I knew Giuliani was too divisive to be electable. Certain social conservatives were getting into hysterics for nothing. It's okay, you can come out now...the Rudy-monster is gone.
I voted for McCain yesterday, BTW.
While on the subject of politics, seeing liberal Democrats rip each other to shreds is fun. I didn't know that wheezy old fart Ted Kennedy's endorsement was that big of a deal:
"Women have just experienced the ultimate betrayal," NOW's New York State chapter said in a scorching rebuke. "Senator Kennedy's endorsement of Hillary Clinton's opponent in the Democratic presidential primary campaign has really hit women hard."
The thing is, if he would have endorsed Hillary, he would have been called a racist by black activists.
Fred Thompson has dropped out of the Presidential race. This is disappointing but not surprising. I was rooting for Thompson, but I became less and less enthusiastic as time went on. His campaign seemed to lose momentum after a promising start.
Now the question is, who will I vote for in the Florida primary? Thompson will probably still be on the ballot, I could still vote for him and I might yet do so. But this would be a wasted vote. When I consider who else I could vote for, I lean towards McCain. This is because he seems like the candidate who could hold up best to the inevitable attempts from the left to smear and slime him. He was a POW, so nobody could dare call him a "chickenhawk" and get away with it. He isn't a hardcore conservative, so perhaps he could get more of the centrist vote. (This is probably why he's winning the primaries.) He seems kind of mean, but perhaps we need somebody mean and tough. It would be nice to see someone fight back when they are insulted and slandered, rather than turning the other cheek as Bush has.
But then there is McCain-Feingold Act, which is the main thing that has turned so many conservatives against McCain. This act infringes on First Amendment rights and should never have been passed.
So, as you can see, I'm very conflicted. When it comes to politics, the only things I know for sure right now are that I want to keep that viper Hillary or that empty suit Obama out of power and that I loathe the left and the far-right with the heat of a million suns. (By "far-right" I mean whacked-out paleocons and libertarians.)
I don't really have anything to say. I just wanted to check in and say that I've just been too busy or too tired to blog. Or maybe I'm just not into blogging right now...nothing is really inspiring me right now. Hopefully, that will change eventually.
