I stopped writing to this left wing, ultra liberal site for a long period because it is no better than Fox News. It is clear via the yellow journalism present on this site again that Huffin Puffin is a de-facto campaign office for the O-Bomb-a-nation.
There has obviously been an unhealthy brokering of power at the DNC and everyone losses. Huffin Puffin with its yellow journalism has played a significant roles in promoting their darling N0-Bomb-a for the Democratic Nomination. He has no real change of winning for a very long number of reasons, far too lengthy to list here.
Behind many political situations are the real culprits who are the gatekeepers, stakeholders, partisan delegates and movers/shakers most who have very vested financial interests and hope to purchase the offices of government via contributions, pacts and propaganda in the media. All the spin and hype is generated to capture the mold able minds of the pubic into malleable clay that acts and reacts in a manner that promotes the goals of the few controllers over the masses.
Those few power brokers are not really interested in Jeffersonian democracy or even Hamilton’s federalists’ papers. Currently from the right wing, they are the globalists, free traders and war mongers on the Republican side. They are also from the left wing, the socialist leeches, welfare society freeloaders, big government, and high taxation proponents on the Democratic side. Each group uses fear, intimidation and power ploys to demonize their opponents in the most uncivil methodologies. Neither wing is worthy of respect or validation via a vote from the hardworking middle class who are the soul and backbone of the world’s society.
Since the DNC has been so clueless in its actions of pandering to the fringe elements within the party, many independent moderates probably will be voting to support the McCain campaign, because the alternative is just intolerable to be condoned.

The O-bomb-able one however will not be elected to any office other than the one he currently hold because his base constituency is NOT the base majority of Americans who are decent hard working, tax paying middle class voters. It is easy to conclude that O-Bomb-a base is the NAACP, the ACLU, the AFL-CIO and very liberal socialists who want larger wasteful government, more bureaucracy, more pork barrell entilements and earmarks, more welfare benefits and other trappings that the Democratic Party in the past has failed to shield off as impractical unrealistic policies.

Billery is not much better, since she is also a liberal socialist at heart, in thinking that is it the government's job to force socialists policies onto taxpayers who get no real say in the manner that governments wastes funds by supporting more entitlements, earmarks, and benefits to the undeserving. Bullery, like socialist Ted Kennedy is also too close to the illegal aliens in her support of amnesty for those Spanish speaking criminals who would like to see much of the US under Mexican control, language, laws and customs. She, like Bill is also a whore for corperate interests.

Granted McCain is no long term solution either, since he is a rubberstamp of the Bush administration. In his favor, he is not a yellow dog socialist. He is a real populist that does listen to others before making decisions. Unfortunately, he echoes some others who do not deserve to be heard. They are also corperate special interests. He needs to pull the troops out of a region that should have never been invaded / occupied by US troops since the prior Iraq government was not the enemy of the American people...

America today is in a shambles. Three candidates are not up to the job of leading this country with an adequate level of gravitas. An unnecessary war rages on while good people needlessly die for the profits of those invest in the military industrial complex. The economy has faltered and leads us into a recession where jobs are lost, exported overseas and millions of undesirables have illegally breeched the southern border. The fat of pork barrel programs such as NASA�s folly continues to drain the economy and strength of the dollar while foreign aid to questionable governments is at an all time high. The last thing we need is a president who supports any type of special interests by rewarding them with handouts from the treasury. These interests may be corporations, other governments, industry groups, or individuals who work the system with expletive actions for their own financial interests.


Unless Al Gore steps in to rescue the Democratic Party, I am left with little choice but to write in Ralph Nader or Lou Dobbs for POTUS. Al Gore still must distance himself from the failed socialist policies of the ulta liberal elementw within the Democratic Party.
The hard working dedicated middle class America people deserve much better than the horrible offering from the current offerings.

I see very little hope for America regardless of who is elected in November. All the current candidates remaining in the race have said they will not cut and run in Iraq and Afghanistan. One may speculate that once in office, one or another candidate may be more flexible, but this is actually unlikely. The Republicans have swallowed both wars hook, line, and sinker, and the Democrats know that if they propose any sort of pullout they will be labeled defeatists and blamed for the miserable outcome. And, as many pundits have pointed out, the outcome is bound to be miserable either now or later. More civilians will be killed; more regions, tribes, or towns will turn to their own leaders instead of to the elected national officials for protection; more weapons will fuel whatever hatreds are being nursed against others in the region and most certainly against the United States. Is it not ironic that we came to Iraq to free its people from a Sunni minority dictatorship, and were now arming these same Sunnis against a Shiite majority? Is it not ironic that the hated Taliban did a much better job of controlling the cultivation of opium poppies than the government we put in place in Kabul?

The disasters we have visited on the people of the Middle East are something for which we are ultimately responsible, much as blame for the Holocaust belongs to the Nazi regime and the Rape of Nanking to the wartime Japanese government. I fear much worse is to come domestically. The lies of the Bush government that got us into these two wars, and the propaganda and public misinformation that continue to keep us there have had a corrosive effect on public trust. Many people no longer believe anything the government or the media tells them. So far this cynicism has not penetrated deeply into the ranks of the armed services. But I suspect that before long it will. As the wars drag on and the deployments stretch out, as the casualties continue with no end in sight, and as it becomes clear how poorly these casualties are cared for once they come home, our military including the National Guard will become demoralized and very angry. They should be angry for being used as they are; we should be angry for them.

In addition to our moral bankruptcy, there is fiscal bankruptcy. The Bush government talks about the burst housing bubble but says nothing about the obscene military budgets that are driving our entire economy deeper into debt. It will probably take a major financial crisis on par with the Great Depression to reorient our economy in a more productive direction. Unfortunately, I do not hear any currently promoted Candidate (Billery/McCain/Obomba) talking like Lou Dobbs or Ralph Nader in the MSM.

In short, I think our ship of state is heading for a mammoth iceberg. Just as many people in 1930s Germany were, I am possibly too old to leave and will probably go down with the ship. But if I were younger, I would be thinking of bailing out as ab ex-ptriot. Vote, if you must, in November, but do not expect that things will change much, let alone get better under the Republicans or Democrats. Since Lou Dobbs or Al Gore are not running my votes will add to the McCain landslide.
