obama
OK, everyone else has weighed in, I guess I’d better, too. I do not like the politics so much, it makes me a little “headachey.” I alternate between hope and headache, as far as politics goes.
Then I’m cleaning the bathroom and there, staring up at me, is the Oct. ’07 Atlantic, with Bill Clinton’s shiny face on it. To the lower left of his ear there is an article promo’ed: “How To Be A Moral Investor.” And I’m thinking, that’s kinda funny. Cuz as we know, the man has the morals of an alley cat. So if he could learn how to invest in some morals I think that would be just dandy.
Everyone says no one died/when Bill lied but we know that’s bullshit. He was known to randomly, erratically, carelessly drop bombs on countries and kill who he could. And then there was the whole welfare-to-work thing, that killed people literally and spiritually.
Up top, the headline says: “Let’s Make A Deal: Bill Clinton Reinvents Charity — And Himself.” And I’m thinking, ha ha ha whoooo am I endorsing?
I do not know Mr. Obama, you know, personally. But he seems like an alright man.
Hillary? I did not appreciate it when she talked smack about my girl Tammy Wynette and was all, “I’m not one of those little stand by your man girls” and then… proceeded to be the worst kind of little “stand by your man” girls. Whereas Tammy Wynette, as far as I’m concerned, is country feminist hero.
And then there were the blowjobs. If you have a woman (or if you have a man) you give up your “random blowjobs from others” privilege. Now, if you partner, to quote the Allman Brothers (because… why not?) is off with one of your “good time buddies/they’re drinking in some cross-town bar” then, by all means, go grab a blowjob.
Really, life is too short for shenanigans like that.
Otherwise, do not pull some little tricks, then go on national television, all, “That woman,” “I did not sleep with that woman,” etc. And if you’re “and his wife,” and you get (or choose to be) set-up, then afterwards you had better say, “I had no idea and what the hell, the man is a dog and I am sorry I called you a slut — he’s the slut, you were just young and stoopid, so wise up, sister” or something. Just anything. But no, you are not allowed to say, “I’m staying with the creep and vote for me!”
Because that just confuses me.
I do not care for Hillary because she is anti-sister. (See above: bombs, no welfare checks, too many erratic blowjobs, the whole “that woman” thing.)
So Obama gets my vote because of… blowjobs. And bombs.
Ta-ta. Remember, vote early and vote often.

your political commentary had me laughing up my chicken-doodle-soup. you speak truth, wacky mommy – exactly what many of us are thinking (silently, of course, because I’m avoiding politics for at least 9 more months). By the way, I don’t care what sort of high-priced marketing they start running in these campaigns. I want to see them try to match country music & bombs. :)

I probably sound apathetic but I don’t really care who gets the nomination as long as it’s someone who can beat the Republican candidate. I guess the nice thing about living in Oregon is that everyone else can do the deciding for us and we can sit back and send checks to the winner. I will pipe in to you however that NOW did endorse Ms. Clinton, whatever that is worth.

Ok, I get where you’re coming from. I was an Edwards girl myself. But I am now in the Clinton camp. I think she can do the job. I don’t believe in judging other people’s marriages. Maybe in the end, she just decided he was flawed but she loved him. Maybe they have an open marriage and just aren’t sayin’. (I certainly wouldn’t!) I do know that his BJ’s are not my bees wax. I think the chicks need to be in charge. I think we need to support our sistahs. I don’t think she will make the same mistakes as her hubby, and I think she is her own woman. If we ever want equal rights for women, we need to support each other. I’m not exactly thrilled, but I’m supporting Senator Clinton.

I think that feminism means judging people on their merits, not their sex. I certainly would not think that women’s oppression had been alleviated because Hilary Clinton was president. She has no clear exit strategy from Iraq, no challenges to corporate greed, and no plan for righting the mess in N.Orleans to start with. Let’s talk about issues, not symbols.

The world awaits the outcome. Your elections affect us all, not just Americans.
