The "Loving" Husband

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. School and other matters have been really hectic for me. Anyway, since I have some free time I'd like to talk about what is going on right now in both the Republican and Democratic fields. I always think it's interesting to discuss the Democrats. I'm just going to go out there on a limb and say Barack Obama will be our next president. Terrible? Yes. Shocking? No. First of all, if you've been tuned in at all you know that the Democratic infighting has been at it's worst for the past few weeks. With Obama saying that he's fighting with both Clintons and that Bill Clinton should stop being so involved in his wife's campaign reveals his weakness for the "fight" and also reminds people how much power the Clintons have in the Democratic party. I would say that their influence is dwindling though and that the Democratic leadership going after the Clintons is probably a bad move, considering that Hillary might have a glimmer of hope of getting the nomination. Hillary does not have a message and that is what is killing her. People see her as a female dictator. According to Hillary, "love" was the factor that drove Bill to cross the line in South Carolina. That is hilarious considering that Bill has cheated on her with every woman he meets. Obama is the fresh face and new hope candidate of the Democratic party and everyone seems to like him. He's a little reminiscent of JFK and a lot...I mean A LOT of Democrats like that fact. Listen, I'm a realist not an idealist and I know if Obama gets the nomination, he will most likely win the presidency. The fact is that most people are ready for a black president but not a woman president. No one in the Republican field is sparking my interest at all, except for RP. McCain, Rudy, Romney, and Huckabee all have the same message on Iraq and that is that the President Bush had the right reasons for going into Iraq and still has the right reasons to stay there. I completely disagree with this. Can't you be a Republican and not support the endless war? The dissenting Republicans don't really have a voice except for RP. It's not my fault the guy is a complete nut at times but I have to vote my conscience and if Ron Paul is the only one of these guys who can admit we made a mistake going into Iraq, then I'm going to have to vote for him. Can't there be at least one Republican who can insult President Bush and his foreign policies? I mean come on! George W. Bush has ruined the Republican party as Peggy Noonan has said in a recent article. It's so disheartening to see that people still support Bush as president, especially people with high ranks in college clubs. He is truly an embarrassment to our nation. The situation is that either McCain or Romney will win the nomination. I will go out on a limb and say that it is McCain's time and that he will win the nomination. So, it will probably be a Obama-McCain race and it will be a close one because McCain enjoys a lot of liberal support and he and Hillary are apparently "very close" according to Bill Clinton. So this is what we have to look forward to. Frankly, I kind of want a Democrat in office in order to create true conservatism again and to ignite the base of the Republican party. This election feels eerily similar to when Bob Dole got the Republican nomination in 1996. If the Democrats are elected then we can make fun of a them for a change. Oh how glorious that would be....
