Whoever takes over after Bushie will have a mess of epic proportions on his/her plate: an Economy rapidly sliding into recession thanks largely to greed, subprime loans; and a war that costs $10,000 per second that is all going on the slate, not to mention the cost in human lives.
And Bushie will just walk away....
There is a real shortage of justice in this world.
Yes, a serious shortage of justice. Clinton is vilified right and left (I'm not saying he should be looked up to as any kind of exemplar) for fooling around with an intern and lying about it, a relatively minor thing in comparison, and yet the little Bush is seen by so many in the U.S. as a hero for protecting 'their' oil and killing their own children (and the innocent men, women and children of an independent country).
