Intelligent Thoughts and Other Insightful Comments

I guess I don't really mean terrorist, but it made the title more catchy than the CHINESE SPY/MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE/MENTALLY UNSTABLE PERSON in our midst. Now I am going to let you in on a conspiracy theory so real it has to be true. It also wasn't spouted by Abram further increasing its legitimacy.

Even though I consider myself to be a Democrat, I have been highly disappointed with my party this fall. Yes we have two superstar candidates and yes the Republicans have practically given the White House away, but as usual the Democrats seem to be finding a way to lose. Whether you listen to Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards or even Mike Gravel (he was waiting for the crucial Alaskan primary to catapult himself to the forefront) they all talk about change. Change this, change that, change, change, change, change, change. Well the time for change is right now because if the Dems don't they will probably lose again.


My goodness the economy is in the shitter, Iraq is well still Iraq, scandals, low approval ratings, and all kinds of other bullshit and John McCain still looks like a formidable opponent. This is where the Democrats could learn something from the Republicans, try picking a (winning) candidate. Any candidate it helps when they bad-mouthing comes from the opponent across the political spectrum instead of your fellow party member.

The inability of the Democrats to pick a candidate and win an easy election astounds me. First they delay the process so long that it seems any candidate will finish with any momentum, instead whoever manages to get the nomination will likely be so exhausted that general election will seem like a reprieve. Remember those kids in high school who wanted to be in student government and were the most qualified, but they were unelectable losers and nerds. Today they run the Democratic Party. The Dems are for anything, but change because the way things are looking we should brace ourselves for President John McCain.
