U.S. Presidential Race (by Randy)

Have you seen all the flap that Geraldine Ferraro has gotten herself into? It's really amusing, watching Democrats (besides the New York Governor and his prostitution problem) squirm as THEY are targeted as racist and sexist and whatever. Ferraro saying her comments aren't racist, that she's all for black people, is so much fun to watch. Granted, she is caught in a tight spot...to support a woman or a black...either one would be SO PC, but in the same primary!? What's a liberal to do?

I am also entertained by all the blacks who said that Clinton was their first black president (I have known many who have said just that!). Seems like you'd want to re-pay him by voting for his wife, but no...Now you want to vote for the first black president...that wasn't Clinton... Hmmmmm. Democrats are so full of it!

Now, let's look at the Republicans. Whatever happened to Rudy Guiliani? 9/11 saved him in a way that it did NOT spare George W. It helps to be on the receiving end of a terrible tragedy without being responsible for delivering justice.

Mitt Romney? Was his departure from the scene premature? Who urged him to drop out? Was he tired of spending his own money on the pipe dream of being president?

Mike Huckabee? He would like to think of himself as another Reagan, but who is he kidding? He lacks the charisma, the political savvy, the overall ideals to be anything but an also-ran.

Ron Paul? A victim of predetermined obscurity. Most unfortunate, but what can you do?

And then there’s McCain. What can I say? When the Democrats have decided between Obama and Clinton, they need to hold another primary to pit that winner versus McCain. He is, after all, a Democrat Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing. Republicans are also full of it!

It's starting to look like the only candidate to escape the whole mess with dignity intact is John Edwards. And he is--or was-- a greedy trial lawyer who exploits the poor for his own personal gain! That makes a truly tragic presidential campaign.

If any one of the above artificial politicians is elected, I’m moving to another country! Oh wait… Never mind.

Good luck to the rest of you!
