That's IT! I'm voting for McCain!!!
Aug. 23rd, 2008 12:25 amI though I was in the club. I thought I was on the "in". He promised me I'd be one of the first to know. But I had to hear it from someone else. You've probably heard by now that Joe Biden is Obama's pick for V.P. And I've got no love from my man Barrack. Apparently somebody thought it would be good to alert the Secret Service about Obama's pick before they alerted me. Ha!
ABC's Jack Tapper pretty much got it all nailed down at 10:50 PM EDT YESTERDAY!!!! when he noted that several could-be VP's got confirmations they weren't gonna be and that the Secret Service had dispatched a protective team to the home of the Democratic Senator from Delaware, Joe Biden. (Remind me to add "Biden" to the dictionary of my spell-checker.) This was posted while I was putting my kids to bed at around 8 PM PDT. Four hours later, I got an email from somebody else letting me know what Barrack said he was going to let me know. I am deflated. I still love Barrack and I think Biden was his best pick, but I can't get over my disappointment.
Next thing you know, he'll be announcing as his picks my suggested picks of Robert Kennedy, Jr. and Christine Gregoire for the head of the Environmental Protection Agency and for Attorney General, respectively---without personally consulting me. I just couldn't bear it.
I now have to throw my considerable lack of political weight behind a man who thinks the economy is fine, that you are not rich unless you make over $5 million dollars per year, that the rest of the country has as much trouble keeping track of how many homes they own as he does, that couldn't bring himself to vote for the last ELEVEN bills supporting military veterans and active duty soldiers, that seems to think experience as a lobbyist is a prerequisite for hiring campaign staff, that had an affair with a younger, prettier woman while his wife was recovering from a horrible accident, that then divorced said accident victim to marry his mistress, that equates military field experience with expertise in foreign affairs, that thought it was a good idea to retort "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt." to his wife when she noted, "You're getting a little thin up there", that thought provoking the Russians was a good thing, and that has sold out his integrity on virtually every compromise issue he's ever championed. Yup. I've got to vote for him.
