Lunch Break Rant

OK, just a few quick thoughts, here (I’m on my lunch break).

If I say “I’m a maverick”, that only means I want you to think I’m a maverick. Odds are I’ve been part of the problem for twenty plus years.

If I say “I am for change”, and I am new and different, odds are I’m telling the truth.

The difference: We have to make a choice soon, between the same old same old or something new. Will Barrack Obama make all of the ludicrous changes he says he means to? I sincerely doubt it.

Just like John McCain won’t reverse Roe v. Wade (which I don’t think the president can do anyway).

I must clarify-I’m not really a liberal, just like I’m not really a conservative. I’m a blue-collar middle-class American. I’m a Soldier, a father, a taxpayer. I believe that Sarah Palin is a gimmick. I believe that Barrack Obama is sincere, even if I don’t agree with everything he says. I believe that we could use some sincerity in the White House, because there hasn’t been much since I’ve been alive.

The race for the White House isn’t as important this year as the race for the Senate and the House. I would love to see every incumbent thrown out, but a good ten percent or so is more realistic.

Just for kicks (and a change), I’m voting for the next non-homo Independent Presidential Candidate. I’m doubtful whether I’m impressed enough by Obama to re-elect him. I doubt McCain will win.

So I’m going to go on with my life and enjoy this, the most entertaining of elections. In the end, I’ll still be a taxpayer, I’ll still be pissed about the price of gas, and I’ll still have kids to feed and send to college.

Because no matter who says they are going to change the world, some things will continue as they have always been.
