Barak, and Hillary and John, oh MY!

So Barak has decided to publicly disassociate himself with his previous religious leader. Truthfully there isn’t anything wrong with this. If you become a public problem then the people that were once close to you are going to step back and re-evaluate their relationship with you. BUT don’t you think that someone in Barak’s position should have had a sit down talk with Rev. Wright before things ever got this far? Americans don’t mind their leaders having spiritual guides, unless you’re wearing a purple jumpsuit or handing out grape kool-aid, but we don’t like the idea of mind control. Billy Graham, yes. Rasputin, no. Surely at some point Barak had to realize that Rev. Wright was getting a little too much off in the conspiracy theories. I have heard the ol’ “ The government invented AIDS” crap for a long, long time. Come on, get real! Do you realize how much the government has had to shell out in medical care for AIDS and HIV patients? The sound of money being sucked away by medical care and assistance programs is like a funnel cloud. AIDS happened. It’s not God’s vengeance or a government plot. It’s an evolutionary development of a virus that somehow got into the human race.


The Rev. Wright fallout has hurt Barak. It might not have hurt him enough to make him lose, but it will forever taint his political life, much as Bill’s peccadilloes have hurt Hillary. Personally if I had to choose I’d have fed the grape kool aid to Bill for being stupid, but that’s just me.
Hillary is surging ahead. No doubt about it, the gal is picking up steam. Even with the defection of a top supporter she is still gaining ground. The closer to the final primary it gets the more she’s going to gain. All you right wing fanatics will just have to deal with it.

McCain is coming out with some pretty strong statements. I am so glad he stepped up and admitted that Bush’s Mission Accomplished photo op was just so much BULLSHIT. We all know Bush is the biggest fuckwit of the western world, but that photo just underline how outer limits he really is. Mission Accomplished, yet thousands more America soldiers die? Let me clue you into something George, Mission Accomplished means the soldiers pack their shit and come home. It doesn’t mean that they stay in a war for another 5 years getting their asses shot at. I wish every single parent, child, spouse and friend that lost a loved one in your illegal war could be alone with you for five minutes, with a baseball bat and a can of oil to throw on you. But I digress, back to McCain. John, get a grip son. I’m trying to like you. I admired you as an Arizona Senator, and as a resident bad ass in the senate. But this crap about supporting the war is just NOT right. Buck up and admit the whole thing is a fiasco and get our troops the hell out of there.
Here’s the truth of the issue: Whether we are in Iraq for five more years, or fifty more years, the fact is that the second we pull out things will go right back to how they were. Some crazed dictator is going to get all his groupies in line and take over. It is UNAVOIDABLE. They don’t want us there, they don’t like us, and they have NO intention of Americanizing.

So why not just get out now and let nature take its course? We need our soldiers home protecting US, not over there fighting against people that hate us, who will never change their ways.
Who you tryin’ to kid? We know the war is a joke, get to the punch line already and bring our troops home!
