Holy election year Batman! The Iowa caucus turned out to be quite a horse race eh? I think it is quite exciting that Obama has won for the Dems. Though I like Hillary and I think she would be a great president, there are just too many Hillary Haters out there and she is just too much of a lightning rod for me. I would prefer to see an Obama Edwards ticket or an Edwards Obama ticket, either way works for me. Apparently ABC has decided to cull the herd further for us, since we Americans can't think for ourselves and need the media to tell us who we should listen to. As if they have done such a good job telling what the current administration is up to. Huckabee seems to have come out on top much to everyones amazement. Since he had been more seriously underfunded than the other candidates. I am just not that comfortable with him. I truly believe that government and politics should stay secular. You only need to look at the middle east/iran/iraq etc etc to see where mixing religion and politics will get you. We have already had a few run-ins here in this country with politics and religion and we need to back away from that precipice. I guess he is better than Romney or Guiliani but sheeesh, if you ask me the Republican party has become a bunch of whack jobs anyway. Just the fact that we even need to argue about evolution is incredible to believe. Intelligent people actually feel evolution is wrong? It's science for crying out loud! Prove it wrong or cut the crap.
I support Obama if I had to choose right now. I think he is just what we need. A change from what we have and from business as usual. What has been happening is not working. Our continued Bush/Orwellian adventure in supply-side economics is proving to be a disaster for everyone who is not already really well-off. The problem with supply side economics if that it is dependent on those wealthy companies, corporations and individuals to actually use their tax savings and riches to provide more jobs and economic growth and thus more revenue for the government. But I haven't seen it work that way. But then I am just a frustrated socialist, what do I know?
