Well let’s get into the political campaign right away in the New Year.
The whole Iowa thing just pissed me off and I know I have spouted off about it for some time but the arrogance or greed of those yahoos in Iowa; hell it is not even a primary but some but some stupid-ass gatherings in barns all over the state.
I really don’t care who they pick it; is all about how the media portrays their picks as some form of revelation. Candidates have actually bowed out of the race because they did not do well in Iowa – why?
My own paper, the Free Press in Detroit basically said Obama will be president because he won in Iowa!
What is this crap about “momentum”; can you compare the yahoos in Iowa with the twits in New Hampshire? What about us in Michigan and the people in Florida that wanted their voices heard but were silenced by both parties – what is going on here?
The way we select candidates for president in the primaries needs to be changed immediately or we will have jack-asses like Huckabee thinking he is somehow presidential material with momentum.
Michigan is poised to challenge the current primary system and so is Florida – encourage your politicians to go for the change!
On another political trend for change; what about those states that are passing laws that mandate they give their electoral votes to the guy or gal that has won the national popular vote and not to the candidate that has won the popular vote in their specific state. Hard to understand - I will have more on this fantastic movement soon. Remember Gore won the popular vote but Bush won (?) the electoral vote.
