Heh. That pretty much sums up my feelings about Obama.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Jesse! I've been meaning to blame you for me having had the Cranberries song "Linger" stuck in my head for DAYS. It's all due to stupid VH1 Classic Best of the 90s. I never would have been reminded of that song otherwise.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ha! Maybe I can swap out "Linger" for what's currently in my head -- the Spider-Man theme.

So, while I wish Obama would stand up and rip out Dick Cheney's heart in front the soulless one's family and proceed to eat it raw on live television...
You know that is not what I want. I think it is the centrists who hate Bush the most. For long time leftist, Bush and Cheney are just more extreme examples of what we've been fighting. But I can't love Obama for what he is when that includes lawyer bashing, and Union bashing and making nice with gay bashers, and all the other ways he goes after the extreme rights favorite scapegoats. Dude that isn't bipartisanship. That is strengthening the loony right ideologically.

I've been happily avoiding most political talk. But I just found out that I can vote in the Democratic Primary here if I want, so all of sudden I feel I have to think about this well before I want to. Le sigh.

The evil is this way?
In the end, I'm just tired of the throngs of people after my vote. Obama & Crew has been relentless for the past 9 months, sending me things three times a week, calling, asking why I didn't watch the DVD that I was sent (my response: "I didn't realize there was homework."). Just ... leave me be, people! It probably makes me sound like some crazy anti-American or something, but I can't wait to eat my dinner in peace!
Wait a minute. How did they know you didn’t watch the DVD? Are they bugging your home, too? Sheesh, what you Iowans put up with ..

Yes, this. I’d like to vote for Obama – Favorite Son and all that – but I really dislike the bashing. I since he’s trying to pull in crossover votes, and I understand that, but still …

For those of you tired of being pursued for your vote, move to DC! nobody cares how you vote (we go Dem. pretty consistently). The down side is that you get campaign ads for Maryland and Virginia state races ... interminably. (A cockeyed optimist - one who finds the bright side to being disenfranchised.)
