Rewrite The Constitution?!

News of Huckabee's recent remarks regarding the rewriting of the Constitution are beginning to surface. At a campaign rally he argued that the document should be rewritten to reflect Christian values. And what's worse is that people were cheering their stupid heads off.

I'm so infuriated I don't know where to begin. This is supposed to be a free and tolerant country with a separation of church and state. We criticize and mock theocratic countries like Iran and yet we have a front runner who is an intolerant, ignorant evangelical minister! There is no defense for his remarks, though many supporters will try. In fact Huckabee did try, or rather the prick tried to dismiss the notion he suggested amending the Constitution.

I am praying he drops like rock, as he should. The America I believe in would not have this bastard as one of two candidates vying for the most powerful office in the world. Not even today's warped Republican party could support this. The mainstream news outlets have not run with the story yet but soon hopefully. And as if this is not enough to disqualify him, stories portraying a vindictive and unethical governor are very slowly surfacing. They can't come soon enough.

MSM

I try not to listen to the lard-filled ignorance that is Limbaugh, but I caught a couple minutes of him the other day during one of his rants against the mainstream media, which by some biased logic does not include FOX. Anyway, he was deriding the news outlets for declaring Romney and Rudy as being on their last breathes. FOX's headline reads..."Romney's Last Stand?" 2008 Hopeful Makes Final Plea". CNN, NBC, and the rest are stating the obvious. Rudy and Romney really are about dead. They need victories soon. And what strategist told Giuliani, who was widely predicted to be the Republican nominee, that he should only campaign in Florida? That has kept him out of the spotlight and therefore out of people's minds. At times I think he dropped out.

McCain/Clinton Win New Hampshire

I would almost be happy about McCain's win if it were not for the fact that he has pandered to the religious right. And Falwell of all people! It's like selling your soul to the devil. He's still probably the best Republican candidate out there. My hope is that he's merely giving lip service to the religious right.

But I couldn't be happier about Rudy's and Thompson's nose dives. Rudy has exploited 9/11 almost since 9/12. And Thompson was doomed from the beginning. He approached this like he did the Senate. He woke up long enough to be heard and then went back to sleep. I'm guessing his trophy wife is pissed as hell. As for Clinton, I guess there is crying on the campaign trail. There are so many things and so many people wrong with this election. It's one giant freak show. What the hell is happening to politics in this country?

Clinton's Attempt to Be Human

Clinton was on CNN last night explaining that she does in fact feel things. This was in response to a question concerning her emotional "breakdown" on Monday night in Portsmouth, which she says proves she has emotions. Whew! Check that one off the list. The woman spent some time in the White House, knows how to handle the "Republican attack machine" (despite crying over campaign pressures), and has emotions. Moving on people.

I can't help but feel the whole thing was calculated, as if she and her staff sat down and said "Obama pulls on people's heartstrings and emotions, but most think you're an emotional blackhole, so if you ever get the chance to shed a tear go for it". It feels like a shameless attempt to get back in the race. The woman has criticized her opponents for trying to marginalize her as a woman and then she goes and cries? Yeah that should make everyone think you belong. Man or woman, it doesn't matter. Just like in baseball, there's no crying on the campaign trail. It's weakness. Period.

What Has The Country Come To?

Last night's Iowa caucus results were devastating. The fact that a minister, who is so clearly biased towards Christianity and intolerant of other faiths and so clearly ignorant in the way only an evangelical minister could be, could so overwhelmingly take a state is extremely disconcerting, especially after seven years of Bush's religion-infused government. I know that's Iowa and that it's just one state, but it's significant momentum going into the other primaries, which follow so closely to one another it makes it difficult for other candidates to catch up. I hate nearly all of the Republican candidates, but for God's sake a minister! We might elect an intolerant minister to run the land of the free?

Although the Democrat race was much closer, Obama's 38% to Edwards' 30% is still a large margin of victory for a man who has the least experience and the most naivety of anyone in the Democrat field. I think the Democrat voters electing Obama are so overcome by their desire for change that they've been swept away by Obama's celebrity as the black outsider bent on solving all of the world's problems in just eight years. If it comes down to Obama versus Huckabee, I think the swing voters, of which there are a huge number, will disproportionately swing to Huckabee as the "safer", more practical choice. This is completely FUBAR.

Hats Off to Jim Webb

Sen. Webb opened and quickly closed the Senate today, with most Senators out on Christmas break. The purpose was to prevent Bush from nominating recess appointments. I don't trust this president and what's more the idiot nominates criminals and other idiots. We only have a year left but Bush has proven he can screw things up in less time than that. Republicans will write off the Democrats and these maneuvers, which will continue through the break, as destructive impediments to doing the country's work. I'm sick of hearing this from self-serving bastards who wasted the country's time and money when they had control on pet projects and rubber-stamping a boob's failed foreign and domestic policies. Freeze up Bush. Make him even more impotent. I'd rather have nothing done than something done by an idiot and his lackeys.

Vick Gets 23 Months

The monkey was sentenced today to 23 months. The dog lover in me wishes he could be watered down and electrocuted (or at least given a longer prison sentence), but I understand that we have an overburdened prison system with drug dealers, murderers, and the like. It still infuriates me that people like Jamie Foxx and Jesse Jackson could support this barbaric monkey, that the fact that Vick is black means more than his actions. It's also sad that he might play ball again. I hope Goodell keeps him out but I doubt it. At least he's taken a huge financial hit that he will probably never recover.
