Lack of excitement in candidate options . . .

This election cycle is the first in a long time where no sitting President or Vice President is running for election/reelection. We’re at war with terrorism. Our social security program is on life-support and we’re blindly allowing illegals to receive welfare services. Our promised “double fence” on the southern border is non-existent so far. The Iranian wacko-in-chief is still testing missiles and attempting to build nukes to put in them – just began construction on their 2nd nuke plant. President Bush’s approval ratings are at 30% and the Democrat-lead Congress is at 22%. The Bush tax cuts of a few years ago will revert back and our taxes will go back up if they aren’t made permanent.

There are a lot of very important issues the next President will have to tackle yet what do the Dems give us?

Hillery – a vindictive, has-been, “Monica’s boyfriend’s wife” with a mountain of baggage and an army of closet skeletons. Barack Hussein – an ultra-leftist (more liberal Senate voting record than Kennedy and Kerry!) who believes in higher taxes and a federal program for every issue – because those D.C. dolts know what’s best for us of course.

On the GOP side we’re offered who?

McCain – a war hero who would probably prosecute the War on Terror overseas well but leave our southern border ignored, provide amnesty for millions of illegals, and push through more anti-1st Amendment crap like the McCain-Feingold bill. Ron Paul – a libertarian in the GOP who will attempt to pull our troops home allowing the war to move back to our borders instead of the enemy’s turf. Huckabee – a social conservative (a good thing) that believes the federal government can fund the end of all problems (a very bad thing).

This election may just turn out to be a vote for the lesser “evil”. I’ll never vote for a true leftist so the two Dem candidates are off the list. Paul doesn’t have a chance at the GOP nomination so he’s off. That leaves me with McCain and Huckabee.

It looks like I’ll be downing some Maalox before voting this November. Or maybe I’ll just write in my own name.
