Ain't Life Grand?

In nine months we will have to choose between John McCain and Hillary Clinton. I'll let that sink in for a few moments...

Wow. I can't believe that's what rises to the top of the political heap these days.

Hillary Clinton, running on her experience(8 years as a senator, but more than 25 as a politician's wife) even though she's the junior senator in her own state! Oh my goodness that's quite an impressive resume. She cares so much about children and health care, but she was on the board of directors for Wal-Mart, a corporation not exactly known for the benefits to lower and middle class workers. She campaigns against the War in Iraq, but voted for the use of force resolution. She's done a fine job of playing both ends against the middle as she portrayed herself as a moderate who supported President Bush early in his administration, but now attacks him as she has become the candidate for change(although Obama has pretty much stolen that banner from her right now).

And then there's McCain, a wolf in sheep's clothing if I've ever seen one. Goverenor Schwarzenegger praised his skills in cutting spending all of his years in Congress. Great job on that $3 trillion budget, Senator! Many applaud his apparent integrity, until they recall the Keating Five and McCain's involvement. He's definitely a conservative on family values: unlike Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh, McCain has only been married twice. But I do agree with on the need to reform immigration laws. But I think that we need to secure the borders first, then decide what we do with the ones we allow in. By focusing on guest worker programs, McCain has put the cart before the horse.

McCain vs. Clinton... Where's McGovern when you need him?
