I have cable television once again and with it comes tons of news programs and some no so news programs. I am addicted to political opinion shows and this political season has been like crack to an addict.
We have candidates like Christine O'Donnell who was busted for claims of being a witch (delicious) and her warped views on just about everything. I spend each night watching Rachel Maddow and others point out all her many lunitic statements and it is pure entertainment. I am just thankful there are more rational voters in that state and that nut case is well behind in the polls.
Paladino is another whacko who found his name in the ballot for govenor of new York. What are these people thinking who support this freak? He is funny and keeps the one liners coming. I especially love his Soprano-like threat he make to a reporter, "I will take you out."
Meg Wittman in California who on occasion has let the three 6s in her forehead show through her thinning hair. Yikes! And in California no less.
There are a few others in Nevada and that wrestler woman in CT. What the hell is this world coming to when these Tea Baggers are supporting and financing such extreme nut jobs??
Now, the Democrats have their own issues. Obama and and his hands off approach to the whole Don't Ask Don't Tell issue is one that leaves me head scratching. he claims to support its repeal and even promised over and over again that within the year it would be history. When the vote comes to the senate floor where was Obama? Where was his support? Why was he not making call or speaking to sway republican votes? And why is the DOJ fighting so hard to reverse the recent court decision to bar implementation of the DADT based on constitionality?
I think Obama is showing very poor leadership in this whole ordeal and the latest is that he has asked Biden to remain on the ticket for 2012 effectively squashing the rumors that Hillary would have been added to the ticket. Hmmm.
Yup, this has been an interesting political season with much more to come...
