And now I say it!
I do not and will not support Hillary Clinton as a presidential candidate. Since I am registered as an Independant it doesn't really matter since I can't vote in primaries, WHICH IS ABSOLUTE RUBBISH by the way.
But that's another rant.
My lack of support for Hillary has nothing to do with her overies. It has mainly to do with her as a figure. I am confident you have all heard me say this before, Bill Clinton was a good president. Bill Clinton appeared on all fronts to be a rather crappy person. He was skeevy and lied to his family and lied to the country and I would say in general he is not someone I would trust in my life. Done.
I feel the same way about Hillary. I don't have any evidence that she is a liar, but I remember the whole white water thing and I remember that their business manager ended up dead just when he was being looked for to answer some questions. That's enough for me. There is something about her that just makes me flinch, and I can't believe I am about to say this, but I can get behind something Sean Hannity said on his radio show which I listen to everyday on my way home from work. (Hey it's the ONLY talk radio station in town. No NPR no anything other than Hannity and O'Reilly and Savage) He says that she has some kind of massive temper. Some kind of insane enraged fury lurking just beneath the surface. And I can see that I think. She has, "the crazy eye". She has a look of a woman who is convinced she is composed and prepared. I think if you happened to throw her one solid curve ball that her facade would explode and she would just go crazy on yer ass right then and there.
They did a great skit on SNL where Hillary was doing an interview with Chris Mathews and she just goes Apeshit on him. It was very very funny but I feel like it carries with it the same sense that I have of the woman. She's a cracked nut just waiting for the shell to come off.
So while I would LOVE to have a woman president I don't think it should be Hillary. Add to that the dynasty element, Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush, Clinton. No way. Too much an order of kings to me. Some really great people fought off the english and won so we didn't have to deal with crap like that and I for one think we should try to keep following that example. FDR nearly stole it from us once, but after him we set the unspoken rules in stone and I don't want to see that dynasty system simply passed from generation to generation. That would be unamerican.
Barack Obama? I like him. He is a little more liberal than I would like. He is a little too much of a swinging door back and forth, kind of, "I'm black enough and I am white enough". Though his race means little to me it's how he deals with it that is an issue for me. It's like he looks at you and shrugs his shoulders and says "You label me, I'm ok with what you pick". And that makes me uncomfortable. It makes me think he is too inexperienced and that if he did win he doesn't have the legs to stand under the weight that will be put on his shoulders.
Kennedy had more time under his belt than Obama and he was ultimately confident and just a freakin steamroller when he wanted to be. I don't get any sense of steamroller from Obama. I think his push is not nearly as strong as it would need to be if he wanted to be an effective president.
So I don't know who to look into now. Edwards seems ok. I like him too but he is a trial attourney who got rich filing claims on malpractice and so on and that's just skeevy. I really do have issues with personal injury attornies. They are just all covered in a type of psychic slime that I can't stomach. Standing close to them makes me feel dirty and it doesn't really matter how thin the veneer of slime is, it's still there. Even when I had to deal with the whole car accident issue, the guy that was representing me from the insurance agency who IS NOT a personal injury attorney, yup, fine coating of slime.
Nice guy, he just had some slime on him is all.
Al Gore? Please. Just Please. I appreciate what the man is trying to do and the way that some people are attacking him over his electric bill is just rediculous but please. Enough of that. Let it go.
So who is left? The other guys are pretty much nameless and most of the guys on the Republican ticket definately feel creepy minus Rudy. I'd more likely vote for Rudy today cause at least he doesn't like discriminating against gay people. There are so many fags in new york there is no way that guy can still be a phobe. Even if he personally dislikes homosexuals THATS FINE! As long as he is concerned with their personal rights and their human rights then I can get behind him. Not literally! That was a totally heterosexual euphamism! I DIG CHICKS!
Anyway. I keep listening and watching and reading and I am just tired. Tired all over. My soul is starting to yawn at me and say, please...buddy....just take a break. You can't keep up on this stuff all the time or it is going to kill you and make an empty shell.
So now my next question? What would you guys say if I told you that I had a chance to move to Ireland? For a few years?? In Dublin???
Eh just throwin it out there.
Love ya!
