Wow, has it been 2 weeks already? So much has happened and I feel like I have just been going with the flow and am becoming one of those mindless American voters that just wants this thing to be over already. I sit and listen to the TV ads, read the paper, and retreat to my own world when it comes to politics. Maybe it is the insanity of the Democratic Party, maybe it is the mind numbing voice of Barak Obama or the screeching (fingers on a chalkboard) voice of Hillary Clinton that has gotten to me lately and made me lose my edge, BUT......there is always a BUT, I am back and ready to take them on again. For the 2 or 3 people that actually read my blog, you might be happy or you might be saying, "oh here we go again", but you know something, it is my blog and I will write if I want to.
So here is where I am at. It is 2 weeks before the Indiana primary and I am trying to decide if I want to go against every moral fiber in my body, and if you have ever seen me and my build you know that there is enough fiber to go around, and mark Hillary's name to keep the insanity going. The biggest problem I see with that is the lack of sleep that I might get due to my conscience screaming at me in the middle of the night, "WHY....WHY....WHY!!??!!". Speaking of the Indiana primary, I thought the ads up to this point were bad, now that Pennsylvania is over, it is going to be horrible. Hillary will be here in a few days and Barak is touring the state also. Maybe we should go and hear them talk....NOT.....!
This whole primary thing is messed up. Think about how it works. First, they go state to state and plead and beg for votes with promises that they are never going to keep and stories that aren't even true. Then when they are done there and get their share of the delegates, they leave the state, never to return until it is time for another vote. Kind of shallow isn't it? But....remember there is always a but...., it doesn't stop there. They then start tallying the popular vote and start touting that to the media.....(shut up already Hillary). Finally when all is said and done, no matter what the outcome of those things are, they have come up with this idea of "super delegates". What are super delegates you ask? These are party big wigs that have the power to say, "the little guy doesn't know what he is talking about, let's nominate this person and who cares what the American people think". What in the world is that all about? No wonder they have so many problems. If you are a democrat, you might want to think about your state of mind and may start looking into some counseling..(j/k). But really, what planet do the leaders of your party live on? Or maybe they are just from France? I guess the bigger question is, if you are a democrat, why are you still reading my blog? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate it and all, but I would have to question if you are alright in the head?
I think that I have rambled enough for this one and probably should go and weigh my decision about voting for Hillary or not. Wow...my stomach turns just writing that. Thanks for hanging in there with this one and if you are a dem, let me know your thoughts on your primary process. My thoughts...........INSANE...........and "That's the way I see it...."

I want to keep my lunch money...do you?
So here we are, close to the primary in Pennsylavania and in Indiana. And here they are, the best that the Democrats can offer.....Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton. If this is the best that they can offer, maybe they should call France and ask for some relievers or some pinch hitters or something. The way that these two talk sounds like they were beat up by every bully in the school and didn't do anything about it but run away and hide. Let's take a look at what they want to do. Hold on a minute while I get my stack of soap boxes so that all can see me when I go on this rant. Please don't hold back your opinions either. Let me know what you think about all this when you are done.
1. Retreat and surrender. Need I say more. They have already said that we lost the war. They disrespect our military to no end which, by the way, burns my butt more than anything. They talk about how our soldiers go and die for nothing and that this whole thing was a mistake. These are the people that we (not me in particular) put into office? Are these really the people we want to run our country? Do we want a commander in chief that runs away when we are attacked? Do we want someone that just wants to keep talking to the bully, hoping that maybe someday he will stop taking our lunch money? Or do we want someone who is going to say that this is enough and we are not going to stand for this? I want to keep my lunch money because it comes in handy when I am hungry if you know what I mean.
2. TAXES.....do you want to pay "more" taxes? I don't know about anybody out there, but I can't even begin to fathom paying more to the government than I already do now. People are complaining about their mortgage, gas prices, food prices, health care costs, prescription medication,....etc., and here come the Dems saying that they are going to raise taxes to the tune of billions of dollars. How does that solve anything? I want to keep more of my money and decide where I want to put it. I don't want the government to take it and put in their pockets. Do you? Do you really think that they are really that much smarter than we are as to where our money goes?
3. Energy independence is a word that they like to throw around but have no idea what it means. I think that they are confused on the word independence and really want to say "energy dependence". Why else would they keep blocking drilling here in the U.S. for oil? I think they like to buy our oil from someplace else. I think they want us to be dependent on other countries. I think it goes back to the bully analogy where they don't want to stand up for themselves, they want to keep giving their lunch money away because they are scared. "Do you smell what I am cooking here?" They are no longer giving away their lunch money, they have found a way to give OURS away instead. Let's stop the insanity people.
The only way out of this economic and political crisis is to stand up and be heard. Get out and vote. Start drilling here at home...(trust me the Earth and all it's little creatures that God created will survive). Let's kick some Democratic butt this year and make our voices heard! If we don't do it now....it may be too late.....THAT'S THE WAY I SEE IT!

Clinton lied? Who would've guessed?
Hillary, Hillary, Hillary. What are you thinking? I guess the Clinton machine hasn't changed a bit. I don't know if you heard or not, but Hillary got caught in another lie today and I don't see how she can get over this one. She has been telling this story of a lady who died in a hospital because she was refused health care or something like that. She has been retelling and retelling this story and it is one of the foundations of her argument for universal health care. The problem is that it isn't true. It came out today that the family of the woman and the hospital that she was at called and asked Hillary to stop telling the story because it was not true. Wow! Can you believe it? The Clintons lying? Go figure. Don't you think that you would get the facts right about a story that you're telling before you campaign on it? To me that would make sense but I guess when you have been in Washington for this long and have been married to slick Willy for that many years, you can't tell the difference between what is real and what is fantasy. Maybe we should ask Hillary if she ever inhaled?
Ok, now on to the Republican Party. If anyone of you that are reading this I would strongly suggest that you contact your representative and maybe write them a letter or call them with these suggestions. Where in the world have the conservative republicans gone? What an opportunity they have right now to stand up and make their voices heard. The Democratic Party is in chaos and the republicans are sitting on their hands and doing nothing to take advantage of it. I say they talk about making the Bush tax cuts permanent, talk about energy independence, and talk about the immigration problem. But it seems to me that they are just content to sit back and take no stand and hope to get elected again so that they can keep their blinders on to what is going on in our country. GET A SPINE PEOPLE!!!!! Aren't they supposed to be there to voice the people's opinions? They always say, "the American people want......", but I have never been asked and there is nobody I know who has. Isn't that interesting. Where do they get these people that make up these so called "polls"?
Oh well, in a couple of years I will be eligible to run for president of the United States and then maybe all of you can complain about me. Just kidding. But have you ever wondered what would happen if a middle class person tried running for president with no money or without any experience. It would be interesting to watch. I think that I could get behind someone like that, maybe.
I guess it couldn't be much worse than the candidates that we have now..huh? Well, that's "THE WAY I SEE IT....."

Washington Politics....what a joke!
OK, OK, OK....so I am not consistent and I am not the best blogger, but oh well. The final four is still going on and that has been my life on the weekends and work has taken up much of my time during the week so that is all I will say about that.
Let's see, gas prices are on the rise, Congress is grilling oil exec's for making money (go figure), Barak and Hillary are still at it, and my house still has not sold. What a week! I want to start off talking about gas prices. This may take a while so if you want to go and get something to drink or take your shoes off or whatever it is you do to get comfortable and listen to my ramblings, go do it because this should be good. I have a couple of things to say about the whole oil thing.
1. To the environmentalist whackos, "WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU????". Do you really care that much about a caribou or what an oil rig is going to look like in the ocean? Come on? When did the caribou ever get a job and contribute anything to this country. I think they will be alright moving about 20' to the left without too much of a problem. Also, what are you trying to protect up in ANWAR? You guys are crazy in my opinion. Don't you think that things would be easier for everybody if we were to start drilling here and build some refineries. (By the way, we haven't built a refinery in about 30 years......thanks Democrats for that). Let's start worrying about our daily lives instead of putting animals ahead of our well being. Next thing you know, Dems will be wanting health care to extend to wildlife and have them treated in hospitals. Hey, maybe I could run on that platform.....? This brings me to my next point. CONGRESS......if I knew how to make an angry face or something like that I would put it right here and for the next few sentences....but here is why I am a little upset.
2. Congresss has been grilling these oil exec's for making a profit on their business. HELLO....CAPITALISM....have you heard of it? I thought that the purpose of having a business iS to make money. Maybe that's just me. I don't know what these Congressmen and women make but I know it is a lot more than me and no one seems to be grilling them about their profits. Maybe we should form a committee and go to Washington and sit them in front of a panel and tell them that they need to make less and how they should be ashamed at the high taxes they create when there are decent people suffering. Is this hitting a nerve? I hope so because I am SOOOOOOOOO disgusted at our government right now. They are spending my money to scold a company for making money on their business. INSANE!!!!!! Second thing is, I can't believe that these people are so dense and ignorant that they can't see that "big oil" doesn't set the price. The market sets the price and if you ever took economics you would know that when demand is rising the price rises along with it. DUH......can you tell how upset I am.
Let me stop for now because if I go on I might not get any sleep and then my wife will be upset with me, it will cause me to be grumpy and say things I shouldn't, I would get fired, lose my job, have to go on welfare, rely on the government to pay for my house and my food and my health care, get sick and have to wait for 3 months for a life saving surgery, not be able to pay my medical bills and Congress would have to pass another law to help me out........then when all this is said and done, you would see me on the poster for the next Democratic Convention with the tag line......"We changed Washington and here's our proof..."
