2007 Year in Review: Politics
Right. The Bush Administration screwed us over and committed a ton of illegal, unconstitutional, impeachable acts, but never got in trouble for it. People got pissed, sure, but nothing really changed. Then the Democrats got control of Congress, and everyone thought everything was gonna change somehow, but it didn't. The only thing that changed was that Bush had to veto a bill every now and then. So that all sucked.
Then there was the Presidential Race. Here's the rundown on that:
Barack Obama- Pros: No real history, seems like a genuinely decent human being (or at the very least has created that impression). Cons: No real experience at all. Has an unfortunate last night. The Right is terrified of him, which means they'll work overtime to ensure he doesn't get the Presidency.
Hillary Clinton- Pros: Ya gotta love Bubba. Cons: She's a lying, cheating, flip-flopping, back stabbing, not afraid to get turned into a cuckhold on national TV cause getting a divorce would look bad for her eventual presidential campaign, bitch. Also, the Right hates her even more then Obama.
John Edwards- Pros: He's the least controversial Democratic candidate (which is a pretty sad if you think about it). Cons: Seriously, who is this guy?
Rudy Guilliani- Pros: He legitamately cleaned up Times Square. Cons: Most of his 9-11 heroics are little more than smoke and mirrors. He's a fascist. He flip-flops on issues faster than Hillary. He kinda scares the living crap out of me. May drink blood.
John McCane- Pros: He's a vet and a former POW. Gotta respect that. Cons: He's crazy (in a bad way), and his blind support of the Bush Administration's moronic (and increasingly costly in both lives and money (seriously, the US dollar's gonna be worth less than the Peso soon...)) War on Terror has pretty much turned him into a pariah.
That Mormon Guy- Pros: Uhhh... Cons: That whole Mormon thing creeps people out. Also, I think he's the jack-off who coined the phrase "Double Guantanamo".
Mike Huckabee- Pros: Dude talks a hell of a good game. Cons: If there's one thing I've learned from being a life long Baptist, it is this-- NEVER, EVER, EVER TRUST A PREACHER. EVER. Especially one who is STUPID enough to believe the world is only 6000 years old.
Fred Thompson- Pros: He's a recognizable celebrity. Also, he's a party animal, which makes him the Republican Billy Boy. Cons: He's a party animal. Can't stay awake during debates. Health issues. He's kind of a joke already.
Ron Paul- Pros: Anti-big government. Anti-government interfearance. Anti-War. Anti-War Spending. He's the only Republican I'd consider voting for. Cons: Anti-Immigration. Standard Republican stances on issues like Gay Right and Abortion (those of you who lean to the Right might consider moving this stuff to the Pro column). There's absolutely no way in hell he's actually gonna get the nomination.
In Summation: It's all one big joke. In the words of the Who, "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."
