Politics -- getting pretty funny now

You know, I don’t usually talk about politics that much but it seems like in this particular campaign, things are happening that just beg to be talked about.

Here are a few things that have given me a laugh in the last few days.

First I have to say something about Hillary mentioning that Obama would be a good VP for her ticket. I just had to laugh. It just seemed such an arrogant thing for her to say. She would LET the leading presidential candidate be HER Vice President. Gee, I wonder why he didn’t jump at THAT offer… Pretty funny Hillary – you should go on the road with that act…

Actually, it was pretty calculating on her part. She hoped to snow the undecided voters into thinking that if they voted for her they would get both candidates in the end. It was a pretty obvious tactic that didn’t work for long since he didn’t want anything to do with it. Big surprise there… She ended up looking pretty pitiful actually.

Speaking of VP’s, I found it interesting that Romney made it public today that he would be interested in the VP spot with McCain. I had the opinion after he dropped out of the race so abruptly that it was do to a deal being made. He drops out in exchange for the VP spot. Kind of makes you wonder, huh? Things that make you go hmmmm...

The thing that has really been giving me a chuckle though is this whole flap over the Michigan and Florida primaries. What a 3-ring-circus this is. What really cracks me up is when the respective governors keep talking about how the voters deserve to have their votes counted. HELLO!!! Are you kidding me? It’s your fault their primaries don’t count. Each of you could have prevented the primary dates from being moved up and the rules being broken. But did you? NOOOOOOOOOO!

The rules were in place and the Democratic National Committee made it clear that if Florida and Michigan moved their primaries up, their delegates WOULD NOT be seated. You can’t be any clearer, but both governors chose not to do anything and now they are both crying after the fact. Well, duh…

They are trying to lay the blame on the DNC, but it’s not their fault at all. It’s all the fault of the political hacks in Michigan and Florida that allowed it to happen. In my opinion, the DNC should stick to its guns and let them stew in their own juice. They broke the rules so they don’t deserve to get their way now. They should also stand up and take the blame for their own screw up and apologize to the people of their respective states for rendering their votes meaningless. I don’t think either of them will have the guts to do that though.

They are trying to get the ok now to have new primaries, at a cost of millions of dollars – MILLIONS of dollars! Of course they want anybody else to pay for it but them. Any way you look at it, taxpayers are going to foot the bill for their mistakes. I’m sorry but these two idiots should be run out of town on a rail. They are entertaining though. Every time they appear on TV running their mouths, it gives me a good laugh.

I’ve got to watch the political scene every day now. It’s almost an addiction. I have to see what’s going to happen next in this combination of soap opera and sitcom.

Then there’s Geraldine Ferraro… The liberals are feeding on themselves and the media is at the head of the table. I love it.

Just sit back and enjoy the show.
