It’s Super Tuesday and ALL Across the Land … History is in the Making!
I just had to talk about this today. Not that I know so much about it, because I don’t. But, I can voice my concerns in this free country of ours … at least for now.
Today is a long-awaited day in the eyes of the Democratic and Republican contenders, who are competing to become their respective party’s presidential candidate.
According to the AP:
The two dozen contests Tuesday are delivering 1,023 Republican and 1,681 Democratic delegates.
The number needed to win the nomination: 1,191 Republican and 2,025 Democratic.
So, the winner after today for the Republicans could be pretty solid. But the Democrats may be a little tougher to call.
Being an Independent, I can vote for the individual man or woman, who I believe will lead our country out of the mess it’s now in.
But, I don’t really trust any of them. And, I really don’t see a tinker’s damn bit of real difference among all of them.
Maybe John Edwards was the real deal … too real to pay the price. And now that he’s gone, who to trust?
Clinton and Obama …
In their last debate, they were so civil to each other, one would have never believed the diametric opposite could have been true just a few weeks earlier!
So, who are they? The snippy, petty little people we saw earlier or the nice, civil, grown-up folks we saw last week?
Who knows!
And, there really isn’t any real discernable difference between them, is there?
OK, in Universal health care, Hillary would mandate coverage, making everyone pay what, she says, would be affordable.
Whereas Obama, desperately looking for a discernable difference, says his plan would call for making health care affordable enough that folks would be able to buy it; but their wages wouldn’t be garnished, if they elected not to.
That may be a legitimate difference, but is it true?
McCain, Romney and the Other Guy …
Looks like Preacher Huckabee’s hard play on religion only worked in Iowa, huh?
So, if he’s out of gas, then there’s McCain and Romney, both trying to distinguish themselves from the religion card as much as possible.
Don’t smart people see through the whole right to life thing?
Even if you do believe in this, morally or religiously, what right does the government have to dictate a course of action to a woman, facing this horrible dilemma?
This is really scarry. Remember, the separation of church and state is one of the BIG reasons we escaped the tyranny of the King?
Now, this is pretty scarry, too …
According to the American Thinker, Senator Obama’s appointment of Zbigniew Brzezinski as a foreign policy adviser worries Israel supporters.
“His deep bond with Pastor Jeremiah Wright, Jr. (who has close ties with Louis Farrakhan — a notorious anti-Semite, elicited a critical column by Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen — a column which seemed to open a window for others to come forward.”
Now, if there’s any truth to this (and other articles) and Senator Obama is really NOT color-blind and race-blind — boy is he pulling the wool over a lot of eyes!
THINK for Yourself!
Then, what about Hillary?
What about the race card? Is she playing it? Many think so. What do you think? What are the implications?
I wonder if it portends a kind of power-hunger that most of us can’t conceive.
Here’s a pretty disturbing article in Slate, if you want to read a bit about our beloved, benevolent Clintons.
What to Do? What to Think? For Whom to Vote?
Why doesn’t the popular vote count, instead of the electoral votes?
The popular vote does not elect the president. To me, this is insane. Just insane. And we have no guarantee that all the votes cast will be counted properly anyway!
This is what lies at the foundation of why I’m so apolitical.
The system is set up to make the bleating sheep ‘think’ they have a voice. But we don’t when it counts.
We can fuss and argue, blog and write letters, but for the big stuff … we have no voice.
We can only hope we don’t get trampled and killed in the race to power.
