Time to Move On
Hey! This is worth writing about! My Dear, Sweet, Beautifully Sexy friend Roxanne Dawn is featured in Playboy’s month long April Cyber Girl XTra! I feel like quoting the words from the most famous of songs by the Police … but I won’t. Don’t want Sting getting any hint that Roxanne is about. She’s the girl for me!And Roxanne has straight hair for the feature! She is lovely with her characteristic curly hair or with it straightened; I can’t decide which I prefer … but that’s just ’cause I’m totally smitten with Roxanne! She could dress and style herself after Hillary Clinton and I’d still be smitten … worried about her emotional health … but smitten!
Speaking of Senator Clinton … it’s all over but the coda for New York’s junior senator. Really. It may be close, but the Democratic faithful — the undecided faithful — are now moving to Senator Obama. In a hurry. Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico, once a very vocal advocate of the Clintons, has now officially come out in support of Barack Obama.
There is some truth to President Bill Clinton’s claim that Governor Richardson said he would not support Senator Obama. Back in September, when it was all but anointed that Senator Clinton would be the assumptive Democratic standard bearer in this year’s presidential election, Richardson, who was running for president himself, had nothing but praise for his former First Lady, as if he really wasn’t running and his candidacy was a just a practice run for his next gubernatorial run.
As it turns out, he’s angling for 2nd fiddle on the Democratic ticket. At any rate, if Bill Richardson is abandoning Hillary Clinton, then it’s all over for the lovely senator.
Hillary Clinton used to be a hottie! But chicks with PhD’s and Doctorates always get me hot!
But not quite as hot as Roxanne heats up things!Now that Barack Obama is the presumptive nominee, the media elite are going after Obama, especially because of the flap over his former minister, Jeremiah Wright. It begs the question: why isn’t the media going after Senator John McCain and his loving embrace of right wing fanatical radical cleric, John Hagee? While the media people are bashing Obama over Wright, no one in the media is bringing up Hagee’s blatantly anti-American statements. Or his flat out lunatic foreign policy ideas, like bombing Iran so a larger Middle East war can begin — Armageddon — making way for the return of Christ and the Rapture. Or does the Rapture come before the return of Christ? I can never remember.
The media isn’t racially biased, not from what I see, but everyone in the media is going goo-goo over McCain, giving him a pass — well, they do talk about his age as if that’s really going to be an issue — telling us how wonderful his “Biography” tour is going. Except for Keith Olbermann and Jon Stewart. Well, a couple people on Dan Abrahm’s MSNBC program did mention, slightly, that McCain is basing his entire campaign on his military history, with virtually no mention of the 30-plus years after he left the Navy.
Apparently that isn’t much to talk about. The radical base of the Republican Party doesn’t like him and god forbid the McCain campaign remind them why. Here’s a campaign idea for the Democrats: make a 30-second spot featuring McCain from the 2000 campaign calling the religious leaders who command the radical right wing of the Republican Party agents of intolerance.
Specifically, evangelists Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, calling them “corrupting influences on religion and politics” and they and their most fervent followers were divisive and un-American. It will have a little impact on the Democrats, but it will remind the Radical Right why they didn’t like him eight years ago.
You want to really drive a point home, follow it up with a clip of McCain getting hugs and endorsements from the very agents of intolerance he condemned. Then remind everyone what flip-flop means — and remind everyone the Straight Talk Express is no longer on the road. Now it’s the get elected at any cost express.
Back to his Biography Tour, there’s no mention of his positions on health care or the economy. Oh wait, we do know he isn’t versed on the economy. John McCain is running on his military record. I do hope the Democrats go after his positions — or lack there of — on the issues of today when the general election rolls around.
Like his slavish devotion to continuing the failed policies in Iraq. Muqtada Al-Sadr just called on his Shi’ite followers to begin a campaign against American forces during a speech in which al-Sadr told his followers to stand down from their fight against the Iraqi military, such as it is.The town of Basra has been bleeding for months now, but that little tidbit of information has, for the most part, escaped the scrutiny of the press. The successful surge hasn’t really subdued the violence, just pushed it to different areas. In fact, fighting continues in Baghdad, which is the main reason al-Sadr has called for his followers to cease fighting.
Back to the Democratic primaries.
It was just a year ago the pundits had crowned Senator Clinton as the Democratic nominee, even before she officially announced. She had amassed more money than any other candidate of either party and the conventional wisdom was, no candidate was ever going to catch up. She had the nomination sewn up.From the records released Thursday, Obama raised $40,000,000.00 in March, compared to Clinton’s 20 mil. Obama isn’t the conventional candidate. He didn’t go after the big money donors, he couldn’t Clinton had them all. Instead, Obama used the Internets to get his money and last month he had over 200,000 new donors to his campaign.
What does Senator Clinton have? Her husband running around the country tarnishing his otherwise sparkling reputation in the Democratic Party. Clinton will probably win in Pennsylvania, but if it isn’t by more than 20 percentage points, there’s really no point in going on.
Two months ago I was a Clinton supporter, but now it’s time to step away gracefully and concede that Senator Obama has run the better campaign, brought more new voters to the party and has the new voters excited.Even the super delegates are beginning to talk about throwing their support to Obama. Seriously, the Pennsylvania primary will be the last one that actually counts for anything. It’s time to unite the party and start going after McCain. Let him know his honeymoon is over.
As for me, I’m gonna review the new videos of Roxanne Dawn! Damn, she’s hot! Maybe one day Roxanne and I can go on a honeymoon!
