Watching the race from the sidelines

I've been AWOL for the past week in blogland, but that doesn't mean I haven't been listening with my ear to the ground.

The newspapers, radio, internet news and blogs and of course the TV news and programs are in a continual uproar with the ever popular "he said, she said", "they're lying", "ummm, I'm telling", and endless discussion about the finer points of the lies and tattles told.

Pardon me for asking, but don't we want grown ups to be sitting in positions of authority and power in the government.

Hillary's little gaff about the sniper fire shows an ease of abruptly departing from reality which doesn't bode well for answering the red phone at 3 am.

Obama would have us believe that he attended a church and was extraordinarily friendly with his pastor, but hadn't a clue about the outrageously nasty poison the man was spewing from his pulpit. That begs us to suspend reality all the way to unconsciousness. It goes way beyond, Miss "Look at me wasn't I brave in Bosnia". As creative as that little story was, Obama wants us to pretend that the vitrol poured out in the church he attends was "taken out of context".

Essentially, we're being told that what we heard isn't what we heard and if it was we only have to remember what is, is folks! Not only that, we're being asked to swallow that that's what Christianity is. Bile rises in the gorge!

Mr. Maverick McCain, for all his faults looks absolutely domesticated beside those two. He's not perfect but he certainly looks like a rose blooming in a city dump at the moment.

Then there's the 3 billion dollar assistance BOTH Hillary and Obama want to send out to save their people. Tommy rot!!! We are dancing with the devil when we cry that the government is responsible for our debts. Truth to tell, it does look as if the banks played a May game with people who wanted to buy homes and offered terms that are now coming home to roost. Scores of people who made a bad choice are now paying for it.

However innocently made their mistake was, it's a worse idea to give even more power to the federal government so they will bail out all those who are in foreclosure. The government governs, it's not Mommy and Daddy and it's deadly dangerous for us to treat them that way. Conversely, it's even more deadly for us to let them treat US as if we're children who need looking after.

The long and short of that is that if either of the Demo(lition) party candidates have their way, taxes will soon be rising to the top like cream again and I'm pretty darn sure none of the people who are purportedly being saved by these two eager volunteers will see any of the cream for themselves. I can however, see the Demo(lition crew) licking cream from their chops.

It boggles the mind that so many are so fooled so much of the time. The show is not over yet and it bids fair to becoming a horror story to rival Mary Shelley.

P.S. hehehehe, remember that comment I made about having my ear to the ground? I meant 30 billion, not 3 billion. What is that new phrase? Oh yeah, "my bad"!
