Lady Liberty and the Seven Dweebs

I'm coming to the conclusion that Mitt Romney is the Republican version of Hillary Clinton and Hillary Clinton is the Democratic version of Mitt Romney. Both of them are going for the standard party image. Is Romney with his clean cut ways, purity of values, religious but not too religious and government for the sake of business, really so different from go for Labor, tough leadership, woman and gay powered Hillary. Neither of them is particularly trustworthy. Both of them are politicians to the core. If Detroit made candidates the way they made cars, both Romney and Clintion would be in the showroom.

Then, on comes Huckabee. We should not be enabling (i.e., forgiving) of those who went out and got bad loans. They have to live with their bad decision. One wonders if other people who made bad decisions, like marrying an abusive husband, should also be denied legislative relief. Of course, those decisions don't involve money.

For Obama: do you really one a guy with so little experience that close to the Big Red Button? The president has to do more than talk about hope and give out promises. He has to be willing to take the heat for good and bad decisions. I just don't see Obama with those kind of stones.

As far as Edwards is concerned, he's like Wal-Mart Hillary. He's going for a serious democratic base. Of 1945.

McCain has the stones. But there's the Big Red Button again. I have every faith that he would tell me in no uncertain turns why he had to push it. I trust his judgement. I just don't trust the values upon which that judgement is based. Not to mention he put his integrity in hock when he supported Bush back in 2004.

Guiliani. Will do for the country what he did to New York. That's the good news. The bad news is no other part of the country remotely resembles New York. And if I dont' trust Obama or McCain with the button, I'm sure not going to trust this git.

Who does that leave? Some dwarves in coats, I think. Can't remember their names.

Bad luck that one of them is going to get elected. Thank goodness for the separation of powers in the US Constitution.

Oh, yeah. Bush destroyed that.
