Wouldn't It Be Nice
Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I'm reposting this now that 2008 is here and I've reluctantly started paying attention to the election.
Prediction
Does anyone remember
and how all the talk was about
but then
came out of nowhere and snatched the gold?
Sort of makes me wonder if while everyone is talking about
this guy
will come in and snatch the gold.

Because America has ADD and is easily swayed by polls and front-runners, I truly believe that the winner of Iowa will be the winner of the nomination.
I think all of our choices suck incredible ass.
And I like your IcequeenDramaScandal analogy!!
Unfortunately, I agree with you.
has me wishing that we could abolish the 2 party system.
I'll vote for that!
The trial lawyers and the insurance companies went to war over a state initiative here in the last local election. I don't trust either of them.
He's a TRIAL lawyer. Doesn't anyone see ANY problems with that?
Trial lawyers represent clients involved in litigation, both civil and criminal. Criminal lawyers may represent plaintiffs or defendants, the "people," or the accused. Civil litigators take the side of a party in a dispute where no crime is involved.
Last time I checked, that was not only a legal profession, but a necessary one for the Constitution thing we have to function properly....
Lawyers *in general* are mistrusted by many people, and it is part of the fear and mistrust that the UK and Europe have for U.S. citizens. We are labeled "sue-happy", perhaps, because... while ligitation IS a necessary thing, not everyone believes it should be as prevalent as it is in our country.
While John Edwards may be a fine politician, some of us don't necessarily trust his profession, or his carefully crafted grooming and appearance.
It is my firm belief that the major political parties are broken (Libertarians included) and NONE represent my interests. None!
C'mon! I'll even air some of my dirty laundry:
1. poverty
2. mental illness
3. family values, support for families, etc.
4. the fact that support services for "disabilities", especially mental ones, are lumped into Social Security-- and the "aged" and "infirm" are not necessarily the same people!
The political parties are CLUELESS about the mixed needs/interests of folks in my situation because they repeatedly cross party lines. Aside from Jimmy Carter, the Dems are getting repeatedly clobbered on the religion issue-- people that their party could serve repeatedly vote Republican because they are too busy being overly pretentious intellectual (note: intellectuals that are pretentious) fucktards full of people that are fearful and angry because they were hurt-- such as and including the following: mommy, daddy, and their church friends shaming them terribly when they were children, socioeconomic middle-class guilt complexes in the environmental movment (thus they see fit to spout a lot that it's terribly practical or feasible for the poor), etc.
It's all about moral righteousness vs. social righteousness, right? Fuck that!
I wonder if now would be a good time to put in my own two cents.
I'm not much for politics. It seems to me that arguments just like this one are far too prevalent in this country. I really don't think that's going to help solve the problem. It's the same with the politicians, particularly during an election year. They are so busy trashing the opposition, that none of them stop to tell the voting public what's so great about them and we end up feeling like we're trying to pick the better of two evils. That's how I felt when Georgie and Algore were running against each other.
I wish that politics could just stop with the "I'm better than you" stuff and start working properly again. It would be so nice to have a decent intellectual discussion about the issues and who is more likely to do the better job instead of all this finger pointing and mud slinging. Don't you agree? Anyone?
Obviously, such is not believable to be politically feasible anymore, and that's a shame.
Agreed.
At the risk of sounding cheesy, "Can't we all just get along?"
In your analogy, I'm like a tribesman from some obscure Saharan country. Ice skating? What is this ice skating?
