Disgruntled, disheartened, disgusted!

Yep, I'm pretty much over it by now. You haven't heard from me in weeks because I couldn't muster the strength to formulate even one run-on sentence. Politics is politics as usual and my guy is out so I have done my best to tune out. I will undoubtedly support McCain and his running mate but until it is settled I am enjoying the much needed reprieve. I've even shut off talk radio, turned away from CNN, Fox News, and find myself only checking Drudge and Real Clear Politics only a hand full of times.

Will Barack win out? Will Billary come from behind, pull some back room punches, and steal the nomination? Who knows and frankly why should anyone care. Just three weeks ago at a debate in Los Angeles the two of them were holding hands, smiling, and having to admit that they are nearly identical when it comes to policy and platform. Now that Hillary is feeling the pressure she is attempting to draw battle lines but they don't seem to be sticking. Instead, the sheeple of America are blindly signing their allegiance to Obama. Mind you this is the same Obama that we've been looking at for years now. Yet now the sheeple's hearts are overflowing for the 'Change' candidate. (I've already said that he and Clinton have the same views so how can Obama be for change?) More importanly....what constitutes change? WHAT IS 'CHANGE'?! According to Obama, 'Change' is coming out on stages across the country and blatently pandering/ blatently belittling the coolaid drinking masses with lectures repeating variations on 'change', 'hope', and matras of 'Yes we can!' Pretty much every speech I have forced myself to endure add up to nothing but the repetition of these three intellectually shallow principles. I simply DO NOT GET IT! He and his cult-like following even make Hillary seem more human.

I've even heard of people fainting at the site of Obama. Tell me, where has rationality gone? Since when was a lousy politician from Illinois something a kin to Elvis, the Beatles, or dare I say a messianic figure of some sort? Give me a break. It frightens me at the debased level of political discourse in this country. The modern media and thus the citizenry at large have decided the only real test is popularity and electability. Candidates need only to wave and smile and the masses will fall down and worship. Sounds awfully manchurian to me. No one rises in modern political warfare on his or her own merits. I tell you, there is most certainly a puppetmaster pulling Obama's strings, making him dance and leading the majority of America into a trance with no possible favorable outcomes or conclusions.

And what has the GOP done to combat the situation on the left? Chosen McCain. Hmmm.
