So, yeah. Southcoast247.com wants to cover the 2008 Presidential race. And guess which lucky pundit got the gig?
I don't know about you, but I've had about enough of the 2008 Presidential campaign. And it isn't even 2008 yet. Debate after debate has made me weary of the entire shitty business.
Hell, if I wanted to win the race, I'd withdraw from all debates until a month or so before the primaries. After all, that's when it counts. Then, I'd swoop in. Make everyone look foolish in the last two debates. And spend the week before the election planning my victory party.
I'm mostly unimpressed by the candidates. Far as I'm concerned, everybody's too centrist for my liking. Nobody is taking a hard-line stance. Everyone's trying to do the politically correct thing. The safe thing.
The pussy thing.
America needs some balls here. After Bush's eight years of wanton America destruction, our country will need a man or woman of serious fortitude and action to turn things around, get the US back on her feet and back on the top of the superpower pack.
Frankly, I just don't see that ballsy individual in this pack of candidates.
Detective scrotes for president - he's all balls.
What I admire most in a candidate is the ability to take a stance that may or may not be popular with his/her financial backing, or the public at large. Obama's stance on Iran earns him sideways looks from Hillary, but it's a ballsy maneuver. In the same vein, Hillary's health care plan can't be too popular with the health insurance lobby. And every self-respecting Dem should back same-sex marriage. It's a shame that Dennis Kucinich is the lone man with guts enough to do so.
Dr. Ron Paul's ideas about economic control and American financial independence may not make him many international friends. He doesn't care, and I admire him for it. And Giuliani constantly catches shit for not being Conservative enough. But he pushes on.
The problem is, these individuals just aren't ballsy enough. Not left or right wing enough. They say what is necessary to keep their party interested and the centrists eyeing the worm on the hook. But NEVER enough to galvanize the strength of the entire party and, in turn, mobilize the voting power of the entire nation.
Ahh, fuck it. Anyone's better than Bush. And maybe Gore comes out of the woodwork sometime in January. Hits two debates and makes everyone look silly.
Maybe.
