I haven't posted much in the way of politics lately, and I probably won't.
I find myself very calm these days. Normally I'd be very interested in the outcomes of the primaries, but now it's just fun to watch.
I have no skin in this. The outcome is of no consequence.
McCain being the Republican nominee means that I have no interest in the Republican candidate. In fact, I'm pretty sick of the Republican party. I want it to die, just go the way of the Whigs, and maybe something better will rise up in its place.
Of course, to me, that something better would be a party of Reagan Republicans.
As for the Democrats, well why would I care? Other than hoping that Hillary loses in order to break the Clinton dynasty, it won't matter.
Whoever wins the Democrat primaries, that candidate will be little different from McCain in their past voting record, none will take the country in a markedly different direction from the other.
But it's still a lot of fun following the primaries, even if only lightly, cuz we get to see a real battle royal. And we get to see neat little games like this one:
Sharpton Gets in on the Action
Wouldn't THAT be a cool fight?
It's amazing how nice it feels to be so calm and carefree, even though I really think we are screwed and will go into a mondo recession. Thing is, none of us can do anything about it. It doesn't matter who we vote for, the winner will be a tax increasin' illegal immigrant huggin' big gubbamint lovin' socialist stooge.
Which is what GW turned out to be after all. Except for the tax part.
But why do I have such a glum outlook on the future? Well, Dems will certainly retain control of Congress & Senate. Now, with a Dem or like minded individual in the White House, we'll be seeing a lot more of this kind of silly crap:
Tax Cut for Hugo
Unemployment here we come!
But again, there's no one I can blame except the Republican party itself for losing its way.
Nothing I can do but watch and hope I'm wrong.
