I'm back

I have not been able to blog for the past three days. Our server (I guess that's what it's called) is located on a mountaintop. Inclement weather apparently damaged it and it could only be reached with difficulty, hence the delay. I still can't get my email, but that's no big deal as I hardly ever get any anyway.

I watched the Democratic love-in in Nevada and was very pleased and proud of how our remaining candidates conducted themselves. I am not pleased, however, to know that these three have been allowed by the MSM to continue while others (mainly Kucinich) have not. Of course this is what our politics have come to over the years - we are only allowed to vote for candidates picked for us by the Media and the powers that be. It appears the MSM are preparing to rid us of Edwards next. Given the realities of our fake system I am not displeased with either Clinton or Obama (who are both bought by the big corporations but what else could be expected these days). As far as winning the election this year goes I think the Democrats are in good shape.

I can't say as much for the other group (the Brafia) who seem to have some kind of death wish. My son has said from the beginning that Romney would be their candidate and at the moment it looks like he will be proven correct. Mitt Romney, the Lying Mormon, just what we need in the White House (to replace the ones we have there now). Who else can it be? McCain is running on a pro-eternal war platform when the vast majority of the public is sick of it all and wants out. Not only that, there is a rumor today that he may pick Lieberman as his running mate! If this isn't a death wish I don't know what is. He might as well pick Dick the Slimy (remember him). Huckabee is even worse with his talk of amending the Constitution to bring it in line with the bible. Now he has also come out with the claim that same sex marriages will lead to bestiality, among other things. What a winning platform! They don't seem to be able to keep Thompson awake long enough to run. Interestingly, that may not matter in South Carolina. Giuliani will probably disappear after losing in Florida. After all, what reason would anyone have for voting for him unless they are interested in serial monogamy, abortion, and torture? Romney was caught lying again today by some reporter in an episode in a Staples store that was caught on videotape. What a fine bunch of candidates! I can't imagine anyone of them as President. But, then, I couldn't imagine Nixon, Reagan, or the Bush's either. I don't know what, if anything, goes through the minds of the voting public. If they could just resurrect Saint Ronnie, one of the worst Presidents of all time, I guess they would be gloriously happy.

The polls (them again) seem to indicate that either one of the three Democrats could win Nevada. Does it matter? I doubt it except for the fact that it might keep Edwards going a bit further. The voting records of all three are virtually identical so take your pick.

There is a battle going on between the DNC and the DLC over who will control he Democratic party from now on. If the DNC loses Howard Dean will be gone in a flash. If the DLC wins we'll go back to the situation in the 1990's and the Progressive Democrats will have lost out. As the DLC is little more than an arm of the Brafia this would not be an outcome to look forward to with glee. Hillary and Bill will be in charge and Republican lite will rule. Obama or Edwards are clearly the better choices but, like always, what candidates say they will do, and what they do, do once in office is mainly a mystery, a roll of the dice. Why do we keep participating in this charade?
