The pretty boy

So the pretty boy is back. The 50 something Senator is taking a stab against a fierce competition.

The Senator for North Carolina used to be a trial lawyer. Jerk.

So I admit, which makes my fellow GOP'ers cringe is that in early 2004, I was planning on voting for him. Yes, it's true.

I tend to try to give everyone a fair shake at things and he was the only candidate from the "other side" that was actually being positive and not bashing his fellow party members for a half of a percent poll increase.

Issues aside, he seemed to me like a great guy. So when he finally conceded and we were left with the flip-flopper, I thought, OK, maybe this guy can actually get Kerry to be positive and I'll actually vote on other side this year for the president.

That never happened.

I hope he'll stay positive towards his campaign, I may actually listen. It's doubtful after he bashed Cheney's daughter for being a carpet muncher that I'll consider him.

This election, his wife is facing cancer. What's ironic is that it seems that if this would happen on the other side, the "peaceful" leftists would be cheering on her death. But people seem to respect both of them because since he's a democrat, it's totally different.

Edwards is for eliminating poverty, universal health care, and fighting global warming. So instead of the poverty line in the US being 2 televisions, I guess he'd like to give them three. Universal health care means that we'll double our taxes, get worse service and have to wait 50 months for a heart transplant. It's working in Canada, isn't it? Then there's the global warming myth.

Seems like another chicken little kook liberal.

Good luck.

Odds of winning the dem nod: 1000 to 1

Odds of winning the presidency: Same as Larry Bird's word that another Pacer wont get arrested.

Only in Indiana

As I start out my typical day, I do a good 30 to 60 minutes of web surfing to catch up on all the latest news, sports, etc. Typically once a week I'll check out Gary Varvel's blog on my hometown newspaper website, The Indianapolis Star. Typically his political cartoons are support of our local politics, the same inner bickering that goes on between our governor and the house majority leader, but he'll also go into national issues as well.

What caught my eye this week was this:

This is typical Indiana for you. Then I got to thinking, this is your democratic candidate Al Gore. I started going through some of the comments, and sure enough, there were pissed off tree-huggers. You rarely see comments for local issues but when you bash Al Gore, game on!

Gary Varvel is very entertaining, yet, dead on. Are there just a bunch of hippies that are living in their parent's basement that frequent message boards because they're too afraid to go out and actually live life? They'd rather sit back and support a hypocrite like Al Gore because the sun's rays will surely give them a little sunburn.
