Deal me out

She won’t let him in. He crashes

Let me say right now that from this moment until the November election you should pay no attention to anything I say about politics. I have realized that my views on what is happening are apparently so far from everyone else’s, and my biases are so profound, I will not be able to objectively view what might happen. I say this because (1) I find it utterly incomprehensible that anyone (McCain) would attempt to run on the Bush record, (2) the Brafia would even allow him to do this if they expect to win, (3) the MSM keep covering this as if McCain is a serious candidate who actually has a chance to win, and (4) this is happening at all. From my admittedly biased perspective I find it incredible that McCain could expect to win a single state, aside perhaps from a couple of the hopelessly racist enclaves in West Virginia and Kentucky. Eighty one percent of the American people believe we are on the wrong track, they hate this phony “war,” that McCain wants to continue, and they are fed up with Washington D.C. in general. So running on another four years of the same is supposed to produce votes? And not only is McCain tied to Bush policies, he has also surrounded himself with lobbyists of the worst kind and sought out endorsements from religious leaders who are demonstrably insane. The MSM are taking this candidate seriously? They seem to be. They keep analyzing which states he will win as opposed to Obama and treat him as if his apparent senility (experience) is an asset. He keeps insisting that Obama is too young and inexperienced to even understand the problems, the very problems he wants to try to keep solving by the already failed policies that created them in the first place (a sure sign of insanity). I will not be surprised to hear him start addressing Obama as “boy” any day now. Just today McCain said in a speech that our troops will eventually come home with a “victory,” and he will never “surrender.” The very fact that he would use such language indicates just how far from reality he obviously is. There can be no victory in Iraq, victory was lost when we invaded illegally and immorally in the first place. Nothing that could possibly happen now could ever make up for the horrors we have inflicted unnecessarily on that unfortunate country, horrors that McCain wants to continue because of his mindless view that to face up to reality and admit a horrible blunder is to somehow surrender. Having put up with all this nonsense for so many months, and having observed the performance of the Clintons, I have concluded that not only is Obama our best hope, he is the only one that is even sane, and it is not easy to remain sane when surrounded by a veritable sea of insanity. Bush/Cheney and their henchpersons have committed war crimes of the most serious kind. Everyone knows this. They have even admitted it. McCain wants to continue in the same way. We are being asked to suspend reason and common sense and pretend all of this has not happened and what we need is more of the same? I’m sorry, just deal me out.

Your biased point of view is why I like to hear your comments because my bias is quite similar. I too find it incredible that even 20% still like Dubya, and that McCain's poll numbers are holding up as well as they are. But the fact is, there are untold numbers of voters out there who are clueless and continue to vote against their own self interest, and have continued to support the corruption/incompetence, et al, so I guess we shouldn't be so surprised. The problem is, how to give the clueless a clue? Hopefully Barack can get through to just enough to squeeze out victory. God, I hope so!

I've been reading your posts occasionally since Gary sent me the web address some time ago, and I mostly agree with you. He recently encouraged me to send you a note, and I agree that it's probably long overdue. Thanks for doing this, and keep it up! I'll try to add a reply once in awhile.
