And While I'm Bitching about Politics

Since I'm on a roll about politics, I want to point out a couple things that people seem to keep forgetting about the presidency:

1. The President is not getting ANYTHING except wars done by himself. And this last Iraq one was pretty much signed off on by everyone. Shame on everybody. Quit acting like any of the current candidates are going to be getting us out of Iraq or anyplace else. You want to drive around in cars? You love your ginormous SUV? We're stuck there until we wean ourselves from foreign oil. Good luck on that.


2. NONE of the current presidential candidates is "looking out for average Americans" -- they want the top dog job. They're going to say and do whatever it takes to get it. As Tom Clancy has pointed out more than once: they would drive a car over their own children for that job. Don't look to politicians to look out for us anymore. It's not their job. Their job is to get elected, then to STAY elected. Bureaucracies are built to maintain themselves and little else.


3. If you're going to choose a candidate, your going to have to look over the offerings, and pick the one that's going to SCREW YOU LESS. I'm not sure ANY of these candidates are going to cause me less pain in the next 4 years.

Questions about Lewinsky shadow Chelsea

Okay, even if you're a die-hard Hillary hater (and I'm nearly in that camp, mind you), CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive - Questions about Lewinsky shadow Chelsea « - Blogs from CNN.com has some FASCINATING commentary from "average Americans" on the bottom.

I hate to shock you slew of assholes, but Monica Lewinsky is not "Chelsea's private life", and it's not her place to talk about it. She didn't screw Monica, her Dad did. What would she really know about it? Why would it have any impact on her Mom's presidency, if she gets elected (oh God please no)? Do you all think Hillary is gonna invite her back and get busy in the Oval Office? Good God people.

Why does Bill banging Monica have anything to do with Hillary's morals? Does everyone think this is Bill getting 4 more years? If Hillary wins, I doubt Bill is gonna have much more than his own opinion on what Hillary would do.

And finally, quit lumping Chelsea into her parent's moral fiber and calling her a liar and a cheat and a womanizer etc etc etc. She's their DAUGHTER. She's her OWN person. Treat her as such.

What a pack of imbeciles this country has turned into. A good porton of the crew commenting on that blog entry are obviously unable to do any independent thinking.
