Politics & Religion - Minus The Religion

It’s REALLY crappy outside today. Good napping weather.
The gloomy weather and the relatively little work I had to do today gave me time to nap and think about the absence of a presidential candidate worth voting for. Let’s see, our choices at the moment are:

1) Mitt Romney- what kind of name is Mitt? He’s a Mormon, so he’s probably crazy. I know nothing about him. He’s out.
2) Barack Obama- first of all, he doesn’t even have a campaign slogan. Again, I don’t know what he stands for or what he plans to accomplish. He’s out.
3) Rudy Giuliani- a little more socially liberal than his republican competitors. Good. Strong on terrorism. Alright. Started an opera club in high school. Oh, so close, but no.
4) Hillary Clinton- ah, no. Maybe if she tried to make healthcare more universal, but otherwise, no way.
5) John Edwards- lost in 2004, his neighbors hate him, pays $400 for haircuts. NO!
6) John McCain- used to like him, but he crossed over to the dark side when he started to change his position and supported Bush. No.
7) Fred Thompson- not even close.

There’s not one candidate that stands out from the others as being THE candidate. I try to be as independent as I can. I don’t care if the person is a democrat or republican, conservative or liberal. I’m conservative on some issues but liberal on others. I just want someone’s who’s honest and who will distance themselves from the Bush administration without going off the deep-end and say we need to become friends with countries like Iran.

If the election were held today, I could not bring myself to vote for any of the candidates. I would probably hand in a blank ballot so it would at least be counted as a dissatisfied voter.

Oh well, looks like we’re screwed for at least another 4 years.
