O come ye, o come ye to Dubuque
We're breaking out the Advent calendar this week. Ours holds beautiful figurines of Nativity characters, one for each day 'til Christmas.
But maybe we should be breaking out a Presidential primary calendar. It's hard to believe, but the Iowa caucuses are 30 days away, and by this time five weeks from now, the polls will have closed in New Hampshire. (Michigan will vote six weeks from now, but it's not certain how much it will count.)
I will be so happy the day George Bush leaves Washington and goes back to his weird little life. I hope and believe that any successor will be better.

"I can't believe it but Hillary is worse than Bush".

There is no clothespin tight enough for my nose if the nomination goes to Hillary. As sick as I am of Bush, I'll probably have to write in Nader.

I hope you rethink that position. The odds are the Republicans are going to nominate somebody as mendacious and/or as incompetent as Bush and any more of that will doom our country.
Hillary is my last choice for president among the Democrats, but even she is far superior to anyone who has a chance of getting the Republican nomination. ALL the GOP candidates are either weasels or wingnuts. In the recent debates, they have been trying to outdo each other so much that they are now all to the right of the so-called Southern evangelical base.
Hillary would be a competent centrist leader who will most likely have a slightly more liberal vice president (such as Wesley Clark). If elected, she probably would do a handful of good things, maybe even get some kind of universal health insturance passed. She would appoint intelligent and rational people to the Supreme Court and the lower courts and she wouldn't pack the regulatory agencies full of industry lobbyists.
New Yorkers know both Clinton and Giuliani better than voters in the rest of the country. I'll bet if they are the nominees for president, Hillary kick's Rudy's butt in New York state.

If Hillary's elected, she will make lots of money for corporate executive America, particularly her friends and campaign donors, and she'll take quite a bit for herself. Dirtbags like Web Hubbell and Johnny Huang will run the capital and populate the White House. We'll continue to occupy Iraq, but she'll better than Bush at lying to the nation about why. The American Presidential list will be:
Reagan-Bush
Reagan-Bush
Bush
Clinton
Clinton
Bush
Bush
Clinton
Land of opportunity.
At least Portland will be rid of Sten.

I'll be voting for that crazy doctor who wants to end, tomorrow, the war in Iraq, the War on Drugs, and the thievery of the corrupt European banking cartel known as the Federal Reserve. Eh, he won't win, but at least I'll have a clean conscience.

God, I hope Hillary wins the nomination. She was primarily responsible for the biggest Republican Congressional victory in the party's history, and I'm sure she will do it again.

History might repeat itself... in Hillary. The pendulum will swing from the little wierd life into either little wierder or the big wierd one. Hooray, boys & girls of the big corporate world, your hey day might yet to be extended!
