Pre-election Reflection(s)

If Feingold loses the primary in 2008, I'm voting for a third party. I had actually been thinking about voting for McCain, but he lost me when he visited "Liberty" University and hung out with Jerry Falwell.

Don't worry about it - remember, you're not just voting for President, but also all of the other people they bring in with them. This is the reason that a bad Democrat is *always* better than a good Republican: even a good Republican will bring a lot of nasty right-wing people with them in the cabinet and judiciary and so on, while even a bad Democrat will bring lots of good left-wing people in the same positions.

And, more to the point, you got something against Hillary? Huh???

I don't know much about her policies, but just the way she conducts herself in public seems fake and plastic. She carpetbagged to New York to run for Senate, and I don't think that will go over too well with the South. The Republican Party will have a freaky field day if she wins the nomination, and the Democrats will lose not only the presidency, but also Congress-- even only four years after eight years of Republican destruction and misery.

But I could be wrong. I often am.

I agree her nomination wouldn't do too much good for the congress but it seems her popularity has gotten a bit better. I am hoping Jeb Bush or Gingrich gets the run for Republican president so Dems can win that year haha.
I think both Hillary and McCain are seeling themselves out for the presidency. I don't mind too much though, these 2 are the ones I wouldn't mind see running in 2008, I'd probably have a tough time deciding who to vote for if it was McCain or another Democrat but if it's someone other than McCain or another moderate republican I'm definetely going for a Democrat in 2008!

But, see, now you're buying into the Republican game. All of this nonsense about her being "frigid" or "plastic" in public is garbage that the Republican press has been trying to pin on her, because they can't deny that she's hugely popular in New York and has been a fantastic senator. As to the carpetbagging, 1) it's not all that uncommon in New York (remember RFK?) and 2) it's not that uncommon in the rest of the country: George Bush grew up in Connecticut, for God's sake. And as far as the Republicans "having a freaky field day," once again, that's the message that they themselves have been pushing to cover up the fact that they know that Hillary would be a really serious threat to them: remember, she stands for the Clinton years, when everything was a hell of a lot better than it is now. And all those people who hate her guts are people who were never going to vote Democrat anyway - what she's shown over and over again in New York is that she's *very* good at getting undecided people to like her. So let's be good and fight the
