A hyperlink-less post!

Mostly, because I want to say the last thing I'm going to say, directly, about the presidential election. Unless, something amazingly drastic is discovered or happens. And even then I hope to avoid bringing in this election if possible.

I'm already tired of the election. Have been for, I don't know, 12 months. I suppose I should be glad that the most important thing going on is the "horse race", at least according to our newspapers. I'm largely, if not completely, sure that this is NOT the most presidential election of our lives. Call me crazy, if you like.

I'm sort of tired of both sides silliness. I don't think Democrats would forgive Obama's lack of experience and ties to corrupt leaders, movers and shakers if he was a Republican. I don't think Republicans would forgive John McCain's moralizing or long political career, if he was a Democrat. I think both sides have hurt their so-called strengths by choosing their VPs. That happens all the time, but it's entertaining to watch both sides trying to argue, no the choices don't. Mind you, Reagan and Bush, really didn't like each other, and represented the different wings of Republicanism at the time. It's not new to use the VP choice to "fill in the gaps" of your resume. So, please stop rationalizing.

Both Obama and Palin are from amazingly corrupt political cultures. So, both of them are going to have corruption in their past. That's just guaranteed. Whether it's Troopergate or connections to Tony Rezko. Both John McCain and Joe Biden have been in Washington for forever, and said stupid, offending things.

That's not me saying who cares who you or I vote for. Just that all of this "horse race" stuff is besides the point. I just wish people would admit that the reason they vote for who they do is because they agree with the overarching political philosophy of the candidate, and leave it at that. Yes, sometimes it's more complicated then that. Sometimes there really is a difference between candidates, but usually not. That's just the two party political system.
