I feel a rant coming on
Gad, the choices this year for president really suck. Obama is the most left-wing member of Congress ever, and I sincerely doubt his strength and ability to preside as President of the United States - the man can't even quit smoking! Some blogs claim he is trying to hide the fact that he is still smoking.
Now, I understand that smoking is a very hard habit to stop. I smoked from the time I was 13 until I was 34 years old - at the last, I was smoking 2 or more packs a day. Now, as a "typical white person" who happens to be a woman, I was able to stop smoking all by myself without nicotine patches or pills or anything - just had to change some habits.
I am now 55 years old, so, I think I can say I was successful. How can I vote for a man who can't quite smoking - doesn't have that much fortitude?
Shit, if we were attacked by Iran, I bet Obama would surrender to them and I'd have to walk around with my head covered and sneak off to Mass in some basement before being caught by the crazy Islamists and beheaded.
Personally, I don't think lawyers should be allowed to run for President of the USA - they have a very warped picture of life in the USA. They only see the crooks and the injured by accidents. They don't realize that most of us are really pretty happy. A lot of us don't feel a need to change everything.
Oh, and speaking of change - what exactly DOES Obama want to do to change us?
His crazy, hateful wife said he will make us work and he will make us change - what the hell does that mean? Prison camps? Reeducation camps?
Oh, and McCain is also an awful candidate. He is actually thinking of making Bloomberg (nanny bloomberg) his VP candidate. If that happens, I'm voting for Hillary. I'll write her in.
I don't like her, either, but hell, the more I read, the more I hear, the more I see, the more moderate she seems.
And I'm so, so sick of the darn politicians who want to make a windfall profits tax to punish the oil companies. Good God! We tried this before - Mr. Jimmah Carter did that. I remember it well - the energy crisis of the 70s. The windfall profits tax DID NOT WORK and made us more dependent on foreign oil than ever!!!!!!!!!
Why would anyone have any incentive to produce more oil if the result is the punishment of higher taxes? It has been proved, over and over and over again that raising taxes is bad for the economy.
Just want to scream!!!

Fine rant! I think you have a future as a farmer/ranter.
Two beefs though (minor ones): Obama is NOT the most left ever in Congress. Try Maxine Waters. Obama is the most left ever to RUN for POTUS.
Also, "write in Hillary"
??????????????????????????????????????????
Why not write in Barr, or any other conservative?
Keep up the good work, both at the keyboard and in the good Earth. BTW, how much potato did you plant this year?

Did you catch the article that equated Obama with Soylent Green? It was good.
You know, the more I learn about the man, the less I like him. Not that I ever really liked him all that much, but you know what I mean.

Obama is gonna be your mama, your daddy and your preacher, too.
I'm working on a song for him. Got most of the words together. I'll have it up for tomorrow if the tornadoes don't blow us away.
