At least, according to Ralph Nader. Why people have ever listened to this guy, I have no freaking clue. They should stop encouraging him. Why anyone would vote for him is beyond me. Nader said:
“I haven’t heard him have a strong crackdown on economic exploitation in the ghettos. Payday loans, predatory lending, asbestos, lead. What’s […]
Everyone’s favorite religious wacko, James Dobson, has pretty much invalidated many of his own moral arguments. And it seems he’s too short-sighted to even realize it.
It seems that Mr. Dobson has taken umbrage with some comments made in a speech by Barack Obama. He went on his radio show and did his best to tear […]
Why have I not posted much on politics of late? Because it’s been excruciatingly boring. McCain is busy being old and not running against anyone. Obama has been busy marking time until Hillary finally gives up. And Hillary has been somehow, for some reason, trying to convince anyone she hasn’t been out of the race […]
But John McCain might. See, for all Obama’s hype and courting of the “young and hip” - turns out he doesn’t even read blogs. Good to know. Guess who does? Yeah, Old Man McCain. And McCain knows the difference between MySpace and YouTube - which is far better than about 90% of the politicians out […]
Have you all gone blind? Or insane? That’s one of the questions I keep asking myself this election cycle, because just about nothing I see makes any sense. I can see why the Hillary campaign is frustrated at her losing streak and that Ohio, Texas and Penn are her Alamo. Otherwise, it’s “shaka, when the […]
I believe in challenging the institution of party politics. I believe that everyone’s vote should be heard and counted. I believe that we need a mix of career politicians and outsiders. I do strongly believe that if there were significant changes to our government, America would be better off. I believe that someone’s religion, or […]
The Democrat debates tonight were held in Hollywood. Since it snarled traffic really badly for me on my way to work, I’ve decided to vote Republican.
Yeah, I didn’t think you believed that for a second. I did watch the debate tonight, because Super Tuesday, AKA The Nearly National Primary, hits California on Tuesday. And since […]
Hillary Clinton will win Michigan by a landslide. You can take that one to the bank.
What you can also take to the bank is that it won’t affect her delegate total at all. Currently, she leads Obama 183-78. And after Michigan it will be the same. And as for her “shocking” victory in New Hampshire, […]
The Iowa Caucus, as a predictive tool, is pretty much worthless. They’ve chosen the president correctly (in a contested race) only twice - Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush. Bill Clinton only got about 3% in 1992. Iowa is barely worth anything in the total delegate count - as well it should be, since it’s […]
With the primary elections fast approaching (and getting faster all the time) I’ve had to try and narrow down who I’m casting my vote for. I’ve already decided against Hilary because of her attitudes towards media and censorship. Kucinich is out because I think he’s insane, and he violates one of my immutable rules: Don’t […]
