So what do I believe?

The political distortions are bad on both sides. Wouldn't it be nice to hear the truth. But is the truth just the belief of the teller?

Here are some truths as I see it

The surge worked.
Iran is dangerous.
Kill terrorists before the can kill us.
Lead the world by example. Not follow. Or care what they think of us. Leader's don;t have to be "liked".

We need domestic oil. Always will. So Drill here, now.

We need nuclear power. Sun power, Wind power, Cow and pig fart gas power, NG.

There is no RENEWABLE energy source...once you use the energy it's gone.

We need to CUT the government spending. Eliminate whole departments.

Global Warming is just a new to tax idea. We do need to stop pollution, not by taxing but by enforcing the laws on the books.

The political 501 whatevers have to be muzzled or at least must be held accountable to the truth.

and finally I tip my hand...

I feel that Obama does not have enough experience to be my President.
BUT if he wins I'll back him up and respect him(and poke fun of him).
Can you pledge the same?

Obamapaloosa

Yeah, yeah... 85,000 people frothed up and sweaty.
I get it, the guy's a rick star. They gave way free Wii's, didn't they.
It was and impressive production and quite humongous display of ego.
The white house set needed more forced perspective, you could not see the it all in the close ups.

The low light was Algore, spewing his chicken little doomsday scenario. Enough already Al. the worlds not going to end tomorrow or next week or next century. Your truth is lie based on flawed data and fluffed up by Hollywood imagery. He such an idiot.

Then the JoB shows up to mix up the brewhaha.

I'm a sucker for the videos. Left me thinking good things about ... something.

The speech was pretty good, he's clean and articulate. He pauses just right or is the Wright.
Barry would make a great preacher. And that's what he did...preach about how bad things are, how awful the country is and how only he can CHANGE the system, the country and the world.

But the problem is that it's the same old Democratic bullshit that's been said for 50 years.
Being rich is bad and must be punished and taxed. Making profits are bad and must be punished and taxed.
His government will have the programs to level the playing field. Drag the most to the least.
Unionize the whole country to where the best are compensated the same as the worst. Make everything average.

I was not impressed by the message. The spectacle was impressive. Kind of like the circus

DNC Night 3

I watched in amazement on night 3 of the DNC, one of the great orators of our time address his adoring minions.
The man who brought us "I didn't inhale" and "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" was at his craft again. He was at the top of his game. Bill is the simply the best at lying to the face of the American Public.

His bloviating about his great foreign policy accomplishments and balanced budget fantasies brought back all the repressed memories of how much I hated his presidency. I hated him as much as people today hate Bush.

He needs to be ignored, He wants Obama to lose so bad, so he can have another crack at it in 2012. Power is the man's crack addiction, Hills addicted too. But she distanced herself from Bill the night before(bully for her).

Then came, big mouth Joe B. A thirty year dem lib hack of a Senator. He will step in his own shit, mark my word.
I need to get on it an make a sticker for him. I also need to do a little more homework on him.

DNC Night 2

Wow
I thought day 1 was boring.
But Day 2 was incredibly boring.

All I wanted to see was Hillary blow up the fricken thing.
She didn't do it.
She just did what she had to do. Mildly move her followers over to Obama
She did that sort of.
Hillary basically said this is why I ran for President and why you should vote For Hussein.

She did not say Obama has enough experience.
She did not say that Obama was worthy.

I was disappointed. And I don't know why.

DNC Night one-my view

Oh what a night.
Hey, I'll make a deal with both of you. I'll watch all of your convention if you watch all of mine.
Then we discuss the last night's propaganda.

You've all got to be feeling kind of groovy seeing that Biden won the Veepstakes.
He's a piece of work. Attractive. Articulate. Smooth. But loud.

So I watched the whole shooting match last on PBS. McNeal and Leher are for all intents and purposes, cheerleaders-old crusty ones.

Pelosi laid an egg, she's such a wind bag. The crowd basically ignored here. She has nothing-nothing positive to say. It's tiring.

Jesse Jr. was good, surprisingly good. He's got a future.

Carter was Carter-why didn't he speak?

Teddy, the film, was good. Loved the sail boat. Teddy the speaker has lost a step but I was happy he was there. I kept thinking that we may just croak right there, but the old crumundgon did his business.

The republican loser lost me couple of times. I needed to pee and get some refreshments.

There was a governor and friend of Michelle's that had really nothing of importance to say(to me).

The Michelle film was a very good image rehab. It made her less angry like. Then Michelle's brother came on, I liked him.
Her speech was inspiring at times BUT the "bettering the world" talk left a bad taste in my mouth. I don't want to fix the world, just the USofA. Funny how she didn't mention Princeton or Harvard. How did they pay for that again?
Some people want to give up there lives to public service, give up the good job to work in the trenches, that a good thing but not for everyone. So you give up your good Wall Street or ChiLaw job, do good, how then do you get the million dollar house in Hyde Park?
She's clearly a good Mom, devoted spouse and worthy of the First lady gig. Attractive. Articulate.

She did a good speech, she's quite a good speaker. Way better than Hillary.

I'm looking forward to tonight's Hillaryapaloosa. I think(hope) she's going to blow up the convention and go for the big vote against Obama. She may be able to sway all the delegates to go with her instead.

I'm reaching across the aisle, guys. At least I give the dems a chance to convince me. I need specifics not lofty prose(I can get that from Bob).
